| HOUSTON — Texas Gov. Rick Perry has one message for the tens of thousands of Texans calling for secession from the United States: The state will not secede. More than 76,000 people have signed a petition on the “We the People” White House website for Texas to withdraw from the Union and start a new government after President Barack Obama was re-elected. “The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. … Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for

Secession is not the answer. The answer is to start kicking other states out. Let´s start with California and Illinois! Those states probably could not even field an army to fight for re-instatement.

Rick Perry isn´t into futile, empty gestures.
Let´s get serious about efforts to fix things instead of signing secession petitions that have zero chance of accomplishing anything except getting the signers´ names on Obama´s enemies list.

I say we get out while the gettin´ is good.
The USA has already left Texas. We just need to sign the divorce papers to allow us to get on with our lives. We can reconstruct what the USA was intended to be but add a constitutional amendment prohibiting wealth redistribution.

What is marvelous about the 50 State secession petitions (even though some are just for legalized drugs)...whether seceding is possible or not...is that this has occurred because ordinary people reject everything Obama is doing to our Country!! The obamabots have filed a petition to cancel the citizenship & kick out all secession signers - YEAH RIGHT - who will pay for for obamaphones and Air Force One if they kick out the tax payers?!! The secede momentum continues even though Obama tries to distract us from the stolen election with his military generals sex scandal and Benghazi...it won´t. If the clowns at the RNC had half a brain, they would ride in on the secede momentum to "true the Republican vote" with similar state petitions to prove the real Romney vote...they won´t...their lack of action is intentional as they are content to blame Romney´s loss on Conservatives hoping we will go away...we will not!!
If they had half a brain they would have set up a site for all Romney voters to confirm their vote by State and we could compare the real vote with the election night vote!! It likely would not remove Obama from office - he needs AF1 to get away from moochie - but at least it would confirm...or debunk...our belief that the Democrats stole this election!

When our Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, they put their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor on the line. I signed one of the secession petitions yesterday, and felt quite proud to do so publicly.
The rest of the nation needs to be made aware of the depth of our concern about the death of America. It is not a frivolous exercise. If some of the States don´t assert their rights soon, whether with simple nullification of unconstitutional law (e.g. ObamaCare) or outright secession votes, we have no future here.
I´ve begun moving my retirement savings out of the country, and am making inquiries as to other places to live. I learned recently that Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple) is seeking Australian citizenship so that he can move to New Zealand.

But he’s considering a hiring freeze. The growing company, which handles property management, maintenance and real estate sales, could use the extra hands, Henderson says. But if he hires two more employees, he’ll reach the 50-employee threshold that requires small business owners to comply with President Barack Obama’s new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

President Obama´s health care law will push 7 million people out of their job-based insurance coverage — nearly twice the previous estimate, according to the latest estimates from the Congressional Budget Office released Tuesday. CBO said that this year´s tax cuts have changed the incentives for businesses and made it less attractive to pay for insurance, meaning fewer will decide to do so. Instead, they´ll choose to pay a penalty to the government, totaling $13 billion in higher fees over the next decade.

Army National Guard Maj. Shawn Fulker is thousands of miles away serving in Afghanistan, and when his wife´s birthday came around, he decided he wanted to do something very special. Josephine Fulker loves Mellow Mushroom pizza, so her husband emailed Mellow Mushroom´s corporate website on Thursday to ask whether one of the company´s Jacksonville stores could deliver a pizza and a $50 gift card to his wife at their Jacksonville, Fla., home. If they could, he said, he would call the store and pay for it with his credit card.

There are many incompetent people in the world. Dr. David A. Dunning is haunted by the fear that he might be one of them. Dunning, a professor of psychology at Cornell, worries about this because, according to his research, most incompetent people do not know that they are incompetent. On the contrary. People who do things badly, Dunning has found in studies conducted with a graduate student, Justin Kruger, are usually supremely confident of their abilities -- more confident, in fact, than people who do things well. "I began to think that there were probably lots of things that I was bad at, and I didn't know it," Dunning said.

This week the House of Representatives made a positive move in reforming the US immigration process by passing the STEM Jobs Act sponsored by Lamar Smith (R-TX). This act does what our immigration policy should do: ensure a higher level of economic growth in the United States by encouraging the brightest and most talented students in the world to become permanent residents of the United States. It also reduces the wait for the families of the visa recipients to receive residency visas which is now at least two years.

But Hvistendahl soon learned the downside to uncovering what many believe to be a shocking trend in human rights offenses: people will want to do something about it.

Only one of my six children has left New York for economic reasons but the strain of living in this expensive nanny state is weighing heavy on my other five and their families. As a native New Yorker, I´ve seen its middle class population decline over the years due to its neglect of blue collar families which is ironic since this is a Democrat city. With the recent arrests of several local politicians for corruption perhaps New Yorkers will pay more attention to those they put in office. Given their past indifference in local elections this is highly unlikely.

The law, said Rockefeller, is “so complicated and if it isn’t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse.” Rockefeller’s consternation echoes comments made earlier this

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Winters, the cherub-faced comedian whose breakneck improvisations and misfit characters inspired the likes of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey, has died. He was 87. The Ohio native died Thursday evening at his Montecito, Calif., home of natural causes, said Joe Petro III, a longtime family friend. Petro said Winters died of natural causes and was surrounded by family and friends. Winters was a pioneer of improvisational standup comedy, with an exceptional gift for mimicry, a grab bag of eccentric personalities and a bottomless reservoir of creative energy.

I’ve been writing about media coverage of abortion for many years. And so have many others. If you haven’t read David Shaw’s “Abortion Bias Seeps Into The News,” published in the Los Angeles Times back in 1990, you should. That report also explains why we cover the topic here at GetReligion.But the thing is that I’m getting kind of sick of pointing out egregious bias only to see things not just remain bad but get worse. Just think, in the last year, we saw the media drop any pretense of objectivity and bully the Susan G. Komen Foundation

But eight former employees of a run-down West Philadelphia abortion clinic now face prison time for the work they did for Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Three have pleaded guilty to third-degree murder. And Gosnell, 72, is on trial in the deaths of a patient and seven babies allegedly born alive. In testimony at the capital murder trial this past month, an unlicensed doctor and untrained aides described long, chaotic days at the clinic. They said they performed grueling, often gruesome work for little more than minimum wage,

Global PC shipments fell by 13.9 percent in the first quarter of 2013, and according to analyst firm IDC , Windows 8 could very well be the reason. On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that 76.3 million PC units shipped during the most recent financial period, marking the biggest decline since the IDC began publishing quarterly numbers 19 years ago. “The reaction to Windows 8 is real,” Jay Chou, an IDC analyst, said to The Wall Street Journal.
