The primary stupidity, IMO, of the petitioners and also those who have spoken wistfully of an actual armed "revolution" is their mistaken belief that the majority of the American people agree with them and the majority of the American people (to include all the members of the actice duty United States military) would join them or support them.? There is a need for decentralization, not necessarily secession. Do majority agree or not is irrelevant. The majority does not understand what is going on. The federal government has grown too big, it is too corrupt, and it has separated itself from the population at large, it has lost trust (look at the Congress approval rating) and it does not do what it is supposed to do. In many instances it represents multinational corporations (foreign) interest. Look at the wars and military budget it is running. In what way have or will Americans benefit from these? Obama is largely irrelevant; it could be Romney, anybody a system insider. Armed rebellion is not necessary, unless there will be armed invasion by the federal government. I do not see how and why it would happen: it would solve nothing. To make the issue into Obama hating, minority hating, or whatever unrelated to the problem is unfair evil tactics to suppress the democratic real debate.
