I have pondered this idea a fair bit but secession...the ills that plague this country are great, I'll give you that but outright secession, no. Rather we only have a few states whose illness threatens us or rather the mentality that they keep. Surely not all of those who reside in those states are same-wise afflicted but those who are those who are in power.
Let's be honest, California needs redivision into three different states, allowing the good rural folk to have their own, left the city folk whom embrace lesser standards of capitalism(or embrace destructive socialism) and morality (I don't mean San Fran, the gays really cleaned it up and made it nice last I saw of it, could do with more of them in Orange County Florida), and let those whom are either refugees of Mexico or outright seekers of citizenship to have their own, but no we should not let any piece of America go. Illinois's citizens need to get together and rewrite their state constitution to take the singurlarly concentrated powers of statehood away from Chicago's provincial domination, I believe a good many folks of Illinois are in the middle of some such effort. Now D.C., what good can be said is so gravely countered almost biblically in proportion to that which can be said to be ill. Detroit, well another complaint. New Orleans, give Lousiana a festering sore upoin its great identity as a state.
As there has been an explosion of weakness, socialist embrace, and Pro-European(unfortunately not like Switzerland or Finnland in some respects) that critically stains this nation, secession is not the answer, rather we must continue (those of us who are patriots) to push for a return to true democracy within the embrace of a Republic, work to instill in a people a sense of pride in hardwork and the effort to bette one's self be it mentally, academically, spiritually what have you, and work to make it understood to our politicians that they bow to us and not us who bow to them, besides I'm pretty sure I could kick the living crud out of a few of them, all those guns they have behind them just means their weak and lowly, for once what fear a Roman Senator had to walk alone without guard in the streets of his people.
Alas my words are only pretty ones I'm sure, the sickness still spread and we shall see what the future holds. I'm an American, I pay my loyalties and respects to the United States and the Constitution so long as their is still the Bill of Rights. Any country without the Bill of Rights is not an American country and to them I owe no loyalty, no respect. Just as I would not stand to have China decide my rights, to others I would no greater observation and tolerance. As I see it, the worst that can happen is I get to heaven a little sooner or if I get lucky I get to Valhalla where there is Beer, willing and wanting tall gorgeous blondes, and plenty of fighting to be had. But that's just me. LOL
