League of the South puts up 'Secede' billboard on I-85 in Montgomery Al

[n2doc]

MONTGOMERY, Alabama --- The League of the South has put up a billboard on Interstate 85 near downtown Montgomery with a one word message: Secede.

The league, which has called for secession since its founding 20 years ago and has been labeled as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, has information about its new billboard campaign on its website:

"The League of the South has a message all freedom-loving Southerners ought to hear. It is the message of Southern independence from a sinking, corrupt, and destructive government in Washington, DC."

Michael Hill, president of the league, said the billboard is the second of the campaign. Another 'Secede' billboard was posted in Tallahassee, Fla. And a third is planned for Atlanta this summer, Hill said.

1. One word for this group and its members, IDIOTS.

But on the other hand if we could successfully secede this group then it would be Democrats in every office.

[MADem]

2. OMG.....they used a DICTIONARY!!!!!!!!!

They're .... LEARNING!!!!!!!!

[awoke_in_2003]

20. I know it is shocking...

they spelled it correctly.

[RainDog]

3. at least they can use spell check

but is it "consitutional?"

[malaise]

36. DUzy

[MohRokTah]

4. Traitors all. eom

[scarletwoman]

5. Well, if that's what they want, then the first thing to do is tear up I-85.

It's a FEDERAL highway, after all.

[cordelia]

10. Good point.

And one I will keep in mind if they try that shit - and they will - in Atlanta.

Thanks!

[scarletwoman]

11. Good luck!

I live in Minnesota, no secessionists here. Although we do currently prefer to distance ourselves from our neighbor, Wisconsin.

[malaise]

37. Do you think they know that?

If they had a clue about how much they take rather than give to the Federal government, they'd crawl back into their holes of ignorance.

[AlinPA]

6. AL+FL+GA =54 (red) electoral votes. Hmmmm.

[n2doc]

8. Don't include Georgia in there, we are going to go blue

Governor Carter, Senator Nunn. I can feel it. The state is slowly coming out of its fox-induced idiocy.

[cordelia]

9. I hope, hope, hope you're right.

That bastard governor Deal seems to be losing grounds on the republican side, too.

[hlthe2b]

14. I hope you are right, but I heard Nunn wasn't doing too well..

Got any recent polling you can share?

[n2doc]

15. You heard incorrectly

35. You do realize that FL (unlike GA and AL) went blue in the last two elections, don't you? n/t

[Boomerproud]

7. It worked so well for them the first time.

Fiddleedee, dern tootin' I'm a rebel!!!

[awoke_in_2003]

21. They seem to have forgotten about...

Sherman's little march.

[treestar]

26. And it would be next to impossible to win this time

They can only try to make it my some agreement of the rest of the US. And they would have too many people in those states who don't want to do it. They should take a vote and see how the majority in these states really thinks.

[davidn3600]

31. Actually some say a civil war today would be quite devastating...

...it would pretty much completely devastate our economy. And the Federal government could end up in default on it's international financial obligations sending the dollar into a tailspin. It's not about who has more guns or who can invade and capture land. It's about instability. Many investors (and nations) all over the planet have their money invested in America. If instability occurs, those investors all pull their money out...Wall Street and our banks will collapse. Our currency loses value.

So it would be ugly for ALL of us.

Keep this in mind though...we are not going to last forever. America has become somewhat of an "empire" in historical terms and empires have a tenancy to eat themselves alive.

[treestar]

34. I think probably a huge majority of Alabama

Is not really up for it. A majority may be outright against it. They know they have it good as a US state and they don't want to interrupt their lives to the extent it would. Even the ones who say they want to secede wouldn't really fight for it in reality. It's just a wing nut fantasy.

[Cartoonist]

12. Look in the mirror

Southern independence from a sinking, corrupt, and destructive government in Washington, DC.
-

So who sent all those corrupt and destructive republicans to Washington D.C.?

[Louisiana1976]

13. +1 million

[hobbit709]

16. Those who fail to heed the lessons of history....

[gratuitous]

17. So, secede boys

Leave that state you're in, though. The United States won it fair and square. But you're welcome to leave the country with whatever possessions you have. You won't be missed.

[alp227]

18. LOL, I wish so too, but "SECEDE" is the manifesto of the cowardly armchair soldier.

A lot of the phony toughies who loooooove the South to rise again would rather sit around and post such messages on Stormfront or Free Republic but wouldn't go out his door to fight for the cause on the ground.

[flying rabbit]

32. Just you wait - Operation American Spring is gonna prove you wrong!1!1!11!1

Wait... Oh, well. You win.

[Enthusiast]

19. Real nice.

[trof]

22. Aw crap. We tried this 150 yeqrs ago.

It ended badly for us.

To paraphrase H.L. Mencken: Nobody ever went broke betting on the ignorance of people in Alabama.

I was born and raised here.
I moved back after 25 years away.
I love my home state, but the politics are hellish.

There is no Democratic party here now.
They are in total retreat.
Internal squabbles.

We elected a state supreme court chief justice who was turned out of office a few years ago for violating federal statutes.
The 10 commandments thing.

Our governor, a physician, has refused the ACA in spite of his supposed Hippocratic Oath.

Every repug running for office in this state runs against the nigger in the White House.
Yes, I wrote the damnable word, but it sure works for the voters here.

We're fucked.
Welcome to Alabama.

23. Be my guests, "ladies and gentlemen"

[Wounded Bear]

25. Yeah.....it worked so well last time...

[Wounded Bear]

27. But be sure you wait for the good weather...

[cheapdate]

28. These asshats came to my hometown (Murfreesboro, TN)

last summer. They got a permit from the city to hold a rally. Our counter rally outnumbered them at least two-to-one. They looked f%$king ridiculous in their "cowboy" hats and bolo ties. They were pale and greasy and positively creepy. These cowards asked the police several times to make us move back. We were challenging them and mocking them as well.

They're complete clowns -- out of touch with reality.

[Botany]

29. All right mother f****rs go but do not get on any Interstate or US Highway

like US 23 from the KY OH border to southern Georgia



and please don't use any of our national weather system radars or
satellites.

[Peregrine Took]

30. GO! n/t

[SummerSnow]

33. Why don't they just leave the country on the KKK Kruise Line

[Exposethefrauds]

38. Yes please do it NOW stop threating to do it just do it!

Come on all you Southern Secessionists rise up with arms and do it!

Don’t worry nobody will give a crap this time around the majority will say ‘Good Riddance”.

[MineralMan]

39. Could we start a fund to buy one-way tickets to Somalia or Liberia

for these folks? Instead of seceding, they could just move.

That's my recommendation. They'd love it in those countries. No laws. No rules. Not much government to speak of.
