Petition for Secession

[n_huffhines]

Right now I'd say its governor and that one Sheriff they got are doing a pretty good job of trashing the joint all on their lonesome.

That's only what uneducated and unsophisticated people say.

 

[n_huffhines]

Hmm, the citizens must approve, he was re-elected

SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO WINS REELECTION IN ARIZONA

LMAO, Paul Penzone (Arpaio's opponent) was handing out water during an art fair downtown. Arpaio's officers shut them down. I guess giving water to thirsty people is illegal without a food handler's permit.

Arizonans turn to Arpaio because the federal government does not enforce immigration law, or protect the border. I'm not saying they are right or wrong, I'm just saying the federal government does not represent their interests.

Sounds awesome. If you want to cut off your nose to spite your face, feel free.

Nobody would invade Texas, except for maybe the US.

both states have natural resources and ports allowing them to import/export by sea. i think Texas also has the most oil refineries in the country.

Yeah, we'll be taking those back.

Along with bases, infrastructure, computers, hospitals, universities, anything built with federal funds.

Minus the tax revenue taken from Texans....I'm thinking the US comes out in the negative on that one.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Actually it doesn't. The constitution doesn't mention secession, and we all know by the 10th amendment rights not explicitly delegated in the constitution are to remain with the states. Ipso facto, the states are the ones who decide if they can secede or not.

^This

It's amazing how many people that post here and claim things to either be in the Constitution or not there have never read the Constitution. However, for a state to succeed at seceding, you would have to have one hell of an army.

Boy, when LG sees someone suggesting something that doesn't have to do with the socialist collective, he jumps in with both feet. Out today in all of his flaming liberal splendor I see.

LG, I don't know what the we **** is because I do believe that the military would be on "our" side in this one. Barry would probably last a day. We might let you live on reservations for liberals in the desert somewhere, while WE took back the U.S. from the takers. You are either a maker or a taker, which are you? I can answer for you, you are a leech, thereby, you are a taker.

 

[theutvolunteers]

I do not know one Texan that wants to secede. Probably those hill jacks in East TX.

 

[TruthIsOutThere]

Bingo! Planting the seed in your head is where it all begins. I hope it grows to where this country can be taken back from the liberal herd that have taken her down the wrong path, and turn toward green pastures of what this country was founded on.

Yes - slavery and rule by man!

If Alaska or Texas wanted out, I say let 'em. Build a fence to keep them out of the USA. No money for schools. No military protection or treaties for joint defense. Tax the crap out of any imports or exports with them. Make any of their citizens who want to come into the US get passports and carefully monitor them to make sure they don't overstay their visas. Charge them for cable services, access to the internet, and of course we have shovel ready jobs building the fences and walls to keep them out of here.

Lol, you're all for fences and bringing down the hammer on Alaska and Texas but not Mexico.

Slavery only became a crucial issue because of the federal government. Without the Fugitive Slave Act, slavery was doomed. The federal government institutionalized slavery. Half the states were against slavery. Half the states were for it. The federal government's laws supported slavery.

It's very interesting that every time states rights are mentioned the narrative immediately becomes about the states wanting to go back to slavery, as if the federal government wasn't more guilty than the states collectively.

Very good point.

Tennessee is nearly at 25k signees. Great way to get on another watch list, it's about time to draw you're line in the sand

I've been wanting it for years. Have been speaking to our state representatives when I could. Our enemies are not in China or Russia.....they are in Washington.

India has engineers and does CAD drafting by email for real cheap now while companies sell out their own countrymen to save a dollar...hell the plans for renovations at the Y12 nuclear plutonium storage reserve here in TN are probably on some cubicle desk in India with coffee spilled on them. Boeing is starting to build planes in China...ask the 60000 laid off workers in Seattle. HP computers and customer service are now in Malaysia and India...there's a long list.

Pretty soon we'll be so dumb we won't know how to make steel anymore...the miners and skilled workers who would have passed that knowledge on to the next generation will all be gone. God help us if we had to go to war and actually build something to defend ourselves.

So I guess its safe to say you would support policies like these regarding Mexico?

Alaska would drill ANWR and sell to China. Texas could always get it's oil from Mexico if it could supply enough for it's own demand.

Damn, once society collapses this guy is going straight up onto his roof and says he is going to start shooting people.
See at 3:24 - :machgun:

I guess the Xbox won't work anymore so he assumes its time to bring GTA IV to the real world.

Arkansas is doing same thing. 25k needed to make it so population can vote on it.

Laughed when local news said arkansas couldn't leave the union. Per constitution!!

Started to call and explain to them but I knew it wouldn't do any good.

Just an opinion, but if you look at the electoral map from the election it resembles one from 1860. Back then the issue was slavery shrouded in States rights. Today it is personal and States right from the ever growing reach of a government that no longer follows the Constitution. Obamacare will bankrupt the country. The US will be a third world socialist state by 2016.
