Republican Secession Confederate States of America

In the last few weeks Governors and legislators across America are passing legislation with no meat to it that is threatening secession from the Union that is the United States of America. It makes no sense to me as a moderate liberal but they are doing it in many right leaning political states.

President Andrew Jackson had a way to deal with Governors, Congressmen, and Senators talking about secession from the Union during his Presidency that demanded or threatened secession from the United States. Jackson, true to his take no prisoners mentality, sent a letter to the parties involved. It simply stated that he would hang anyone involved with treason against the United States government and the sovereignty of its Union.

Republican outbursts and calls for secession from the Union is more or less a tantrum from a political party that simply can not get its own act together. If you have better ideas on how to fix the economy then lets hear them! Tax cuts for the mega rich corporations hasn’t worked for eight years so what’s your next guess? Can tax cuts for one hundred plus million working people be good for the economy or is that just against everything the Republican party stands for? Wait a second, isn’t the Republican Party the ones that have no problem with any form of tax cut? Up is down and down is up and now nothing makes sense. Lefties in the political aisle are making right hand turns and the Righties in the opposing party are upset? I need a couple of Tylenol just trying to figure this out.

Over at Rasmussen they have this poll on the actual numbers of Texans that even want to leave the Union of the United States of America…

In Texas, 31% Say State Has Right to Secede From U.S., But 75% Opt To Stay
Friday, April 17, 2009

Thirty-one percent (31%) of Texas voters say that their state has the right to secede from the United States and form an independent country.

However, the latest Rasmussen Reports poll in the state finds that if the matter was put to a vote, it wouldn’t even be close. Three-fourths (75%) of Lone Star State voters would opt to remain in the United States. Only 18% would vote to secede, and seven percent (7%) are not sure what they'd choose. - Rasmussen

I’m not the President but I would think that Obama would want to keep the fifty states we currently have intact. President Obama needs to send a clear message to the Governors and legislators in the states declaring the need or desire to secede from the Union a clear message of intent. Treason will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

What this all comes down to is that the Republican Party is pissed that they do not have the gravy train to feed off of anymore. Military contracts that were no bid are drying up, defense spending is shifting into plow share spending, money is being diverted away from supporting big oil for green energy. If I were in their place then I would try to defend my fatted calf too. And yet the lack of common sense lives on in states thinking that secession is remotely even a good idea.

Don’t be confused with someone that is conservative in thought with someone trying to defend millions if not billions in business deals with the United States government. One is a legitimate political thought process and the other is just a rapist of the treasury. The regular man or woman on the street in the states that have passed no muscle or bone secession legislation really don’t know what secession means. When you get right down to it, its isolation and the majority of states passing it like Texas and Georgia and Oklahoma have the weakest taxation policy to hold their own if their dream came true of becoming and independent nation. Has anyone actually put into thought how many U.S. Government facilities are in these states alone? They would have to be moved. Does NASA being in Houston ring a bell for the people of Texas? Everyone in Texas pack up the house if you work for NASA and get ready to move to New Jersey or California.
