because that's how democracy works...fucking idiots

"As a result of Tuesday's election, Americans in 15 states have filed petitions to secede from the United States, Regina Conley reported at Red Alert Politics on Saturday.

So far, she says, residents in Louisiana, Texas, Kentucky, Colorado, New Jersey and ten other states, have filed petitions at the White House petition site requesting secession. A petition for New York to secede was file by "C R" of Grand Forks, North Dakota on Saturday."

No, it's real...sadly.

Am I understanding this correctly, someone from North Dakota filed a petition for NY to secede? That's pretty funny.

Is this atypical after an election?

Let's let the Confederacy be its own country again and refuse them foreign aid like they would do to others and not let them back into the union this time.

not really, they would leave looking for guys.....but we'd make them illegal aliens and put them into indentured servitude.

I don't think the petition web site was around for previous elections, which if it's an Obama initiative, makes the whole thing deliciously ironic.

Let's not. I like the weather in the south and don't want to move.

I think the Obama Admin did start the online petitioning thing. Takes 25K signatures if I'm correct...which, really, probably would not be that hard to get. He wouldn't approve it, of course, but still, it'd be amusing if it crossed his desk at some point.

as a response, i say the feds raze one city from every state petitioning

I was checking the Mitt Romney facebook page because it is great entertainment. Anyways on there was a petition going around for a recount of the election. With all the crazy theories that there is no way Obama could have won fairly, voter suppression by the deomcrats (lol), etc... It had over 35,000 signatures last I checked. Its ridiculous thats 35,000 people want to waste time and money because they don't like the outcome of something. Oh only 61,939,115 people disagree with you not a big discrepancy at all.

I don't know but it might be the wave of the future.

Doesn't Texas have a legal right to secede?

 

[EatLeadCommie]

Doesn't Texas have a legal right to secede?

No. It's a myth that most Texans believe. That and the whole dividing Texas into separate states thing.

Cool, thanks

I hadn't heard that one before, but here's the map:

I thought for sure one would have been shaped like a pickup truck.
