Perry and Demint are the ones that brought it up and do I think they are serious? No, it makes

I certainly don't think that Perry is serious about succession but I'm not so sure
about Demint and nullification. I think he may very well think that this a
tactical that the SC legislation could employ. So yes knowing a bit of US
history helps; Calhoun was from SC as well.
Note that I wasn't suggesting that the other 48 states throw them out of the Union, but, if by some chance the TX or SC legislation actually voted for succession, I say let them go. Not worth another Ft Sumter.
I'm a bit curious about how you view yourself politically. Obviously you're no fan of Obama and some of your comments hark back
to standard right-wingnuttery, but on the other hand, you seem to be saying, you think he needs to be more a left than he is.
Of course, politics are circular, go far enough right or left and you arrive at the same place, eg paulites and larouchians.
Thanks for the spell check; not a strong point for me without a spell checker.
