Well well, aren't the rednecks feeling their oats with all this "We lost the election because our ideas suck and so we're going to leave the union" jibber jabber?

On the one hand, it would be tempting to let you treasonous slouches go.

On the other hand, my great great grandfather proudly served in the Union Army the last time Redneckistan decided to throw a hissy fit and leave the United States.

Wow, dude, wow. I'm all annoyed at the stupid rhetoric (especially since none of them have the conviction to back it up--which is a good thing in this case), but the South had genuine protests against the North leading up to the civil war and the way Jefferson structured the constitution, states were the superior body to the federal government and did have the right to leave the union.

Our current form of government is based on two things, the constitution and union winning the war.

So if they were serious and not just trying to create an astroturf movement, the reason they couldn't secede isn't because they lack the constitutional right to do so, it's because they already lost. This is the union's house.

Amen.

It's the house that Abraham Lincoln built.
