Vermont Secession: You Know You're In Trouble...

You Know You're In Trouble...

... when The Onion's got your number.

The Second Vermont Republic and "Vermont Commons", as a movement leadership model, seems to be at an end of any meaningful contribution to the secession discussion or to Vermont seceding but refuses to admit any error or even the obvious. It's an awful lot like the Bush leadership model.

UPDATE: And you know that you're really in trouble if you're from Vermont and are invited to appear on The O'Reilly Factor. Green Mountain Daily has the link to the video of Thomas Naylor's appearance on the show last night here.

You may want to have someone explain what I said to you before you post a response.

Flags of theSecond Vermont Republic

This flag is the standard of the present daySecond Vermont Republic.

This flag represents the movement by members of SVR to "collectivize" the assests of the State of Vermont andre-create a Soviet-style centralized economy based on a report written by SVR members of UVM's Gund Institute.

This flag was used by various 2010 election campaigns of SVR, such as gubernatorial candidateDennis Steele's campaign, managed by secessionist embed in the Occupy Vermont movement, Matt Cropp, as well as at the official websiteof the Second Vermont Republicthat is maintained by theMagnolia Vermonter, Thomas Naylor.

This is the earliest known SVR flag which represents SVR's strong ties to the white supremacist League of the South that continue to this day.
