LOUISIANA TO OBAMA: We withdraw from the United States of America | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 9266723  United States11/10/2012 05:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm amused by the idea that Louisiana, a state of over 4 million, would withdraw based on a poll of 25,000 people, most of whom don't even LIVE in the state in question. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9266723 I don't know why not . They have allowed the president to be placed in office without an official honest election. I'm not going to get into an election argument because I doubt it would lead anywhere. Still, you seem smart, which means you should know how this will end. The Civil war set a precedent. NO state is allowed to leave the union. ever. Any potion will get the same response. |

I live down in southeast LA, Greater New Orleans area. This isn't even on any radars down here. You people rah rahing are so.... gullible. Someone builds a web site and floats some crap and so many of you believe it. You're too easy. Really. whitehouse.gov is, in fact, the website of the White House. you have to be a U.S. governmental entity to get a .gov domain. the petition was created 3 days ago. not surprising few people know about it yet. ding-a-ling The official site, yes, but anyone with an account can start a petition. This isn't coming from the governor, house, or senate. It's coming from Michael E, some redneck nobody from Slidell. The majority of the signatures aren't even from LA. so somebody didn't just "build a web site and float some crap". the petition is for the american people to petition the US government to "peacefully grant the state of..." nobody said it was people in a state doing it on their own behalf. |

Texas went from 363 to 633 signatures. that is a rate of 11,520 per day. they won't keep up that rate around the clock, but it is obvious they will both get their 25,000 in the next 29 days. Missouri went from 13 to 14. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 15676325 United States11/10/2012 06:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The fact that people from other states of the union signing this petition is a good thing. Because it shows other state citizens are ok with La leaving the union. They are telling the federal government to allow it on the behalf of their state. Quoting: TSWB21 Now talking of a legal secession. I don't believe there will ever be one. OR, that they support their thinking and wish their state would follow suit... |

The .gov built the site, and Michael E is floating some crap. The point I was making is that this is not pinworthy or newsworthy. Some on this thread seem to think that this is a serious effort by the people of LA to withdraw from the US. Hosea 2:2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts; 2:3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst. |

| Simple_Man User ID: 15977994 United States11/10/2012 06:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | this is an excellent Idea and the Citizens of the Louisiana and all the other prominant southern states have the right do petition to secede for their own benefit. Quoting: NewsUpdater The ideas is great, I am all for it, and would move down south if the secede because the United States is done financially, morally, and will crumble within 10 years. The Feds of course would move to smash the southern states militarily if they did this, but its well worth it. Freedom isnt free, and must be fought for to have. You either fight for your freedom, or sit down and shut up. Theres no in between. Fighting means actual fighting, not just mouthing off about it all the time. You ever been to war? I would prefer to not bring it to my front yard. Things get a bit different when it's your' child dead in the street. Remember "The Art of War" ???... If you cannot win, do not fight. Coward |
| Simple_Man User ID: 15977994 United States11/10/2012 06:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Please secede. We blue staters are really tired of the fucktard southerners dragging down our nation.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 22112761 United States11/10/2012 06:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ROFL!! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9204853 Don't be deluded. There is NO WAY IN HELL that this will gain any traction. Louisiana is one of the richest states when it comes to resources. With a decent amount of energy reserves, tremendous refining capabilities, a large percent of the Strategic Reserves stored here, access to the Gulf of Mexico, pipelines, the supertanker loop, a large regional Halliburton stronghold, control over the entry to the Mississippi River, large amounts of farm land, abundant fisheries, and a clean and abundant water supply (for now).... there is NO WAY that the fed would allow even the thought of succession to advance. They would kill every citizen in Louisiana to maintain control over the state's resources. The state's have become far too weak both financially and militarily to stand any chance. Any person advancing this will become a terrorist. What's a state that's resource-deficient? Can't really think of one. Although not a state...Washington DC. Many small states in the Northeast do not have the resources to survive and thrive on their own. I was referring to the fact that LA has VAST resources and s very strategic location. Every state has something to offer, LA just happens to have plenty of what is NEEDED. Louisiana would be a rich nation. Louisiana would have been a rich nation...big oil, big industry, all the buzzards exploit Louisiana's resources and take its riches OUT of the state. Removing its riches with no regard for complying with even the minimal health and safety regulations. It is one of the poorest states because it is constantly raped by the wealthy who take its treasures and leave the Louisiana citizens none of it. They rape Louisiana in the same hostile, greedy, vile way that ocommie is raping America. |

No longer would you owe 15 trillion in taxes, and another 3 trillion more per year to the North's federal government. Also, you would not need to bail out the 100 trillion in private debt incurred by Northern businesses and home mortgages. |

The first thing we would do would be to re-claim ALL of our oil & gas revenue from the Feds and lift the drilling moratorium that's killing our communities. This additional revenue would balance our budget. |
