What is the root of the secessionist movement? The driving force at the grass roots level is of course money. Many Americans are rightly disturbed by the transfer of their wealth, and the wealth of their children, to companies that made risky investments, or were poorly managed. This is new territory for the government. The transfer started under George W. Bush with his bank bailout and auto makers bailouts, and the Obama administration has really poured on the spending with additional bailouts and stimulus packages. Citizens of more fiscally conservative states are finding that there money is being redirected from their pockets, and sent to other states.
In years past politicians from both parties have used the guilt factor to increase spending for the "needy". This tempers the backlash from the populace as they realize they are to sacrifice a new boat, or nicer home, for the greater good of society. Today, citizens are being asked to sacrifice their children's education, vacations, and even the home they are in, so that money can be transferred from their wallets to multi-billion dollar corporations.
When we add more government controls and regulations on everything from cigarettes, to fast food and guns, we begin to see the problem. Government is now coming at everyone at some level, over some issue. This piling on is causing those fringe secessionist movements to became mainstream very quickly.

Or maybe not.
Do your worst. If this is your worst, though, it's pretty feeble.
Hey, have you ever heard of Maryelissa Tyrona Brown-Bollin?
Just keep pushing my button! Big words from SUCH a pencil neck geek,pretty boy,white collar,NERD!
Y'all know that pretty soon your Lord ‘Lincoln’ will be fully exposed!!
OR Better yet Texas will secede and then we'll see what a man you are..Will y'all just murder civilians like before?
Okay.
Y'all know that pretty soon your Lord Lincoln will be fully exposed!!
Yeah, whatever. It's been a hundred and fifty years. How much longer is this going to take?
OR Better yet Texas will secede and then we'll see what a man you are.
Go with my blessing. I won't miss you.
Will y'all just murder civilians like before?
Will y'all start shooting at US forces sitting on property they own like before? Will you enslave a race like before?
“As for the South, it is enough to say that perhaps eighty per cent of her armies were neither slave-holders, nor had the remotest interest in the institution. No other proof, however, is needed than the undeniable fact that at any period of the war from its beginning to near its close the South could have saved slavery by simply laying down its arms and returning to the Union.” ~Maj. General John B. Gordon, CSA
I'll see your Maj. General John B. Gordon (head of the KKK in Georgia after the war, by the way), and raise you one.
"If asked what the real issue involved in our unparelleled conflict, the average American citizen will reply, "The Negro," and it is fair to say that had there been no slavery there would have been no war.--Maj. General John B. Gordon, CSA"Slavery was undoubtedly the immediate fomenting cause of the woful (sic) American conflict."--Maj. General John B. Gordon, CSA
laughing AT you, as MOST here DO.

Still can’t answer any of those questions, huh? Not surprising.
The next line, by the way, is "And rather than submit to shame to die we would prefer."
Yet another empty southern boast, I guess. More properly it should read, "And rather than die, to submit then gripe about how unfair it all is for another century and a half we would prefer." But who's going to march to that?
'There is a rancor in our hearts you little dream of, we hate you, sir.'
Oh, I have a pretty good idea. I just think it's somewhere between comical and pathetic.
Until you and your Lost Cause-loving comrades actually DO something other keep up your familiar whine, there's not much for me to do.
We Southerners will not be subjugated and enslaved to your Fascist Empire..No longer!!
So, let me get this straight. You ARE enslaved now, as you see it, but any minute now you're going to do something so that you will no longer be enslaved. Is that right?
PLEASE do EVERYONE a big favor & RESIGN from FR, as you are a source of EMBARRASSMENT to EVERYONE who values TRUTH & common DECENCY.
laughing AT you, LYING BIGOT.

***Until you and your Lost Cause-loving comrades actually DO something other keep up your familiar whine, there's not much for me to do.***
We WILL be waiting for y'all to reconstruct us...Come on down with all your sissy friends {like before} 4 to 1..
**So, let me get this straight. You ARE enslaved now, as you see it, but any minute now you're going to do something so that you will no longer be enslaved. Is that right?**

In your case it appears to stand for disloyalty to the United States and a desire to live in a different country.
I've grown tired of your Hatred towards my friend Stan Watie.
And I've grown tired of his hatred for my region, and for his referring to my relatives who answered the call of the United States and fought under its flag as "filth."

This Round..We burn your Homes
Yeah, whatever. Let me know when you actually do something more tangible in your secession movement than whine, bluster, bully and threaten.
