12% See Secession Attempt as Very Likely in Next 25 Years Or So

Rasmussen Reports ^ | 22 June 2010 | Rasmussen Reports

[LTCJ]

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 28% of Adults believe it is at least somewhat likely that some states will try to leave the United States and form an independent country over the next 25 years or so.

If obama gets re-elected, do you think it will take 25 years?

[Bubba]

I believe it will be utterly astounding the states that will leave the union. Just how many military installations do you suppose would be encompassed? It may be easier to list the states or city states that will not join (or be allowed to join) the “New American Order”.

Last year there was a very interesting conservation with an Admiral. A few situations and questions were proposed. His answers were, most would say... shocking. Let’s just say... those answers would make anyone I know more at ease and confident than they have been in the past umpteen years.

[AGreatPer]

I will immediately move to whatever state is first.

[TheZMan]

Was this a private conversation with you, or something more public?

Gotta Link?

[B-Chan]

25 years from now, we'll be Mexico.

[Lil Flower]

25 years from now there won?t be anything from which to secede.

You got that right!!

[AvOrdVet]

25 years from now, we'll be Mexico.

Cool, I say make Hussong's Cantina the new capital!

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

I wish it would, but not gonna happen.

“State” doesn’t mean anything any more. The federal government has cut the legs off the states and made them dependent on it. Although there is no constitutional authority to do so, the federal government has usurped all the power that properly belongs to the states.

[Bookwoman]

Who ya gonna call now?

“That’s the mistake the South made last time.”

Hahahahaha...thanks for the westside NYC history synopsis...

“Then if a state wanted to be socialist, it could knock itself out doing so”

But socialism is predicated on confiscating money from the productive classes. Socialists are always parasites and cannot co-exist with capitalists. Even if a wall of economic separation could be erected between socialist and capitalist states, the socialist, by his very Luciferian nature, would seek to destroy the capitalist as an end in itself.

I love your tag!

[LTCJ]

His answers were, most would say... shocking.

I didn't move in flag circles as a field grade officer. I'd be very interested in hearing more on this. Can you provide more details?

[LTCJ]

“State” doesn’t mean anything any more.

There are moves in the right direction, with sovereignty laws being passed and proposed in numerous states.

Georgia has a gubernatorial candidate basing his campaign on a heavy emphasis for states rights.

[APatientMan]

If one nationally respected voice legitimized the idea the percentage would go from 12 to 25 in a month.

[Eva]

How about just calling it the Reassertion of States Rights, or Reconfirmation of States Rights?

[LTCJ]

I think you have a good point. Very much a “Emperor has no clothes” scenario.

[GonzoGOP]

How about just calling it the Reassertion of States Rights, or Reconfirmation of States Rights?

Exactly, just have the states pass laws reasserting the 10th amendment and local governance. Don't pick any fights you don't absolutely need to. Despite the low regard in which the progressives are viewed here, there are a lot of them. And they can bring in foreign troops from the UN and other socialist proxies to help them loot.

It is important to keep in mind exactly what we are after, the transfer of power away from Washington DC and back to the sovereign independent states. If that can be done without fighting all the better. If there is a fight then every effort must be made to divide the enemy against themselves. Drive a wedge between the pacifist peacenik wing and the militant socialist wings of the Democrat party. To use the terms set out by Ayn Rand we must pitt the looters against the moochers. If sold the right way there are a lot of Dems who might just want to push for state sovereignty. Especially if the threat of a Palin presidency combined with a GOP house and senate appear to be a credible threat.

Remember all the talk after the 2004 election about California, Washington and Oregon breaking away from G. W. Bush's "Jesus Land". Well find those people and make it clear that if they go their way we will be happy to go ours. If they want to butt bugger each other all day long we will not try to interfere in their state, so long as they don't try to interfere in ours.

And when the Russians, Mexicans...etc. (whoever) step over your ‘border’ and start their monkeyshines... who you gonna call?

Well, considering that the next thing that will likely happen in the event of a secession is a "hostile takeover", I imagine we will be calling the Russians..."sir".
