Teabaggers: "We hate that Obama is turnin' America into a Third World country, so we're gonna go start our own!"

Sounds legit.

Someone pointed out that another big problem with these petitions is that they can be started and signed by people who don't even live in the state mentioned in the petition.  Not only that, but since you can probably sign more than one petition at once, it really gives skewed, inaccurate information about how many people in what state actually want secession.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

There are some problems. Insurance, for example, is a regulated industry. If California were to secede, they would not be able to sell insurance in America without getting that status bump that allows international companies to sell in the US. Right there, that would hurt them. Real estate would take a hit, too. Unless they have some pretty lax laws in California about land being owned by foreigners. Once the borders you cross become federal instead of state, things change. And I'd be willing to bet that that 12% government would fall more than slightly. And so on.

*GASP* Not only is she inciting insurrection, now that rebel is already making threats against U.S. Citizens! Quick we must make a "All those who were deported due to 'Deport Everyone That Signed A Petition To Withdraw Their State From The United States Of America' petition must be added on a terrorist list and be banned from entering USA" petition.

You know, I just had a thought - what would happen if we DID send a bunch of right-wing kooks to Guantanamo? Consider that the bulk of the current inmates are hardline Muslims... that could get messy.
