Huffpost: As some Republicans continue to cope with the prospect of another four years under President Barack Obama, a Texas GOP official is floating a simple way out: cleaving his state from the union.
Yeah, conservatives tried that over slavery. Stands to reason they wouldn't want to be part of a country that actually has a black president. But the reality is this crowd has long shown hostility to the very things that make America American - civil rights, equal rights, the constitution, upward mobility, democracy, etc. That's why the base of the Republican party is more partial to the confederate flag than the American flag. But we are a society accepting of all views, no matter how disgusting or un-American. So we'll let them live here. And they can even fly their confederate flag. Given their hostility to our American ideals however, letting them serve in government is not a good idea.
