First to Secede?

[Dieseler]

I'm rooting for Washington D.C to secede first but if somehow Illinois decided to go first, then I would be ok with that as well.

This past Monday, the Arizona State Senate voted 18-11 to concur with the House and approve the Health Care Freedom Act (HCR2014). This will put a proposal on the 2010 ballot which would constitutionally override any law, rule or regulation that requires individuals or employers to participate in any particular health care system.

Five other states — Indiana, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota and Wyoming — are considering similar initiatives for their 2010 ballots.

I like the progress that is being made. Hopefully they will cross the Rubicon soon.

Texas? ha, that's a laugh. Gov. Perry must have fooled
a lot of people with his pontifications!

Perry won't be governor forever. An uprising could easily lead to a new governor (by whatever method...), which could lead to any number of interesting possibilities. If Texas leaves, any other state that wanted to leave could, as Texas has the military (and nukes!) to defend any other state that wants to leave.

The state of Superior.
But not till the crash and society descends into chaos.

Or Jefferson State?

Remember where Lockheed Martin is based. hint hint.

 

[Captain Bryan]

I don't think it will be a state.
I think it will be a County, or City, or just an area. At first.
While this is funny, I see it working like the way this town did it.

If SC were to secede I fear it would end up a Baptist-Taliban state with 'God's Law' becoming the law of the land, at which point I'd be hightailing it to GA or TN.

VT and NH are possibilities, but long term I see most of New England (not CT) breaking off and forming an economic alliance. The 5 states together would complement each other well in regards to resources and becoming self-sustaining in the event of no trade with the remaining states. There was a 'Pine Tree' secession movement back in the 90's that was working towards this and they had a fair amount of supporting data.

First to go? Not sure, but once one leaves many more will follow quickly.

You mean you don't have any God fearing atheist in South Carolina?

Tennessee has more religious nutcases than South Carolina. That's like moving from Iraq to Iran to get away from Muslims.

SC is cold enuf! I too have thought about making the trip up there. What parts you from anyways?

Myrtle Beach, in Horry county by the ocean, the best part of SC! But right now I'm stuck at this lame place Chattanooga in Tenessee because I got talked into going to college here. But once the semester ends I'm transferring back to Coastal Carolina University and getting back to the good old beach lol!

I guess you're from South Carolina too then?

Haha yeah you're probably right.

But yumyum is right, TN is much worse than SC for religion. I have noticed that since I'm living in TN now.

Still though, I think South Carolina would produce a government a million times better than the federal government.... even if Pat Robertson or Billy Graham were automatically the president lol.

When the dollar completely collapses and the feds arent paying out ssi or welfare.....it really won't matter who secedes first.

What will the seceding state do for money?

What will the seceding state do when China comes knocking?

Who will control all our nukes?

Um why not just handle their own money? If they do it right their economy will recover.

What happens when China comes knocking? Trade? Or do you mean war? I'm not sure where you are going with that.

The nukes would be a chaotic situation probably. My guess is that the federal government would try to secure those and keep control of them, but if people in the state government were smart they may be able to prevent that if there are nukes in their state.

 

[Bucjason]

Texas of course...

Much is unsure. I suspect that the Globalists will take off the gloves. There will be attempts to restore "order", and the Constitution will not be a consideration.
Security forces will likely have Blue helmets.
All speculation till TSHTF.

To the European Union.

Yes but you would have to create order somehow...all while the Feds will be giving a LOT of grief and a lot of assasinations for sure.

And you will have to introduce a new monetary system for your state and convice the people that it's stable and valuable! Thats VERY difficult. What would you back it with anyway?

China will come knocking when enough time goes by and no one from "America" is paying back that massive debt. Stealing from the new world superpower would not be prudent.

Yeah, I'm forseeing a lot of blue helmets too. Then red ones.

Well back when they were colonies, I think New Hampshire was one of the more statist states. Rhode Island and Connecticut were the most libertarian. But that has obviously changed, lol.

I disagree. It was New Hampshire that insisted that there be a Bill of Rights added to the Constitution and they also wanted an Amendment added to the Federal Government forbidding standing armies.
