GOP congressman threatens seccession if health care law stands

In the past I’ve ridiculed a subset of American liberals and Democrats for an annoying tendency to threaten to leave the country– most often for Canada– if things don’t go their way politically. In the end, they rarely do. And at least some liberals have a sense of humor about it…

But there’s a corresponding (and much more disturbing) phenomenon on the conservative side, which seems to be moving from the Right’s extreme wing closer to its mainstream.

Republican Congressman Zach Wamp of Tennessee, who is a candidate for governor in the state’s GOP primary, said that if the federal health care reform law passed by Congress this year isn’t repealed, states will have to consider breaking away from the US.
