officialgaiman, I’ve just found out that these people want a bunch of conservative Christians to move to South Carolina and then secede from the union to create a Christian republic in accordance with their (to my eyes, wacky) reading of the Constitution.
Which leads me to the burning question, why South Carolina?
I’m not entirely displeased with a solution in which they leave and we stay, since lately I’ve so often feared it would be the other way round. But wouldn’t it make more sense to take over, I don’t know, Hawaii? Something self-contained and not so close to Washington, DC? I don’t care how sympathetic to right wing Christians they are, people who need a whole hemisphere to feel safe will never let you keep it.
I suppose I’ll have to revise my “in case of world ending, go here” plan again. Even if they don’t succeed at seccession, large numbers of disgruntled extremist Christians are not healthy for bisexual Jewish atheist ACLU member to hang around. Drat. I liked South Carolina, it had good trees.

Tempting though it may be...
Amendment XIV, Secion 1.We fought the worst war in our history to get that passed. South Carolinians who would object to the new arangement are entitled to the amendment's protection.
