Can we question their patriotism?

A World Of Warcraft convention would be more interesting, and infinitely more practical.

I have a better idea:

Repeal the 14th amendment and return to the original structure of government.

States can be free to be as liberal or conservative as they please. They will also be in competition for people and jobs.

Who do you think will win?

rather then let this spin out of control into another civil war leading to the deaths of thousands how about we pre-emptively dispose of these twits now?

Vermont was once an independent state (that was the first VT republic); so was Hawaii (not a republic). If the US ever crumbles these 2 flaky edges will be the first to fall off.

I find it amusing that the people who are the most dependent and least able to survive without big Government are the ones who push this.

Before we start the talk of secession, we need mass migration of armed conservatives to the seceding state(s).

I vote for California. A few million red-staters could knock over Los Angeles and San Francisco in a few hours, and the state would be ours. From there we take Oregon and Washington and own the coast.

New Englanders "probably would allow abortion and have gun control

There is recipe for success. no population and no guns to protect them from expansionist Canada.

so was Hawaii (not a republic).

Between the overthrow of the monarchy and annexation by the US, Hawaii was a republic.

I am too. The stats have shown that Southern states are far more dependent on the Federal Government. I say let ‘em go - see how long they last. Vermont actually could work - it would have an economy dependent on tourism (skiing), kind of like small countries in the Caribbean.

Do you really think a meeting of kooks qualifies as breaking news?

If allowed to go their own way, New Englanders "probably would allow abortion and have gun control,"

I somehow doubt that an independent Vermont would have much gun control at all, just as the current State of Vermont has probably some of the best gun rights in the entire country.
