Indeed it’s not going to happen and it just contributes to the “Conservatives are loons” meme which helps to lose more elections.

A complete waste of time. People need to be more concerned about the image that the Right projects and less concerned about pointless things that make them feel good.

Well for me all options are on the table, including secession. It’s the only thing that gets the statists attention. Would you sink into tyranny when you could have done something about it? I think not. It is good that the US Govt knows what the some are contemplating.

I think a lot of people are currently very angry. Maybe this will help them vent, and then they can come back to reality.

I agree. If there comes a time for serious secession discussions, it wouldn’t be on internet sites and online petitions. While a lot of the reasons to secede have been met, it is not time to fold the tent and run. Our country survived 16 years of FDR, we can survive eight of Obama. Second terms are usually scant on substantial polices anyway, and usually are mostly side issues. We hold the House, so we control our fate on legislation. Our major issues have to come from the seemingly unlimited overstepping of executive powers by the administration, and unwillingness of anyone to hold him accountable. I hope with this election in the rear view mirror, our representatives will stop turning a blind eye. Their strategy was clearly to avoid any side issue in the year going into the election to keep a laser focus on the economic failures. This did not work, so we better see a chance of direction in these committees.

I agree with your take on it.

In addition I would state that we need to take the whole nation back, not just parts of it.

Folks, Obama may not even make it through this next four years. As more information comes out regarding Benghazi and the Petraeus scandal, we may be amazed how history plays out.

Senator Feinstein is angry the Petraeus investigation was kept from her for months.

I’m concerned that the idea of seceeding actually might make conservatives “feel good”.

But otherwise I agree with you, the secession stuff just shows that the left doesn’t have a monopoly of the lunacy market.

No matter what we do they call us loons anyway!

Question - Why do we always have to act in certain way to avoid being called loons and other names?

First, you say - don’t go after obama/soetoro’s constitutional eligibility issue because they will call us loons;
Then you say just vote them out. OK you learn the hard way that you can’t vote them out because they know how to cheat but you don’t.
Now even your nice, polite, law-abiding ‘vote them out’ gets you nothing but smirks, gloats, mockery and miseries;

but what do you do? — you choose to just take it, don’t even think of leaving the ‘Union’ that is ‘indivisible’.....

You folks sure act like the ‘battered wives’ - it is always your faults, you deserve the beating. You don’t dare to entertain the idea of leaving your abusive spouse!
