Well freedom fans, Glenn thinks the hundreds of thousands who e-signed the various peaceful secession petitions are crazy.
Crazy like Noah...
The Parliament passed the Stamp Act and is now the "Law of the Land".
Talk of break-up with Great Britain is absurd, they are the most powerful nation on Earth!
You all can start your own crazy experiment but we need to think rationally! Independence is NOT going to happen and anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.
So GIVE!
GIVE!
GIVE!
Till it Hurts and even more! As long as our chains are legal! I am A-Okay with it!
Our ancestors would be appalled.
Bwahahahaha
This is our last face saving to prevent us from being completely dependent on Ubama.
Also, if signing that petition puts us on his "hit list" how long will it be until he tries to rid the country of the undesirable populations?
That is crazy you say? That would never happen you say?
History is an endless list of things that could/would never happen.
Also listing to Rush today and his explanation of Hellcare will bankrupt this country.
But I guess to some submission is preferable to (supposed) exciton.
I saw somewhere on the web a few years ago where Bill Ayers was talking about his vision for America. He said he expected at least 2 million people would have to be eliminated because they would not indoctrinate.
“Glenn is on this issue to me kind of like the show Veggie Tales. Where they preach good Christian morality and life lessons (Without ONCE mentioning Jesus or G-d)
Glenn is like this too, PREPARE! PREPARE! PREPARE!
Prepare for what? The Collapse? Well yes, but what do you think comes with the Collapse Glenn!?...”
True. I like the Veggie Tale analogy. In addition to the “prepare, prepare, prepare...”
Glenn has repeatedly urged listeners to move from northern states to Oklahoma and Texas. The inference is obvious.
Yet, he implies that people who see secession coming are insane. It is hedging. Later, depending on what happens, he can say he always said they were kooks.
But when they see it become more inevitable as God fearing, red states defend their citizentry against brazen evil - then - the talking radio heads will go out on a limb and bravely “predict” secession.
In defense of the creator of Veggie Tales, the original episodes contained Bible verses between segments. These were removed by the new ownership, which took over when the franchise became financially over-extended after the full-length "Jonah" movie.

A very astute observation, it (sadly) also applies to Rush Limbaugh too.
Although on his TV show now, Glenn seems to be taking this a little more seriously and is explaining how Ubama's tyranny MIGHT cause a breakup/down.
“Or to declare yourself to be a Christian opposing abortion. Or a believer in the Constitution.”
See DHS memo of 2009.
Check this out! This bunch is collecting signatures to petition the Texas legislature to put a statewide vote on the secession issue before the people.

You should start a new thread with that.
“I don’t think it will start any meaningful conversation. One-hundred thousand people is .0333% of America.”
If that were true than there would be no reports on this matter at all.
The catch now is for us to defend & advance the cause of self-government on forms across the web and in the news.
This is a forum and we must take advantage of it!
“Interwoven as is the love of liberty with every ligament of your hearts, no recommendation of mine is necessary to fortify or confirm the attachment.
The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth; as this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national union to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned; and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts.
For this you have every inducement of sympathy and interest. Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together; the independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts of common dangers, sufferings, and successes.
But these considerations, however powerfully they address themselves to your sensibility, are greatly outweighed by those which apply more immediately to your interest. Here every portion of our country finds the most commanding motives for carefully guarding and preserving the union of the whole.”
— George Washington, Farewell Address
By seceding, the states that don’t come along, we’ve lost that land and resources. Why leave anything to them and thus essentially give them the victory in that part of the country? If anyone’s going to leave, we mnake them leave the country as it is now, let them go back to europe or africa or south america or asia, we’ll stay here and keep the whole damn country.
It smoked Beck out...
I think there are reports because the media will tie all Republicans to this. It will make moderates think we’re crazy, and we’ll lose their votes. The average person is nothing like the average FReeper. You and I just disagree on the outcome this will create. You follow your path, I’ll follow mine.
I’ve never listened to Glen Beck’s radio show. I’ve only seen him on Fox News a handful of times years ago. I never really cared for him.
Exactly. These petitions are a joke. I don’t even know how you would pursue secession in a serious, credible way, but we sure haven’t seen it yet. Unless a truly viable effort should emerge — as proven by the highest elected officials of some state taking real action towards secession — then conservatives should steer clear of this secession stuff.
