The severity of these traitorous rantings from the right never ceases to surprise. I'm reminded of the left's threat to leave the country over the second election of King George the Second (Bush 43), with one important difference. The left accepted the legitimacy of the election and wanted to protest it with their feet. They were taking their ball and going home. In contract, the far right, in the current case, refuses to acknowledge the legitimacy of the last election and responds with threats of violence. They seem completely incapable of accepting that they lost, and respond with violence to anyone who points out that they did. Not the most adult response out of the two.
One side note. I'm always amused by these sort of secessionist sentiments. The red states most likely to secede receive far more Federal tax money then they collect. They complain about taxes, yet they spend more than their share. I've said it before and I'll say it again, good riddance to them!

And if this thing passes, it’s on Mr. Rightisleft.
Millions feel just like me, and I’d sooner die a patriot, than a slave. And even if every one of us is killed… I will have considered it an honor to be dead amongst other like minded [sic] heros.
Secession and civil war are alternatives to this, and by god if those are the only options left… so be it, the democrats forced our hand.

The parasitic blue states will elect the public option and the red states will opt out. The left has now achieved exactly what it set out to do. They will reward their nanny state Marxist/leftist constituents and the parasitic underclass for faithfully voting for Democrats. We should take it one step further and completely redistribute the land mass and other resources so the two different and irreconcilable ideologies can go their separate ways never again to meet. The left can then build their ideal Marxist state and the rest of us can rebuild the greatest democracy and free market system ever known … and the sooner the better.
And haven't these idiots heard of spell checkers!

First off, LGF is kind of a wacko site. Second, I read Hot Air fairly often and I've never seen anything even vaguely secessionist.
I think you've been had or if not, the sentiment is so unusual that you might as well have been had.
These were from the comments section, but I'll have to check out Hot Air some more for my self.
