If the South was to secede again, would the federal government have the stomach to wage war like it did between 1861 to 1865?

What Perry is realizing now is that the economic hit Texas would pay for succession would be almost too much to bear...

Although, privately, I’m betting we could endure as a separate Republic AGAIN, if the boat we are in now sinks a little more...

The economic hit we will take may pale in comparison to remaining in the Union...Once those numbers are crunched, I see some people making some more noises about this...

For those wishing to stay, fine...Be prepared for ANYTHING...

For those wishing to leave...Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the way out...
