I posted a copy of this up at Cross and Flame, and the discussion came around to Texas, Quebec, and not New Hampshire but Vermont (which, like Texas, was once its own country).
What I think is interesting about the Vermont secessionists (and moreso that I know about a similar movement in New Hampshire) is that they're already reaching out to their neighbors. From that "vermontrepublic.com" link:
We also favor negotiations with Maine, New Hampshire and the four Atlantic provinces of Canada possibly to create a New Atlantic Confederacy - a nation about the size of Denmark. We would not rule out similar negotiations with Quebec, as well as membership in the U.N.
I find it interesting that the Vermont gang is swinging left, while most other groups seem like they'd swing right (states' rights being a kind of conservative issue, usually).
I think I feel a blog entry about all these secessionists coming on.... |
