Georgia too. http://www.americablog.com/2009/04/georg...ecede.html
The right wing has gone completely insane in the past few months... it's like they lost an election and are suddenly having to deal with being out of power or something... they aren't taking it well.
(Oh, and on the other hand, Obama's defense of illegal spying, refusal to investigate or punish anyone for doing it, and support for continuing the programs is utterly despicable, just as it was under Bush. Getting rid of this kind of thing is part of why we elected him, not CONTINUING it! It doesn't matter if he's using it against left or right, it's wrong.)
But really... the secession, militant threats, statements that Americans should rise up and "take back" their country from the horrible people who stole it... it's bizarre really. You know, we have elections. You lost. Wishing it away doesn't change that -- see "Bush v. Gore, 2000/2001", just the other way around. Except with a lot more hate and anger, because the right wing in America always outdoes the left on that by far. (If America had a strong far left that might be different, but last I checked, the American Communist Party, if there is one, isn't doing so well. :))
