Theocracy, Inc.
9 September 2004 by Bob So, I guess there’s this xian organization called Christian Exodus, and they want to have a theocratic state after they break free from the Union:
“The only Southern nationalist organization I have found with an ETI [estimated time of independence] is the South Carolina League of the South, which, according to state director Robert Hayes, is determined to be free of the union within 20 years,” the posting says. “I think we can move this date closer to the present with a managed emigration.” According to an article in a recent issue of Intelligence Report, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s journal on hate groups, there are higher concentrations of “antigovernment extremists” in parts of South Carolina than anywhere else in the United States, other than parts of the Ozarks and northern Idaho.
So, there ya go: South Carolina’s primed for Jesus! Watch your clocks (and your maps) for future happenings.

His goal is to fill the state legislature with “Christian constitutionalists.” […] The organization’s Web site says if it does not meet its goal of change, it will work to secede from the United States.
