West Maryland? Citizens Call for Secession

Marylanders sick of Annapolis’s liberal agenda are hoping to follow in West Virginia’s footsteps and secede from the state they begrudgingly belong to.
From the Washington Post:

{...} A 49-year-old information technology consultant wants to apply the knife to Maryland’s five western counties. “The people are the sovereign,” says Scott Strzelczyk, leader of the fledgling Western Maryland Initiative, and the western sovereigns are fed up with Annapolis’s liberal majority, elected by the state’s other sovereigns.
“If you think you have a long list of grievances and it’s been going on for decades, and you can’t get it resolved, ultimately this is what you have to do,” says Strzelczyk, who lives in New Windsor, a historic town of 1,400 people in Carroll County. “Otherwise you are trapped.”

Strzelczyk launched a Western Maryland Initiative Facebook page in July, which is now just shy of 2,500 likes. He, along with other more conservative-minded citizens in the Western counties of Garrett, Allegany, Washington, Frederick and Carroll, are growing weary of the state's stance on issues like gun control, taxes, energy policy, gay marriage and immigration.
Suzanne Reisig Olden, a Carroll County paralegal, for instance, explains on Facebook how she is fed up with legislation like the “rain tax,” a stormwater management fee, which was approved last year.

“Taxing the friggin’ rain?” she says. “The next thing they tax will be the air we breathe.”

Maryland isn’t the only state facing secessionist rhetoric because of unpopular liberal policies. Nearly a dozen northern Colorado counties have nonbinding referendums set for November ballots, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is trying to join with parts of Wisconsin and Northern California counties want to form a state called Jefferson, according to the WaPo.
The last time a state successfully seceded from another was in 1863, when West Virginia won its independence from the Old Dominion. Citizens like Strzelczyk are hoping for a similar outcome for folks in Maryland who want to be free from the Free State.

“If you don’t belong in their party,” Strzelczyk says of Democrats, “you’ll never have your views represented” in Maryland. “If we have more states,” he says, “we can all go live in states that best represent us, and then we can get along.”

North California and south Oregon almost became the state of jefferson but WW2 happened and they decided not to divide the country when it should be united.

I hope to see this happening soon. Let them live in their shit holes and make laws in the new states to keep them out.

What so many fail to realize is that the liberal disease is spreading faster than the Black Plague. Even if they got their own states with strict conservative/pro-liberty constitutions, the lib's would soon enough over-take the conservative populations of those states and vote for new constitutions with anti-liberty rhetoric.

California also has an east/west divide.

As I've been saying for a while, the battle lines are being drawn and sides are being taken.

Sad but true.

As far as Colorado is concerned, I think anything north of I-70, East on Eisenhower should become the new state and have completley free 2nd Amendment laws

Honestly, I don't think so.

Seems Barack Obama is going to get the last laugh. Before you know it, there will be 57 states.

I thought the 57th state is called Kenya.
