My God, its more than just the Murch brothers and they're dear old tax-evading dad? :shock: Still, I laugh at them. In fact, since I have access to some of the people who are undoubtedly behind this, I shall go laugh in their faces. :D

Already a dozen people are actively working on the project, and some 1,500 e-mails of support have been received.
:lol:
Well, this is obviously a very serious, well supported and thought out movement. :D
I'm certain South Carolina welcomes being the focus point of secession, again.

Yeah, this is what, the third time? How many times will they have to be smacked down before they learn that it isn't going to work? :lol:

I'm sorry, but I don't think two dozen kooks and and a hundred rednecks are enough to get a state to suceed from the union. Perhaps they could simply all move to one of the great Christian nations of Africa and set up camp there.

we can always deport them to the iraq. i'm sure they'd find the fundamentalist mindset a nice change of pace.

Well, you can't deport citizens, so:

1. Say 'sure', we'll give you sovereigty. You just have to revoke your American citizenship.

2. One everyone does that, say "Oops, we lied. Suck my enormous penis.". Send in the troops, restore American rule.

3. Deport all who supported the unlawful insurrection, as they aren't Amreican citizens. Have fun in Iraq!

That wouldn't work; you can only deport them to their home country, which would revert back to the United States since they would have become citizens of South Carolina.

And for those of you at FROG, trap set. News & Current Events forum. I'll need some other people to watch for any bears that may stick their paws in this one; I'm going to be out of the country and away from computers for a couple weeks.

Wow, because the secession plan worked so well last time. :lol:

It's hard to imagine any of them could be so deluded as to think that'll work. I mean really, the Civil War, anyone remember that? And yes, you did lose it.

Well, at least they'll have no reason to shove their beliefs down the throats of the rest of America if they have their own country. But do they seriously think that they will get the support form the people in the state to do so, and that it won't be met with swift military force?

Why not just say yes, and give them some little idland in the middle of the Pacific? If they manage to survive, good at them; we can always bomb them off the face of the earth if need be anyway. :twisted:

And yes, that last part was a joke. :) The rest, on the other hand...meh, why not? :D

:shock:

So 12 thousand people migrating to South Carolina will be enough to push the population over the edge and split from the union, huh?

The US has devolved from a 'Christian Republic' to a 'Pagan Democracy', huh?

These asshats are to stupid to run a country club let alone a country. But I guess they'll depend on God to do that too. :wink:

I don't see a problem with letting them get out of the US. Actually, I'd support it. We don't like them, they don't like us, let them leave and then rot to oblivion if that's what they'd prefer.

It would be so incredibly cool if upon their secession Congress issued a resolution stating "REVOLUTION DENIED. PERMISSION TO EXIST REVOKED>"

Maybe one of those Civil War recreationist groups can give these guys a quick reminder of what happens when you try to secede.

I think what they are counting on is that once their grand crusade gets started, the people of S. Carolina will rise righteous up and join them against the queers.
