Here come the new Green Mountain Boys. The Middlebury Institute, a think tank devoted to the study of separatism, secession, and self-determination, is planning the First North American Secessionist Convention in Burlington, Vt.

My wife and I were saying we should give southern California back to Mexico and see how the Hollywood crowd would like that.

My wife said, “Ju’ workin’ for me! I want Eric Estrada back on T.V. and when Dana Carvey does the “Church Lady” ju’ must say ‘Senora de Iglesias”.

I used to be torn on the idea. On the one had, I think a state leaving the Union (again) will empower the Muslim Atheist Satanic Communist Dictator - Barack Hussein Obama.

On the other hand, it will stop him in his tracks.

Alaska has the best chance to break away. They are geographically in the most secure position, and they don't need the US. Plus, their population is hard working and hardly the welfare, stupid, ACORN types.

The rest of the Union will be a tougher nut to crack. However, once the break up starts, it will be impossible to stop.

“...successful secessionist strategies.”

Which ones were those?

“For one thing, as hurricane Katrina has glaringly shown, the Federal government is a clumsy, bureaucratic, politicized, and insensitive instrument...and states and localities that give themselves over to depending on it are in real trouble.”

And Louisianna did so very well at the State level.

Vermont ought to be very successful as an independant land locked Republic.

Compare 2008 map with 2004 map and you get a different picture, or else ACORN stole those votes.

Sad but I wish it would start.

I also know it won’t.

No, no, no, no, no, I said gaddamned it, NO! We kick the nests of sedition and subversion out of our Union!!!!!!!!!!!!! They left us, not vice-versa, so let them pay for their arrogance and self-importance by subjecting them to building their own deluded Utopia from the dirt-up, not sucking the life blood out of us and forcing us to hide in a cave. Piss on Kalifornia, Washington, Chicago, New Yawk, and all the other Leftist tumors that have metastacized inside our borders. Treat them like a cancer, and cut them out of the host, for the good of the body American.

Geeez! That graphic is very close to how I picture a national breakup, if it happens!

I can see the NE states going with liberal parts of Canada to form a socialist nation, California, Oregon, and Washington state forming their own country, maybe with some of the southern parts of Nevada and New Mexico and SW Texas (if Texas would let it!), and the SE U.S. up through the heartland (flyover country to liberal Dems) connecting up with central Canada on up to and including Alaska to form a new, better conservative nation.

We, the new conservative nation, would have a stronger Constitution, freer states and people, and would quickly become a world superpower (if we ever lost it in the breakup), while the liberal, socialist nation would wallow in self-incrimination ("I'm more liberal than you!", "Am not!", "Am too!" . . . ), and deteriorate into second-rate status.
Probably end up asking us for assistance and protection, too!

At this point, I’m all for it. It’s time to start a new country, one that honors and loves God, does what is right and admonishes what is wrong, one where not a single liberal/socialist/communist/fascist is tolerated.

I know I sound like a broken record, but until someone proves me wrong, I'll keep on saying it:
Get the liberals to want to break away from us! We're halfway there now!

This map, done by Mark Newman of the University of Michigan, uses shades of purple in addition to red and blue to indicate how heavily a county went for one candidate or another. I don't see a clean breakup on a regional or State basis. It'll be neighbor v neighbor and it'll be ugly.

I remember HUSSEIN during the campaign, on TV speaking from the floor of the Senate with the socialist dog SANDERS sitting directly behind him in full view of the camera leaving no doubt to anyone with brains in the age of the carefully controlled image that HUSSEIN was a marxist.

What better place than Vermont to get it started.

By the way, I respect Sanders for his honesty.

States Rights movements do not require secession. Simply refuse to allow the Feds to do more than the Constitution allows them. The rest to the States and the People.

That is how the document is written. I know the Dems are not happy with that, but those are the facts.

The courts legislation by interpretation is what got us in this mess. It has been a long time coming, but it is here.

We must deal with it.

No Secession, but declare States Rights as per Constitution.
