To all those people who flooded the Obama administration’s “We the People” website with their secessionist petitions, here’s a thought? Why don’t you leave the United States for another country? Renounce your citizenship. It’s just that simple.

The right wingers are grasping straws and it’s quite comical to watch they sink lower and lower into the racist muck that will only work against them.
