All of you who are disappointed by the statist takeover of the US of A, don't leave the country!!!! I know many of you want to go to Canada, or to Australia, where the president is a man of God. But why pay all that air fare travel, when you can sign a petition to create your OWN red-state nation!

Americans in 15 states issue White House petitions asking permission to secede

Louisiana is one of the biggest welfare states in the country. If they pull out of the union they would be a 3rd world nation within a number of weeks. Actually, most of those states would be a 3rd world nation within a number of weeks. Actually, if we let most of those states go, it would probably help our budget. Louisiana gets almost $2 in federal subsidy for every $1 they pay out in federal taxes.

The New York petition was started by someone in North Dakota. LOL!

The south shall rise again lol. Any minorities might want to move to NYC

The South would've been better off had Gen. Sherman turned right at Atlanta. Instead he retreated to Savannah.

BTW, this week (Nov. 15 or 16, depending on the source) is the anniversary of the beginning of Sherman's Retreat to the Sea.

Thanks I will now store this in the useless information section of my brain.

This is silly.

Seriously, the executive branch has no authority to allow a state to secede. SCOTUS in Texas v. White ruled that unilateral secession was unconstitutional. It left open the possibility that a state could secede with the approval of the other states, but there's no Constitutional mechanism to effect this.

And anyway, it's being childish and whiny. You don't like the outcome of one game, so you want to take your ball and go home.

No, we aren't a nation of red states and blue states. Good grief. I thought this thread was a joke.

The people signing the petitions are the joke.

President Obama is the best thing that ever happened to the gun and ammo business.

You got that right. Our local gun store said Obama is the best guns salesman of all time!
