The Secesh 2

Another outbreak of my way or the highway.

A group is calling for five western Maryland counties to secede and form their own state.

Scott Strzelczyk, leader of the Western Maryland Initiative, said people are fed up with the liberal majority and want an “amicable divorce.” He wants to live in a smaller state, with more “personal liberty, less government intrusion, less federal entanglements.”

I’m beginning to wonder whether the nation will survive Teabaggery.

    What “federal entanglements” could there possibly be in western Maryland? “Strzelczyk launched the initiative with a Facebook page in July, and it has drawn more than 2,200 likes so far.” That’ll surely do it. The professor dryly notes this is “the language of a protest movement.” The more they talk like this the more they sound like old neo-Nazis who always wished to set up pure white enclaves out in the countryside. One wonders if that ever enters their heads. The only thing missing was the complaint that their tax money is going to lazy non-white free-loaders in Baltimore.

    Harper’s Ferry National Historical Park, maybe?

     

    All seriousness aside, I suspect their idea of a “federal entanblement” is the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or the Voting Rights Act.  That’s the battle the secesh are fighting, wherever they pop up.  

     

    All the rest is from the fog machine.
