" Most people that talk about secede LOVE what the US was founded on but believe that this country is the same country now in name only; that America as we know it is an entirely different country than it once was and is sinking further every day. They view a secession as a way to get back to those beliefs and such that this country USED to represent. (Weren't all those liberals blathering about 'moving to Canada' after the 2004 election? The liberal double standard is always a hoot.) "

" leah, look at the Texas statehood act, and state constitution, before you respond. Texas has a clause built in for secession that you should read. "

" First of all it is illegal for 'any state' to secede from the union.

Secondly - Over 3.5 million Texans voted for Obama, more than any other state other than New York and California. There are a lot of progressives in Texas. The Majority of Texans do NOT support what Perry said.

Thirdly, anyone that does not support all 50 states of OUR UNION is not patriotic and should move to another country. "

" So in scrolling down I found all the blogs blathering on about those 'right-wing' terrorists that the idiot, inexperienced current head of Homeland Security so stupidly belched out a week or so back. In today's news, I see that American's current #1 Most-Wanted domestic terrorist is an animal-rights activist! Are animal-rights hippies now considered 'right wing'? Idiots... "

" Worry not. The truth's here Hmmmmm, anyone can scroll down and find what you really said--obviously, it's your detractors twisting words.

These are the same nabobs who think some hippiedippy bankrobbers from the 60s were as effective as McVeigh/Nickels. In addition to the deaths of so many innocent adults and children, around 800 were seriously wounded in OKC. To compare those numbers to so little--I'm embarrassed for these idiots who find these acts equal.

There's nothing you can do about people like that--except leave them to wallow in their own shallowness and ignorance. "

I recall you making similar cracks in here before. Your response also does nothing to help your case. Making disparaging comments about older people isn't just rude; it's ignorant and stupid since you'll be an 'old person' some day yourself.

Many are still just as sharp as ever. Sadly, many are forgotten and seem disregarded by not only my generation but even my parent's generation. I say to you that people such as the loathsome individual in here that made the juvenile comments are not the representation of us all. By speaking that way, they prove THEMSELVES irrelevant and easily ignored. "

" No misconstruement going on here, DJ. Speaking strictly for myself...the point was made by a blogger that when it came to the "most effective" American terrorists--McVeigh/Nickels launched their list. A subsequent blogger disagreed--claiming radicals from the sixties were not tamer by comparison.

There has never been an incident like OKC--nothing compares. And shame on anyone who says otherwise. I invite them here to see what happened, to our achingly beautiful memorial standing as a poignant testament against hate and ignorance. Bring your cameras--AND you handkerchiefs. You'll need them.

For those who lost loved ones that terrible day, your comparisons are especially painful.

The late '60s into the '70s saw extreme violence from radical groups. It's embarrassing to see an American that doesn't know that. Murder, arson, robberies and especially bombings. Heck, one of the Symbionese Army murders/robbers from the '60s was just in the news last month! You watch too many movies...think the time was just about hippies and Woodstock?

Are they not supposed to notice the obvious?

The whack jobs involved in the bombing of Oklahoma City, the abortion clinic bombers, David Koresch, libertarian survivalists, the KKK, etc., these are not a bunch of left wingers--but right wing extremists.

" I agree. With the sad 14-year anniversary of the OKC bombing coming up in three days, it's reassuring to know our country's leadership is responsive to the lessons learned on that tragic day. This community's forever changed. Though we've survived it, it's difficult not to be wistful about an alternative outcome. If only there'd been a way to stop the evildoers on that day. Our leadership needs to remain strong and aggressively vigilant, aware of psychological markers that compel former military members to deeds of devastating destruction. "

" And in 'breaking news'....President (whatever) Obama is sending FBI negotiaters to deal with the Somali pirates who kidnapped the U.S. merchant captian! Oh boy, what a strong 'President' we have!

Whatever happened to 'we don't negotiate with terrorists'? But what else would you expect from this joke of an administration? I guess we'll just pay them whatever they want, who cares if if emboldens them to do this more often or shows how weak the U.S. is to the rest of the world? Maybe Pelosi and the other Dems can go meet with them like they did with Castro. "

" 1) The Fed Gov't would never let us secede. They want the oil, coal, etc.

2) The 'would Sarah be queen' comment is funny coming from people that still support our new Commissar Comrade Chairman as 'President'.

3) Many supporting the idea of secession DO enjoy the freedoms and values that the United States was founded on. But those values are either gone or disappearing ever faster. The United States is the same nation in name only as long as people continue to support radical socialism, loss of constitutional rights, etc. "

We don't need Alaska--we never did; Alaska needs us. You're just one more mouth to feed (since you can't seem to feed your own--without charity).
We get more from our domestic natural resources elsewhere, and more cheaply. We certainly don't need Alaska to live well.

You're just too chicken to go it alone--you can't do it without the country that invited you, like poor relation, to enjoy the American experience. And from that vast experience, including millions of dollars in susbsidies, you show gratitude through the unpatriotic threat of seceding? Whata buncha hacks!

You wanna go? GO! Don't let the door slap you on your rear on your way out. "

" The Civil War proved how the Feds react to any move for States Rights despite the intent and guarantees of the founding fathers. As America rushes headlong into socialism and potential facism from the left there is still hope. It is not yet time and probably never will be for an independent Alaska. Even if there was an independent Alaska it would not be long before the Russians rectified their long regretted mistake of 1867 and invaded. In any event if the U.S. continues to decline economically and militarily,Alaska may one day become expendable.Let's hope that day never comes. "

" Seceding from the union is a great idea, but we haven't a snowballs chance of that happening. There are far too many liberal voices setting the political agenda in Alaska. Besides, if we did the Russians would be drilling for that oil. Alaska has become a sanctuary state, ninety some languages being spoken in our schools, over a hundred gangs prowling our streets, and welfare recipients from every point of the compass. It is a nice thought though. "

" Good letter. Most people are completely unaware of the amount of oil and other natural resources that are here.
If we indeed could seceed, we would have no problems opening up our own trade with other countries. The people in the lower 48 believe we couldn't fend for ouselves, but we know the truth.
Natural resources are what create wealth and prosperity, that in conjunction with hard work, and good leadership, would make a fine country.
I wish more people would start paying more attention to what's really going on. "
