Idiocracy is here: Secession petitions filed in 20 states

BYE!!

Take care! Oh, and when you start falling apart don't come crying to us!

Tough shit! We're staying!

Now, doesn't that chap your hide?

There will be no secessions.

It's total idiocy to think they'll actually get their way.

My fellow Oklahomans are late getting into the game.

Can I vote Texas or Mississippi out?

secede. South Carolina, maybe. Of course, they would have to form their own government, international trade partners, etc. No work permits for cross-border workers, either. Then sit back and watch this thing play out: Lord of the Flies/Handmaid's Tale/Escape from New York.

They can all have fun being chased by the smoke monster and polar bears.

Keep South Carolina, just banish the crazies. They have good barbeque there.

I say, let them leave. Let's be rid of the deadweight. My family will be the first to move out of Texas to the US. (Just please, not Oklahoma--couldn't take Oklahoma

Better Off Without 'Em: A Northern Manifesto for Southern Secession



by Chuck Thompson

Release Date: August 14, 2012
Let’s talk about secession.

Not exactly the most suitable cocktail party conversation starter anywhere in the country, but take that notion deep into the heart of Dixie and you might find yourself running from the possum-hunting conservatives, trailer-park lifers, and prayer warriors Chuck Thompson encountered during the two years he spent traveling the American South asking the question: Would we be better off without ’em?

The result is a heavily researched, serious inquiry into national divides which is unabashedly controversial, often uproarious, and always thought-provoking. From a church service in Mobile, Alabama, where the gospel entertainer announces "Islam is upon us!" to a store selling Ku Klux Klan memorabilia on a quaint little street in South Carolina—Thompson lifts the green velvet drapes on a South that would seem to belong more to the time of Rhett and Scarlett than the dawn of the twenty-first century.

y crunching numbers, interviewing experts, and roaming the not-so-former Confederacy, Thompson—an openly disgruntled liberal from the Northwest—makes a compelling case for southern secession. What would the new nations look like if Virginia governor Bob McDonnell was elected as the first President of the Confederate States of America? If a southern electorate was left to fend for itself while the North did damage control on an economy decimated by cut-rate southern workers who operate as a rival nation within its own borders? If the BCS championship football game were replaced by a North vs. South Coca Cola/ Starbucks Blood Bowl™? If Florida went to the South and Texas to the North in the most complex land-and-population grab in American history?

Better Off Without ’Em is a deliberately provocative book whose insight, humor, fierce and fearless politics, and sheer nerve will spark a national debate that is perhaps long overdue.

I have a feeling they are not and are probably some of the biggest "moochers" in the nation.

"Deport Everyone That Signed A Petition To Withdraw Their State From The United States Of America."

"Strip the Citizenship from Everyone who Signed a Petition to Secede and Exile Them"

...to reject this unanimously. Right?
