What a fuss over nothing!

1) State secession rights were decided 140 years ago. They lost.
2) A massive approximately 4% of those polled favor secession. Hell, about 12% of the population believe that Elvis (and they don't mean Costello) is still alive.
3) Probably had that survey been taken at any given time in the past, the results would have been similar...except of course just prior to the Civil war.
4) Perhaps the Republicans of Texas and Georgia polled see the demise of our Federal Republic, as the national government usurps the constitutional rights granted the states, or individual rights granted the people (which is everything, pretty much, not granted the national government by the Constitution) either through legislation, executive order or Supreme Court decisions. This is their way bringing attention to that fact.
5) This has nothing to do with who is President so much as what the President and Congress are doing, notwithstanding that some folks see racism or bigotry or just mean-spiritedness whenever a conservative disagrees with their position.
