Oh please, "if you disagree, leave" is an extremely elitist cop out.

If you don't like someone being a part of something you have a duty to defend, why don't you leave?

Not at all. My grandfather came to this country to be an American. When people asked him to become involved in Scottish things, he basically told them if he loved Scotland so much, he would have stayed there. If you don't love a country, then it really does make sense to try to find a country you can love.

It isn't a simple matter of disagreement when people claim that they are not a "citizen" but a "subject", not a simple matter of disagreement when people start objecting to other people being burried under an American flag (considering it an insult rather than an honor), and not a simple matter of disagreement when people start talking about "eternal enemies". I expect that sort of crap from Islamofascists, not Americans citizens.

I'm not the one talking about my country as if it is being occupied by a hostile foreign nation. That is exactly how many Southerners here seem to feel.
