Forums - General - Screw it: secede from the Union!

First all, I have been a a Union guy all my life.  Born in NJ and raised in VA.  I am not an extremist either but this has gone to far.  The government has been forcing sound banks to take TARP money, spending to the point of near hyperinflation, and telling states what to do by the tone of political blackmail.  I have reached a breaking point. 

We must take heed the words of Lincoln in this however that a country will tear itself apart from the inside and in 2008 til now this is the case.  Hundreds of thousands have taken to the streets to the jeers of onlookers who call them crazy just b/c they want to be left alone and have the right to have their children grow up with no gov't debt.  Our politicians are not working hard, they are hardly working and they don't give a damn.   What's worse, akin to the British labelling patriots in 1776 rebels the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) is now calling the very people who want to save the Union, terrorists.

Enough is enough.  Let's take a stand.  Secede from the Union.

Governor Rick Perry reaffirming Texas sovereignty under the 10th Amendment.



Joke post? Before I comment, I want to be clear.
I hope it isn't, btw.



 

 

TImes are not good anywhere right now, no matter who is in charge, no matter where. It is inevitable.

But if it helps things will always change . Just enjoy the ride and don't play the underdog when you're down that's all I can say

Hell no.  Have you been watching the news?  Texas is the 29th state with soverignty legislation that put state's rights first.  Sound familiar to another time in US history?
