LMAO.
Try it again when dancing with the stars season has concluded.
The “Americans” and America of 2012 is not in any way related to the one of 200 years ago.
Bttt
I wish we could make a conservative barter market and stop using any form of currency.
Who could do this, who has the power and the money to begin? Better yet, who has the .....'s, well you know.
Keep thinking about it...
You have to get all states along the mississippi river, otherwise trade can still move up and down it. There is an enormous amount of trade that goes up and down this river.
I cant see how the numbers are there in the states you are talking about to make this viable..
I think this whole scenario will come about sooner or
later when we get the hyper-inflation driven economic
collapse that is almost assuredly coming. The Europeans just
might deliver it to you in a silver platter.
At that point it will be a snap to put together a COS or
what I would call a “Coalition of States”.
Basically, the same as what you put together and (or) any
red state that wants to join us.
So be patient... our day is coming.

You’re from my hometown, I realize losing the election is a bummer. However, you are not just skirting federal laws, you have broken a few “seizing military bases”? Have you lost your mind? Such an action would be treason.
You might want to avoid posting online for the forseeable future . . .
Hell us downstaters have wanted to secede from Illinois for a long time. Better said, we’d like the State of Chicago to secede, and leave the rest of us bitter clingers and flyover folks the hell alone. They could put the tollbooths back up on the highways going in, just turn them into border checkpoints. Their eastern front is already secured by Lake Michigan and to the north, there is the Cheddar Curtain. It’s a perfect solution! We keep our money, and they can eat fish from the lake or maybe those that float down the polluted Calumet River. We’ll keep our corn and stuff, I’m sure they can grow plenty of hydroponic seaweed and tofu and crap in those fancy rooftop gardens.
They’ve always told us that Chicago is the economic heart of Illinois. Well, put up the barricades and we’ll find out where the stomach is in a couple of weeks...
Maybe someday. But its way too early for that. Just the economic ramifications of sucession are daunting to say the least. Read about it. Texas would be a separate country like Canada or Mexico. And what about your family or even your spouse who are dems. Do you just walk away from them?
We need to realize that we are stressed, angry and sad and running on adrenaline. Let’s settle down a little bit so we can make practical decisions.
As a native Texan, I will say this. Texas will be the last bastion of freedom on earth come the revolution. I am so proud to be a Texan!
I think it would be easier to just get a super majority of states to just simply abolish the federal government.
This would not remove the constitution, considering the constitution provides for this scenario.
DC is the problem... not the states.
Lets just abolish it and reform it from scratch...
somewhere central and protected from the libtards on the coasts.
Another way to turn the screws to the east coast is to turn off the taps on the pipelines that deliver petroleum products
from the refineries on the Houston Ship Channel and Texas
City.
There are MANY pipelines that lead from Texas east to NJ and NY.
Remember the old days.... Drive 80 and freeze a yankee?
Dumb thoughts, very dumb move... no support whatsoever.
Secession will instigate a Civil War. But that’s OK as long as you are prepared.
The previous Civil War was won because manufacturing was held in the North(high tech weaponry) and agriculture was held in the south(food/cotton/etc). The Union had the technology, but the Confederacy had the strategy.
With a secession today, the weakness is held equally in the high tech accessibility. Large cities are the weak point, and with no food, will collapse within a month.
The technology is negated in this case, and where it isn’t equal, population can mitigate it. Having access to farm land is more important this time, because both sides are carrying the same hardware. The ability to grow food long term will trump weapons. An army moves on it’s stomach.
It would end up being a war between city and country, not simply States. At some point(immediately after they attack preferably) the middle of the US would have to go on the offensive and attack one side, and defend the other. Then switch it.
Having troops crawling in from all sides is untenable long term. You will be picked apart. You have to remove the threat, unless they decide to stand down- which they can’t, because they need your resources and your property.
So it’s a good plan, but understand where it will put you 3 steps in. War on all sides. Before you contemplate that maneuver you must be ready for a mass offensive beforehand.
This is a question you would need to propose to a military man like Gen. McChrystal or General Ham. This would need to be planned with 3 options open for every move taken. You can’t wing that. You need a military historian and/or an experienced military man to put that together to minimize loss.
There is also another scenario, where other Nations like China or Russia, seeing what’s happening, will vaporize the coastal cities to end the war and neutralize the threat the Occupied US Government poses to their Countries. But that would come later. This is possible, but understand the goal and how to attain it.
Can you add Louisiana to your list. We had 70% voter turn out and we voted 60% - 40% for Romney
If Texas does it I will move. Will cost me $50K to get out of my house and I’ll take a pay cut, but I will move.
