Think Progress: Twenty five percent of registered Republicans want their state to secede from the United States, according to a new poll from Public Policy Polling.
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, reason, compassion, politics without violence, 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.
