Abraham Lincoln saw that if the South had been allowed to secede it would have become a proxy to the foreign powers in Europe. Whose to say if the East seceded from the West the West coast becomes a proxy to China, or the East Coast becomes a proxy to Russia? So, where would that leave the Central United States land locked without a seaport? F-king anarchist are not patriots, but a bunch of cry babies trying to flip the apple cart. If any state secedes it is not only the end of this country but we will get invaded and occupied by a foreign power. [color=red]People need to stick it through and keep this country United[/color].

Original Message
I get a weird feeling these secession petitions are going to spark civil unrest.
I just have a bad a feeling about this, certainly since only 24k people are needed to sign it to get an official response.
That doesn't account for the entirety of the state, and what about the people that
haven't even heard
about these petitions for their very own states? This is a big deal, a state leaving the Union.
What about the people that
do
want to secede? As opposed to those that don't?
