It’s cheap and easy to natter on about “gay rights,” “Islamophobia,” “racism” or talk about how much “guns” worry you. The more useless you actually are to society and the less you accomplish, the easier it is to pretend that smearing other people in the name of fighting some “ism” is a courageous, noteworthy endeavor, as opposed to worthless prattling designed to make yourself look good to other simpletons.
Amen.
Back when I could get away with logical thinking in my college classroom, when the issue of population control came up, I would ask my student whether the US was overpopulated or underpopulated. They would always respond that it was overpopulated. I would then point out that if every American, all 320,000,000 of them, were moved to a personal half-acre portion of Texas (i.e., two acres for a family of four), there would still be some Texas left over (about 20,000,000 acres, give or take), and the other 56 states (/s) would be, not underpopulated, but unpopulated.
To be more practical, if Texas were to secede and establish itself as a nation based solely on the U.S. Constitution and its first ten amendments--with only those changes such as removing the postal service and the references to allowing slavery--it could easily sustain a population 2 or 3 times its present size of 27 million.
The difficulty would be the extent to which Texas could be self-sustaining: it would have to import a number of necessities such as uranium (and probably oil), and a number of desirabilities such as, say, oranges or bananas. But economics makes for strange bedfellows, and the socialist dictators of Calimexico would figure out ways to sell Texans oranges.
The main issue is the same one that existed in 1861. If the full force of the US military were put into use to overturn the secession, the combined forces available in Texas would not be able to overcome it--the result might be a nuclear wasteland, but there aren't enough arms to turn back a US military onslaught. In order for the Texas secession to succeed, the split would have to be, if not amicable, at least not hostile.

Great article!
Then vote Trump.
The Left is purposely destroying Western civilization. With its destruction will come generations of suffering like the world has never seen. These people are the Nazis on steroids.
Why are leftist women always so eye-poppingly... freakish-looking, for heaven's sake? Like cartoon characters drawn by Don Martin, or Basil Wolverton -- !!!
Great Post! When do I join the Free State of Kaslin?
Feeling the Bern.
You have to see it from THERE point of view. Simply put, we the people think in terms of OUR Country, OUR freedoms, Our Rights, etc. Whereas the Libnuts believe that THERE ways are the only way to follow. No Rights for the individual, only for them and their Libnut followers. We must bow to their amoral, asinine dogma, and be like sheeple following them. Remember, there first rule. No freedom, only Control over the masses, because we know better than they do.
Middle class Americans who play by the rules are treated as piggy banks for the lazy, ignorant and unskilled

We are paying to have our country stolen from us.
Excellent article.
It is beyond sad to watch how corrupt politicians get away with acts that truly horrify people who have grown up believing in the principles upon which this once great country was founded. We say jokingly that Richard Nixon must be spinning in his grave, but, we know deep down in our hearts that Nixon, Kennedy, Eisenhower, and Truman would not recognize the United States of America as it is today.
Bttt.

Personally, I would like to see a major currency crisis and debt default. It would be hell, but as long as we have an unbacked, fiat currency, massive government debt and a Federal Reserve in control of it all - the statist-lefitst-globalist-progressive-nanny state will always have the upper hand via control of the monetary system.
I think we should all agree that the best way to deal with the UN is for the Chinese to build a new headquarters for the UN in Beijing. Then we can encourage the UN to move *there* for a minimum of 75 years.
Except for voting for the Korean War, the UN has been nothing but an expensive waste to honor tin pot dictators and encourage the worst of the rest of the primitive world. And while Americans are endlessly tolerant of their antics, it would be hilarious to see how the Chinese would deal with it.
Well said.
