Why do they call it the "Patriot Network"?? Shouldn't it be the Expatriate Network? What's Patriotic about seceding? Isn't patriotism about sticking around and trying to fix the thing?
Anyway, I'd like to see them try to set up trade agreements, get international recognition, or even be able to support themselves on their own tax base. Oh yes, if you don't like high taxes, I wouldn't go this route. But if you don't like an orderly society with police and fire protection, a standing army, and a national currency that allows freedom of movement across the largest span of real estate in the world, then by all means it's the right thing to do.
For the rest of the country, we'll just have to can those plans to motor West--in a Packard or anything else (in keeping with the Packard theme, here). I mean, who's going to organize this confederacy? Survivalists from Idaho? Or just the loudest talker amongst the windbags who think these things up?
Don't worry, if the national government of the United States became a totalitarian dictatorship, which is what the constitution is guarding against, there would be a Nationwide uprising. Let's hope it never comes to that, like it almost did over the past 7 years.
That's all I'm sayin' about that.
