Do not consecutively reply to a topic - If you are within the alloted timespan for editing a message that no one has replied to and you think of something to add, EDIT the message. DO NOT REPLY AGAIN. Constant abuse of this will not be tolerated.

that's fine.

when they get hit by katrina 2.0 FEMA won't give them jack shit. if US citizens feel so strongly opposed to their leadership, then they can STFU and GTFO instead of crying about it every day.

11/10/2012 12:11:32 PM

LA doesn't have the economic power to survive a secession. They're up there as one of the most dependent states on Federal spending.

11/10/2012 12:12:33 PM

I do think if that is what is wanted they should be heard for sure. I just can't believe these people lived through Bush II and didn't do this any sooner than now. Come on.

11/10/2012 12:13:35 PM

I still think we should give the blacks Louisiana as reparations and wash our hands of that shithole

if we couldn't secede in 1860, then they damn sure can't today, as much as no one would miss them

11/10/2012 12:17:25 PM

It's probably just a group of butthurt republicans that don't realize in a democracy you don't just secede every time the person you vote for isn't elected.

11/10/2012 12:44:14 PM

probably?

11/10/2012 12:50:04 PM

Do you have to be part of the state to sign it?

I mean, I'd be up for starting a campaign to get them to do it

11/10/2012 1:01:30 PM

I'd sign their petition

11/10/2012 1:18:42 PM

It would be awesome for this to happen.

Then we could invade and reclaim it lololololol

11/10/2012 1:20:36 PM

How long would it take the south to own slaves again if we let them do their own thing?

11/10/2012 1:22:55 PM

lol signed

11/10/2012 2:59:17 PM

Someone put the petition on reddit, I bet they get millions of signatures

11/10/2012 3:12:32 PM

I'll vote if they take Alabama and Mississippi with them

Good on them

Ron Paul’s presidential campaign today claimed victory in this weekend’s district caucuses in Louisiana, boldly predicting that the Texas congressman will be in control of the state’s delegation to the Republican National Convention.

The Paul campaign said the candidate won “four and a half of six congressional district caucuses, securing 111 of 150 — or 74 percent — of (the) delegates” allocated as part of Saturday’s district caucus process.



They said Ron Paul got 6% of the primary vote. Who believes that?



If anyone wants to see how the establishment treated the delegates in the Lousiana State convention, you can watch it here:

They broke the first chairman's hand while removing him from the floor by force.
They dislocated the second chairman's hip.
Finally the third chairman finished business.

11/10/2012 4:59:00 PM

That did not happen today, liar

Kinda what the Colonists did, though, right?

We didn't like the way they were running shit, so we said, ya know, we're done. We can run our own show here.


Now, Louisiana can't be self-sustaining. However, Louisiana and Texas... and a few other states following suit... then we have ourselves a story.

The question remains... are they "petition" serious, or are they "let's fight" serious. Because honestly people can be as angry as they want on the internet, until there are shots fired, it's all BS.


for the record, I do believe a 2nd civil war, or at least widespread rioting/insurrection, is inevitable. Maybe not anytime soon, but it's just the way things go on this planet.

Yes, secession is Constitutional if and only if both sides agree.

11/11/2012 11:43:51 AM

I'd sign... Hopefully they can secede... then if they fall off into the Atlantic or get hit by another Hurricane Katrina they won't get federal aid.

11/11/2012 12:17:37 PM

You act as if life can't sustain itself without federal aid.

11/11/2012 12:18:44 PM

Not in Louisiana.

11/11/2012 12:34:08 PM

I'm signing all of these

11/11/2012 12:43:32 PM

I hope you didn't make this... although I have a feeling you did.

We don't live in a democracy.

11/11/2012 2:23:48 PM

I'd be in favor of allowing the SEC footprint secede and form their own Christian Taliban nation.
