Of course there was no option not to secede. Seems legit.

Hey, if you had 20,000+ troops at the polls, you'd vote the way the State wanted you to vote too.





We've seen how voter intimidation works.

















I can see this same chain of events happening one by one in each of the former Soviet states until the USSR is completely re-assembled. Our President won't intervene.

We get it. You hate Obama and have issues with minorities. That said, do you have to broadcast it in every thread not related? Also, are you going to compare armed military guys to some unarmed people standing watch over a voting facility?

From the Article:

"Obama said Putin acted out of weakness, not strength."

I just don't know how to respond to such an idiotic statement. Really. Stunned at the self-delusion.

Look back at the Obama presidency, its been like this the whole time. Basically sound bites and rhetorical quotes with little or no action. Apathetic response by the voters is even more disappointing than this President. I think he will be remembered as the most disappointing President of the modern time.

By modern time, you mean since 1789, right?

post industrial, but I would say country-wide Republican leadership at every government level (county, state, federal) is probably the worst since 1789.
