Vermont:
Don’t let the door hit you.
They’re gonna have to sell of lot of maple syrup and books to get their own military going. Not sure if I’d defend that state or not and if they secede, we can just swap’em out for Puerto Rico. That way, the flag can stay the same.
It would be ironic if Vermont votes to secede in 2008 but the President-elect Hillary Clinton vows to crush the rebellion of Socialists.
During the week of the Battle of the Wilderness, the First Vermont Brigade suffered 1,645 dead or wounded out of a total strength of 2,100 including one regimental commander dead and two of his replacements wounded.
The First Vermont suffered 10% of the total Union causalities during the battle.
Perhaps these “gentlemen” should ask those fallen Green Mountain Boys what they think about secession.
bttt
What we really need is a partial secession mechanism, in which states “secede” from the whole federal social engineering and wealth redistribution apparatus, and otherwise remain part of the union.
Bye bye Bernie Sanders....!
I fully support their right to secession, as a semi-southerner and states rights supporter! I welcome Good ‘Ole Bernie (and Howard “The Duck” Dean’s) Exit from the US!
But don’t question their patriotism...
I guess they’re willing to give up their precious Social Security payments and their Medicare.....
Um....there’s the door.
I’m surprised that Massachusetts hasn’t done this yet!
They need to make sure to take their part of the deficit (their representatives have always been disproportionately for greater spending) with them...
They figure they would still be better off as they get the protection of the US military for free, just like Europe and the European “neutral” countries do.
Why don’t we kick the little b@$t@rds out, declare war on them, and then spill over into Quebec and kick Froggie’s butt too? Oh, yeah, I keep forgetting Sarkozy is now the head Frog.
“US out of Vt!” — What a sad, sad end to Vt’s history. Such could only happen at the hands of the weak and the cowardly. Ethan Allen, roll over.
Oh, yeah—let it go quick!
Could we start something like that in the state outside Fed dependent NY City ?
I assume maple syrup will be the No. 1 export followed by a new state motto: Eat syrup or die!
Don’t know if an economic powerhouse can be built on that, but it’s worth a try.
How are they going to survive on just maple syrup?
