WILL STATES SECEDE FROM THE UNION?


Recent surveys indicate that at least 25% of Americans would favor their home state’s secession from the union. 

COMMENTS:
Americans are sick and tired of the national debt, wide-open borders, Washington corruption, federal regulations and non-responsiveness of our elected representatives.  As I said the other day, we are of the opinion that we should all secede and leave the District Columbia with the consequences of its own actions.  We'll need to install huge fans to blow their stench offshore.  

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. How do the lower-ranking members of the military feel about following Obama back into Iraq? (Steve ~ Holbrook, AZ)
A. The vast majority of them have low respect for the President.  They see his claim that he is 100% behind them as a photo op…. that he’s said that before and then forgotten what he said as soon as he got off stage.  They don’t understand why he’s sending 3,000 troops to Africa to fight Ebola and refusing to send troops to Iraq to fight and defeat an enemy.  They see the President as being somewhat like General Custer on the night before the Battle of the Little Bighorn.    

Q. I can’t believe that guy actually got to the front door of the White House?  What was his motivation?  (Julian ~ Merced, CA)
A. He was trying to collect a golf bet from Obama.  The Secret Service identified the man as Omar J. Gonzalez, 42, of Copperas Cove, Texas. He was charged with unlawful entry into the White House complex and transported to a nearby hospital complaining of chest pain.  He’ll probably file a lawsuit for use of excessive force. 

Q. Rand Paul says we should essentially be an isolationist country and withdraw from our leadership role while staying away from “police actions.”  Is this all possible?  (Halle ~ Victorville, CA)
A. No, and Paul is backing away from his Libertarian and Tea Party positions.  From a technological standpoint, we still have the best military in the world.  While we have no business being a cavalier, holier-than-thou or heavy-handed force, there are times when only nations such as the U.S., Russia or China have the military capacity to deal with a crisis.  Both Russia and China have a strong tendency to be imperialist land-grabbers, so we are the logical ones to take the lead.  And if we try to isolate ourselves, who is going to supply us with so many manufactured goods we have pushed offshore due to our tax laws?  We’ve really become dependent on the international community, thanks to decades of “brilliant leadership” in Washington.
