Secession in the United States

Wait a minute... THIS IS ISN'T 1861!

After last weeks election, a petition was created on the White house's website that asked for multiple to states to 'peacefully' secede from the United States. Even though this action is illegal and is outlined specifically  in the US Constitution a lot of people are actually considering it.

If you would like to view Texas's petition, you can view the page Here at the Whitehouse.gov Website. The page has accumulated over 100,000 signatures and growing. Another petition has been created stating that whoever signed the petitions should immediately lose American citizenship and deported. Although this idea is radical, is it wrong?

Think about it. They want to leave a country they don't want to be in? Fine, let them leave. First, gives us the $17.5BN they owe the US Nation. However, Texas is not the only state to create this petition. Other states include Florida, South Carolina, and Alabama.

The Irony?
The only reason that these "petitions" are able to be created and signed is because of Obama. The Obama administration is the only presidential administration to allow people to visit the website and voice their opinions.
