Could be considered tyrany or insurrection. They should probably store up some food storage and build up a malitia.

If the U.S. economy collapses all of your neighbors will suddenly look like this.

most states would be better of returning to territory status and reclaim lost state sovereignty and throw out federalism and all it's unfunded mandates.

pandering to ignorance imo

It's the mindset the Repubs want to imbue their voters with: Hunker down, prepare for the inevitable end of times because the boogieman anti-christ Obama is running the country, and oh yeah! Vote Republican to prevent all of this from happening, K?

We lived in western Wyoming in the 80's. Many of the locals we knew were part of the "Wyoming Militia," a group established to prevent the incursion of outsiders should (1) California fall into the ocean, or (2) the country's economy crashed and folks from the coastal states headed for safety and good hunting.
While some of them were "gun nuts" just looking for an excuse to "play soldier," most of them were (otherwise) good, responsible citizens...and a couple were members of the local sheriff's department...and were dead serious about keeping outsiders in case of an apocalyptic type of event. <shrug>
Can't say as I blame them. PARTS of Wyoming are beautiful, unfortunately, the nice parts are surrounded by places that look like they were flushed through Hell's toilet.

because our government never had deficit spending before this Hawaiian of African / American ancestry was president....

But he's seriously raised the bar on deficit spending and taken it to an artform.
