US split: Collapse of 'shattered union' to begin with Texas?

Russian economist and academic Igor Panarin says that there is a strong possibility that the United States will break into six pieces by June 2010, which he says will be the result of a second economic crisis in late November. After Texas Governor Rick Perry mentioned the possibility of his state seceding from the union, Americans started to take Panarin's predictions much more seriously and now the video game 'Shattered Union' is being developed into a major Hollywood motion picture.

Oh my, I can just imagine Hollywood’s take on the secession and division of American states from the union.

The current southeastern US becomes a new republic. Question is: how do we ship Atlanta and New Orleans up north?

As much as I’m ticked off at Rick Perry and the debacle he has presided over regarding our roads, I think he would be more apt to say “enough” and Kay Bailey would just keep taking her meds and go with the federal flow.
To: mrsmel
Yes, I can just see the Hollywood movie now.
Civil war, with southerners dressed in Klu Klux Klan outfits against Texans in Cowboy outfits, New Englanders in three piece suits, Mid-Westerners with pitchforks, Washingtonians with chainsaws, and Californians with cellphone cameras creating the videos.
Meanwhile, Obama tours the world on an eternal apology tour, in between rounds of golf, and Michelle works the White House vegetable garden.

The problem with this premise is that this Russian sees America through his Russian eyes. The former USSR dissolved because it was a union held together with an iron fist, pitting ethnic groups against each other, using genocide to keep ethnic groups in check.
Unless you are an American Indian, you probably don't view the United States like that.

We say FU to socialists all the time! Like for example at the Tea Party Express gathering on the steps of the Capitol last night.
C’mon down!
I seriously doubt we’ll secede from the union, however. I still hold out hope that all of US have gotten our wake up call and will rout the ‘Rats within the system.

Certainly somethings got to give.
Watching the Republican congressional delegation crowded up on the platform as Mark Levin spoke on Thursday, I was shocked at how weak they appeared.
The truth is that the Democrats have broken the bond, they can and will do anything they want to.
Vacuums like that in affairs of state usually lead to killing.

Lots of hope that 2010 will save America from the Communists but the results from 2010 are too far away and the damage will have been done. Simple minded rat faces like Pelosi, Reid, Frankeeee, etc just can't see what they have done. Americans will revolt. King Obama is rotten to the core.

The communists King Obama and his RAT leaders in the House and Senate should realize what damage they have done to America. I'm positive they realize what they have done. After all, this is their plan. And I'm sure they are pleased as punch with what they've done.
Further, if you could get them to be honest (NOT LIKELY!!!) they would say, "Not bad, for a start."

“As much as Im ticked off at Rick Perry and the debacle he has presided over regarding our roads, I think he would be more apt to say enough and Kay Bailey would just keep taking her meds and go with the federal flow.”
Yea - I have to agree. What’s worse, a caretaker governor or foreign-owned highways (with monopoly tolling rates). At this point, I’m still with the caretaker...but my mind could be changed...it sucks.
I was hoping that we could hold out long enough for Dan Patrick to be gov. before having to go it alone. Knowing Dan, the minute he put his hand down after being sworn in, he’d pick up a pen and sign our Declaration.

Actually, what I tell people here in Texas is that the WE would not be leaving the country in order to live under an Austin-based Constitution similar to the one in DC.
Rather it is the rest of the country that succeeded, once it decided that the the US Constitution was no longer the foundation of the country and could be ignored.

They are creating this “damage” on purpose.
Rick Perry should say all American soldiers on Texas military bases can carry CCW sidearms for protection. They need protection from Islamic sleepers agents.
Tell the Feds to get screwed.

I have looked at your proposed map of the new north America and with all due respect to the cowboy nation to our west, the map should be corrected as noted.

However there are disputed areas along the Georgia Territory border areas.
