Poll: Nearly 25% of Americans Would Consider Secession

Nearly 25% of Americans, largely fueled by their anger toward the permanent political class in Washington, D.C., would consider secession.

According to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll released a day after voters in Scotland rejected an "independence referendum" by nearly 10 points, "23.9 percent of Americans polled from Aug. 23 through Sept. 16 said they strongly supported or tended to support the idea of their state breaking away, while 53.3 percent of the 8,952 respondents strongly opposed or tended to oppose the notion."

The poll found that the "urge to sever ties with Washington cuts across party lines and regions," and anger with President Barack Obama on Obamacare and foreign policy and a "long-running Washington gridlock had prompted them to wonder if their states would be better off striking out on their own."

I wanted to leave as soon as I found out that the rest of this crazy country elected a Muslim foreigner as a president!

It seems to me better to fight back; to take back our country and return to constitutional obedience rather than presidential fiat. The NDAA is a perfect example. Probable Cause, as provided for in the forth amendment, has been trashed and replaced by mere suspicion as a grounds for incarcerating Americans.

The government needs to get back to what it is supposed to do - namely, provide for the common defense. It does not belong in education or lunches or redistribution of wealth or healthcare or any of the other social programs.

It is our fault for not holding our elected officials accountable. We need to vote these bums out of office and reclaim our country.
