    Not sure why this subject erks me. Im all for more states rights... and if you don't like the state you live in, interstate mobility is easy. Not to mention the states are widely diverse. When a state tries to secede, it breaks down the pride of a nation as a whole. Practically, there's the economy of scale. We are a more wealthy nation as a whole... Simón Bolívar saw this in south america but his vision fail and look at them now.

    Remember when conservatives used to tell liberals "America, love it or leave it!"?

    You know as somebody who uses the VA and government aid. I would basically loose everything the government of America provides for me and my family. The VA loan that got me my house. The VA that provides me with healthcare when i need it (PTSD). The same VA that got me this job to help feed my family. What about our parents and grandparents who worked all their lives and put into social security, they loose all of that too! It was an ill advised statement i said about kicking some conservative ass, i just take this very personally because Ive sacrificed for the Country of America and have many friends who made the ultimate sacrifice for America, and if we secede their families are left with nothing.

    "Ok, now let's give our rights as an American and take up arms against the Union. Better yet, lets just become another country on our own."

    Some people are ridiculous, and not to mention it's illegal to this very thing. Whoever signs those petitions are nothing more than a low down dirty traitor, and I'll gladly go to war with anyone in our nation that is Anti-America.

    Go ahead and try it... I'll be picking off tards from a mile away while waving my American Flag proudly.

    Its Treason:
    Oran's Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as "...[a]...citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]." In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aiding or involved by such an endeavour.

    I'm guessing there's a little code that is exporting those names right into the FEMA camp round up database. Project Narwhal was just a practice run.

    The definition of treason is well known. Petitioning for a legal withdrawl is not treasonous. None of that really matters because the US government will not allow it. Bottom line is, this petition is not advocating overthrowing the government in Texas.

    In response to your question. They're full of ****.

    Also, off subject....military leadership gets a free pass post Vietnam. Soilders should be honored but military leadership should be held to task.
