“PORTLAND – Oregon is among the more than 30 states since last Tuesday’s election in which people have signed petitions to the White House to allow their states to secede from the union.”

Everyone who wants to secede because Obama was elected is clearly unhappy with the democratic process.  The US should buy their goods at a fair market value and then give them a one-way ticket to the country of their choice, stripping themselves of US citizenship in the process.

After all, if one is uncomfortable with democracy, they should go where they are comfortable.  It would be a secession for them.  They should be accommodated.

If they refuse to pick a country put them on a ship with 30 days of supplies, and set them adrift.  They’ll find somewhere.  They should not have to tolerate living by the vote.
