Oh, there was mucho "secession" talk coming from various "Blue State" folk over the past eight years. The comments bandied about here - replete with their bigoted "they're all a buncha inbred bucktoothed crackers" vibe - could've come from any number of comments made on the subject by oh-so-sanctimonious "liberals" during the Dubya's reign.
As to 3K in San Jose, I don't think that's half bad for a populace which here-to-fore didn't much take to the streets. If it's still in the single digit thousands a year or two from now then that would be more telling.
And all those "Bush = Hitler" and "Cheney = Satan" signs at those so called "peace rallies" were but harmless sarcasm of the Left? Come on!
This is the price to pay for such divisiveness in the political realm - and like it or not, the political left has got a far longer and more sordid history of playing up such divisiveness than does the political right. At least so in this country. Not that the GOP is saintly in this regard. Hardly that. But I watched the wretched excess of the Left over the past eight years and nothing the political right has yet come up with has managed to equal it.
