THE SOUTH SHALL RISE AGAIN!!!

[SlowwHand]

They have rain forests in British Columbia? I did not know that.

Also the South has already risen again. All the industry and jobs moving there from the Midwest.

Exactly, as soon as Northerners started moving south the south started to suck less. The least affected areas (Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana...) are still ****holes.

I can believe Texans lost at the Alamo when outnumbered eight-to-one. That's just incompetence.

Shut up. They had Davy Crockett. How could they lose?

To be fair, I was considering moving to Somalia if Romney won to get away from his loose gun laws and deconstruction of the federal government.

Davy Crockett

I find it amusing that, of the 20 states listed in the OP, 30% (CO, FL, MI, NJ, NY, OR) gave their electoral and popular votes to Obama.

Not all rain forests are tropical rain forests. Alaska has huge rain forests, especially in the panhandle.

The more you know...

I've heard it said that knowing is approximately 50% of the battle.

This was overdue, they would be so much better off on their own. Ban abortions, ban gay marriage, keep creationism and stop socialism - glorious future awaits.

I don't plan on returning to the US for at least another 4 years

White House may respond to Texas secession petition

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/white-house-may-respond-texas-secession-petition-212328772--election.html

Looks like the Obama administration may have to respond to a petition seeking the green light for Texas to secede from the United States—one of 20 such requests filed on the official White House website since Election Day.
At the time of the writing of this post, the Texas secession petition had garnered 25,318 signatures—above the White House's self-imposed rules for requiring a reply.
(A "Recount the election!" petition filed Nov. 10 had 16,238 signatures. "Regulate Internet Pornography"? Not a big winner. It was filed Nov. 4 and had only 501 signatures.)
The White House may opt out of replying. Under its own rules, "To avoid the appearance of improper influence, the White House may decline to address certain procurement, law enforcement, adjudicatory, or similar matters properly within the jurisdiction of federal departments or agencies, federal courts, or state and local government in its response to a petition."
Other secession petitions include requests for Arkansas, South Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee, Michigan, Colorado, Oregon, New Jersey, North Dakota, Montana, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama and New York. (Spoiler alert: No, the White House won't approve secession.)
Here's the text of the Texas petition:
The U.S. continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government's neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the U.S. suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect its citizens' standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.

The only major problem I see is securing the border.
