Wink 18 states now. This is not even 1% of our population and is just a developing news story. Texas got its 25,000th signature about 2 hours ago. (32,379 @6:17 PM) that's over 16,000 signatures in less the ten hours. Personally I just think we live in very troubled times. And we may now know the reason the Mayan Calender stopped in 2012- !! lol

15 States Are Gathering Signatures On The Whitehouse's Own Web Site To Peacefully Secede From The Union Actually Robb, that's not true. There are no states petitioning the government to peacefully secede. None. Zippo. Zero. These are petitions started by individuals. People who just want to express their frustration that their guy lost the election in a fun and creative way. Nothing more.

Actually wiggler, since we have had to listen to the mainstream media defend liberalism in things like killing babies, homosexuality is wonderful, illegal aliens deserve our social security, etc., I think it's only fair that we get to have our say once and awhile. Even if it goes no where, at least a lot of people can get it off their chests. x2 I can expand that "etc for" ya too Paul

Muslims, illegals & union guys I put them all in the same sentence too. I also never figured why the unions would ever back anyone without a fight that is taking away union members jobs. Also Welfare before Obama was also never considered a career opportunity Many of them older Obama Admin EPA Regulations have also sent many jobs Overseas. Not Mittens !! http://reguations.gov website. In the past 90 days, it has posted 6,125 regulations and notices – an average of 68 a day. http://www.wnd.com/2012/11/obama-posts-68-new-regulations-per-day/?cat_orig=usThat many new regulations must mean they do want to run all business not just ours and probably will put many right into the ground. Meanwhile as of (10:15 pm) Texas 47,441 Signatures , Louisiana 23,279 & Florida 14,289 New States include New York 743, California 478, Nevada 2,846, Pennsylvania 3,899, Delaware 1754, Ohio 1,162

Man, there is a ton of things to pick out from this string of rants, but I'll just keep it simple.
I grew up in a democratic household, grandfather who was retired army major from WWII and Korea and he became town supervisor and held that position for 16 years before retiring. During that time he also ran a successful small business that was run by our family and tended the land for wildlife value and farming.
Growing up in the small town I did in upstate NY I saw migrant workers who were african american, their kids went to school with us seasonally, then they moved to Florida and parts of the SE each year to pick fruit as the seasons change.
By the time I was a teenager, we had Haitians and finally toward college in mid 90's we had nothing but hispanic migrant workers.
Now here is my illegal immigrant punchline, the folks who owned the largest widespread fruit farms and thousands and thousands of acres of agriculture, also employed the most illegals and were part of the republican party. I would not know this, except growing up in a small town with a grandfather active in politics, and friends, family, and the family of friends and family being close friends, you all know everyones business.
When the immigration car wheeled into the picking scene, you'd see folks jumping from 20 foot picking ladders and running through the orchard to escape.....not thinking they were packing green cards.
These republican farmers also received farm subsidies. Some of my best friends (still to this day) families would take annual vacations to hawaii during the winter, buy new pickups and yet if it was a poor year for fruit prices apples would remain on the tree because the govt. was going to pickup the tab.
I've seen the same thing happen out west here with the dairy industry and others, where I see hard working folks also working a system that works for them and their kin folk.
I chose the illegal immigration issue to illustrate not that only republicans seem to benefit, but that both parties have dirt on their hands when it comes to not only letting them in but not having a solution to fix the problem.
Being in my current state I have worked within spitting distance literally of the border, guess what? No fence? No wall?
Nope just repeated surveillance, manpower and sensors and other digital technology to help you find them. I've seen places in the desert by the border in Luna County NM (look it up) where the desert looks like a plane full of clothes exploded and rained them down all over the cactus and mesquite.
When I asked what the deal was, my fellow crew, who grew up in this area told me how this works, drug mules, women, men, children pack drugs into the state, and then to get the system refreshed, they are provided clean clothes (drug free) and sent to the nearest border patrolled area to be picked up, taken back across after a free meal and lodging and then the process begins again.
This system has been in place and hasn't changed under the last many presidents, both republican and democrat.
Drive through the El Paso area and look to the south off the interstate and see Juarez looking back at you in total squalor and it is no wonder why people try to get in.
Couple that with too many folks in our own country not wanting to do manual labor and......you guessed it, there is a need for these folks.
The jokes that "sure build a wall, who do you think will build it" are really sad but true.
I grew up laying brick, picking apples, doing manual labor and never thinking it was beneath me. It still isn't, but we have tons of folks from many generations, not just the new and young one, who think that tv, fame, singing, acting, or being lucky enough to invent something that instantly makes them rich is how we get it done now.
Do I want folks coming in illegally? No I don't!
Do I understand why they come? Yes I do and anyone of us would likely do the same if we were seeking a better life for our family.
Does this system need to be fixed? Yes it does but no one, not Obama, not Bush, not Clinton or GB Sr. has fixed it.
The most honest statement in this country that anyone including those on this forum should make, is that we each are in this life for our family, for our friends, our community maybe, and our country last.
If you are honest!
You may be sad if your neighbor gets burglarized or their house burns, but if your home experiences the same it matters far more as it should.
I believe that above all we will not succeed as a country or a community or as individuals until we start seeing things holistically and not just from the slanted view that each party may have, or that a particular interest group may have.
Growing up, back in 6th grade I can remember my buddies whose dads hunted (mine didn't, my mom and granddad taught me to hunt) telling me because of my grandfathers democratic party, their dads told them they were going to lose their right to hunt and own guns.
That would be around 1980 ish..... My shotgun is still in the closet, my new pistol took me about 10 minutes to buy at sportsmans warehouse in albuquerque. All of those friends living in many different states, still own their firearms and hunt.
Now I know the comeback to that is that the NRA and others have fought to keep this from happening and thats all fine and well, but my point is that this too shall pass, and before long the dems and others who didn't want a republican or didn't like Mitt will be having the same conversation and the same rants, just tweaked to those issues at the time.
So I understand it is everyones right to express their anger or ire, but the guy won, it happened, there is much to be gained by trying to move forward and little to gain by standing still.
Yes I am a naive, pie in the sky, hippie lovin, equal rights supporting, pro choice individual, so those on the other side, can fully discount everything I just said, but it doesn't make it false!
I favor a world where good folks work hard, get what they have coming to them. Be a good person and good things happen, that is truly the secret in life.
And it is what I live by.
Justin
