Well if they secede. I don't want any of them trying to sneak across the border and take our jobs. Stay in your little part of the world and don't bother the rest of us tax paying true AMERICANS!!!! _______________

What a bunch of controlling crybabies. "Wah wah, we who are the fewer didn't get our way so we are going to throw a tantrum. Wah Wah" I toughed it through the Bush years, never threatened to leave if Bush was re-elected, and didn't petition to secede. This is part of what being in a representative democracy works. Some of those states, I wouldn't mind letting go.. bwahaha....

The irony? They'll hate where they go, illegally re-enter the United States, and PRAY for immigration reform.

Let's assume secession won't work. (it won't). Then the next option is all these people renounce their citizenship and leave.The irony? They'll hate where they go, illegally re-enter the United States, and PRAY for immigration reform.

Never in my life have I seen such a gigantic collection of sore losers. Never!!! Well, as far as I'm concerned, if these good-for-nothing losers want to seceed, let them. Let them move to another country and good riddance. Oh yes, and by the way, losers, no more federal dollars for you. ____________

Wow...talk about sore losers...You signed up to leave...OK...no more Fed Taxes great, but also no more Soc Sec. checks, medicare, any type of fed aid for infrastucture, housing or health care, etc..... What will you do when you eventually elect a person of color to lead your country ? ..............
Why would you only use those two links for your news source? The Huffington Post has been terribly biased for quite sometime now, just like Fox news. The other source has a high degree of hate for white people, I'm not sure if white people are allowed to call any other race racist, but I'll say it for them, it is a rather racist site.
ReplyDeleteBeing a student you should have researched the story better and made the case for both sides without opinion and let your readers make their own decisions. This is what jounalists have been missing lately. Real reporting without opinions and agendas.
30 states, red and blue including California, NY, Colorado, and Ohio,are not asking just to leave, they are asking for real change, and if it takes something as drastic as this, so be it. The signatures are rising.
It has nothing to do with our presidents skin color, as the ignorant will point their fingers that way, it has everything to do with the lack of trust and moral character that many Americans feel for their federal government. (Yes, people of ALL colors are signing and wanting a change to the economic disasters happening now and coming down the pipeline).
States have the right to make changes, and yes, people have the right to sign petitions, these rights are protected under OUR CONSTITUTION.
Something is terribly wrong in our country, and if people started paying attention instead of making this into a race war, they would see that it is not our president that is at fault, but the lack of principles that his cabinet is promoting. They mean to strip the American people of rights, Democrates, Republicans, Conservatives, Liberals alike.
There will only be a BIG BROTHER GOVENMENT akin to old USSR or New CHINA.
Who is going to tell me that we are doing fantastic as a nation right now, and everything is wonderful? Nothing needs to change?
As for the petition to strip the rights from those that are asking for changes to be made within the political powerhouse, you people are really sadly confused. I will not ask you to be silent, even if I disagree with you, for it is your American right to speak your mind. Show the same respect for others.
WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT, WE ARE THE PEOPLE, THEY work for us. It is not the other way around. Sometimes THEY need to be humbled in their greedy quest for all mighty power over the people they are supposed to be serving. In the end it is the people who can make changes, we should NEVER let them make it for us.
