Kaiser7 33 Posted November 12, 2012 http://www.examiner.com/article/citizens-15-states-file-petitions-to-secede-from-united-states I'd heard of this, but it's really picking up it seems. I was surprised to see NJ on there, I wonder how many from NJGF signed it? XD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NicePants 58 Posted November 12, 2012 Yeah, that one's probably going nowhere. NJ has Obama in the seat of power, so it's not like they have any real reason for wanting to secede. I see that the Texas petition has quite a few signatures though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnp 45 Posted November 12, 2012 Does anyone else think we may see Obama get impeached before 4 years is up? I just have this feeling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deadeye74 5 Posted November 12, 2012 Does anyone else think we may see Obama get impeached before 4 years is up? I just have this feeling. With the way the media spins facts (or ignores them) it will be difficult for him to be impeached. The spin doctors will protect him, and I'm not talking about the rock band from the 90's!

The spin doctors will protect him, and I'm not talking about the rock band from the 90's! He's already been threatened with it once. Then again, the Republicans seem to be whipped right now, they're begging to work with him, guess whatever the outcome is will tell us whether this is the case. New Jersey was not the only state that I saw. Oh, yeah, the article mentions several, but I was surprised by NJ. Even the conservatives are more liberal than other conservatives, from what I see, of all the states, I was surprised NJ would be one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teky0101 6 Posted November 12, 2012 Kaiser, I agree with you NJ is a shocker! I was wondering who creates these petitions? I saw others for South Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee, Michigan, New York, Colorado, Mississippi, Kentucky, Florida and it is likely there are many others! Times are getting scary!

SgtToadette 59 Posted November 12, 2012 Does anyone else think we may see Obama get impeached before 4 years is up? I just have this feeling. On what grounds precisely? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnp 45 Posted November 12, 2012 On what grounds precisely? I really don't know, I just got the feeling. I mean 20+ states are talking about seceding from the country because of Obama and his policies. Just to many things piling up that are looking real bad. I think we all know/assume that his policies are going to weaken this country even further. And I think it's only a matter of time until Obama voters are going to be saying I can't believe I made this mistake. That's basically it, shits gonna get so bad that he will get impeached for something. Or maybe some blow back from F&F or Libya. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tactical Turtle 11 Posted November 12, 2012 If we succeed from the union we would loose all federal assistance and the constitution wouldn't apply to us. That would leave fat ass Christie as king of nj and our second amendment would be a thought of the past. As much as I hate that president of ours leaving the union would carry worst consequences to our rights then if we just deal with it and a hope for 2016. As for impeachment. .. wont happen.

JustJoe 0 Posted November 12, 2012 Secession won't happen either. In 1861 Pres. Lincoln made sure that such tomfoolery wouldn't not be tolerated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candide 0 Posted November 12, 2012 It's just a political statement. I highly doubt anything will come of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaiser7 33 Posted November 12, 2012 Depends. All Obama has to do is to allow Texas to Secede, and no Republican President will ever win again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njpilot 671 Posted November 12, 2012 The Dems still control the Senate. Obama could pull out a gun and shoot someone on live tv and the corrupt, dishonest, low-life Harry Reid would not allow an impeachment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obama could pull out a gun and shoot someone on live tv and the corrupt, dishonest, low-life Harry Reid would not allow an impeachment. Bingo! Impeachment not going to happen with this prez. This guy is the new "Teflon Don" because nothing sticks to him whatsoever. NJ wanting to seceed is surprising given the fact that "we" voted him in to begin with. As for some of the other states seceeding, I don't see that happening either. A lot of emotions are still brewing and will eventually simmer down as history has shown. Sadly, I can't remember a time in my nearly 5 decades on this earth that I've seen the country so divided. Props to our leadership for creating this mess with their "vote for revenge" message......we certainly got change alright Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candide 0 Posted November 12, 2012 Of course we are divided, they prefer it that way. They can do a better job of ripping us off and taking our freedoms when we are strugging to make a living, fighting to get out of debt, or fighting with eachother over politics, race, and all the other shit that keeps us divided. While we all argue and struggle they steal everything right from under our noses. United we stand, divided we fall. Sound familiar? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Babyface Finster 45 Posted November 12, 2012 Let me get this right. Petition has about 3,100 signatures. NJ has approximately 9 million residents. Those who signed this petition consist of less than 0.00035% of the state's population. Most likely even less if you go by the first page of signatures since so many are not even from NJ. Please explain why this is newsworthy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyDigz 1,812 Posted November 12, 2012 .... Please explain why this is newsworthy? Thank you. These "petitions" at the white house petition site have as much import as someone creating a poll here on this forum. Anyone with an internet connection and an email address can create their own petition there. Anyway, if a state were to secede, wouldn't they just *DO IT*!? You don't ask for permission to secede, you just do it (and then be ready for any consequences if what you secede from comes after you). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
