Why is Louisiana threatening to secede because of a fair election? Face it people, you are the ones being extreme here.
No, they were not. Or the Articles of Confederation never would have been fully titled "Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union" nor would the Northwest Ordinance in both iterations say that states join in perpetuity, when you join, you stay forever.
Does everybody see just how rabid and insane the posts from our liberal "friends" are getting? This is the true face of the modern lib. Do as I say.....or else. If we even survive the next four years, it's gonna get very ugly. I for one am looking forward to casting off the chains of oppression. Keep it up libs, you'll reap what you sow.
Hmm...so threatening to throw the nation into another civil war is...what you consider...civil? And you people wonder why you lost the election.
Do you think all the wealthy left Europe over the last 60 years? You are so deluded! The wealthy are not stupid. They really do know that their wealth depends on the middle class and even the poor being able to support economic growth, and for that they need money, and if a meagre help from the government can help to keep the products flowing out of the warehouse, they know they benefit from that as much as the poor! What is always surprising to me, is that the wealthy do not get sick that a big chunk of their taxes goes to worthless wars that make NO ONE but the war contractors rich, instead of their tax dollars going for INFRSTRUCTURE developments that would support their ability to be more competitive with countries like Germany who does use the higher tax money collected from their citizens to assure a good life and good safety net for ALL, AND great, forward infrastructure and alternate energy developments instead of a war machine!
We don't wonder, we know. Are you saying the libs on this board by and large have been gracious winners? If anything, you guys are threatening a civil war. You won by a small margin, most tea party candidates retained their seats, and yet your side is planning to govern as if you had a mandate.
Not at all, no one seriously thinks that any state will secede. But its a way of showing our frustration with an incompetent and intrusive federal govt, just the thing that the founders were most worried about. But I ask again, why do liberals always revert to crude name calling and insulting rhetoric? Is it because they know that they will always lose a civil debate based on facts?
obama won the election because we have a biased media and an ignorant (not stupid, ignorant) population.
Why? Should they have to be? IIRC it was Republicans saying this election was going to be a referendum on Obama.
it should have been a referendum on obama, but the media made it a racial and class election. its funny, but white single women elected obama----for abortion on demand and free contraceptives-------and you claim we are not in a sick society?
No, you don't have to do anything. Why would you want to get along? This election should have been a referendum on Obama. Hard to believe such a large segment of the population is actually that (*)(*)(*)(*)ing stupid. If indeed they are.
So you forgot all of the republicans calling for a mandate to stone wall anything put forth by democrats? So you selectively ignore the fact that the republicans talking points are already saying the reps holding the house is a mandate to stone wall anything democrats put forth? So you are selectively ignoring the house republican majority threatening derail the economy (for the second time) by allowing tax cuts to expire? So you are selectively ignoring the house republicans attempting to use economic blackmail to force tax cuts for the riches one percent? No certainly the there have been some smug liberals on the board rubbing this victory in. But for the past two years I have seen republicans chanting death to the US if Obama won a second term. And you know what...he won a second term. Now lets see if they carry through, which is exactly what its stacking up to look like.
So I guess that would mean that folks like yourself and Rajun Cajun that voted for good ole Mitt are the smart folks in America.
Good morning secessionists! Just dropped in to ask how much longer we must endure your ignorance, your blood sucking, your hostility towards science and social progress, your bible thumping, before you implement a plan. Do you people even have a plan, a time table we can count on? Please advise, i would like to help in your quest to become a backward third world nation of corpulent lardassess. http://health.usnews.com/health-news/articles/2012/08/16/most-and-least-obese-us-states
Leme see if i have this right: some angry southerner starts a thread about a backwater state circulating a petition to secede, northerners agree it's time to part company, and from that you glean libs want civil war? it's not enough the the south's mooching mentality is driving the country bankrupt, now you want us to light the fuze you've been talking about since you lost the civil war? Go, just go.
How will the Northeast get energy independence without West Virginia's geothermal pockets? Get it all the way from Colorado?
No, it has more to do with the fact that Republicans went apecrap on the rape comments, acting like rape babies are a gift from God and that women's reproductive functions can magically stop impregnation from rape, and that no women die from medical complications due to pregnancy because we're so medically advanced (and that's why abortion should be illegal). State legislators compared us to breeding cows and tried to pass laws that prevent D&C even in the case of ectopic pregnancy or a miscarriage. (If D&C is not performed in these cases, a woman can literally rot from the inside out.) Abortion and contraception wasn't even on the radar of women in swing states until the Fluke incident, and was solidified with the Akin and Mourdock comments. I don't get how Republicans think they can win votes by talking down to women and pretending they know best for us, even in opposition to established medical facts. We're not stupid.
I certainly won't be party to a civil war to keep you in. Might I suggest some of the Western land regarded by our forefathers as not quite good enough even for Indians and then we can pass a removal act and you can wander off on your own journey of tears to a country worthy of you.
