Why not Antarctica?
A group of conservative Christians are so appaled by the Massachusetts same-sex marriages that they want to get their own state and leave the Union.
"Our Christian republic has declined into a pagan democracy," says Cory Burnell, president of ChristianExodus.org, a non-profit corporation based in Tyler, Texas. "There are some issues people just can't take anymore, and [same-sex marriage] might finally wake up the complacent Christians."
Burnell is leading the charge for a peaceful secession of one state from the union, and after originally considering Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina due to their relatively small populations, coastal access, and the Christian nature of the electorate, Burnell says South Carolina has been selected as the target location.
The Christian extremists seriously plan to have South Carolina secede from the United States, so they can have their own gay-hating theocracy. They don't plan to start a second civil war, though, admitting that if the federal government stops them by force, it cannot happen.
I bet much of the same people make a hell of deal over the "under God" phrase in the pledge, forgetting the "indivisible" part.
