Tell Kid Rock to take Michigan off the shirt. Wisconsin too. As of last Tuesday, they’re enemy territory.

Alright...and we can turn off the water from the COlorado River to California and let’s see if you can survive. Especially since you decided that a bullet train is more important that desalinization plants.

And when they can’t support themselves, they will be invading our space. Demanding food, water, oil, and money.

Walter E. Williams wrote an article on that years ago. Probably during the reign of the Clinton Crime Cartel,

No they won’t. We’re all human. Something else will piss us off to be outraged about. I’m persoanlly sick and tired about all this “the country is divided talk”. We are 300+ million people....we’re not all going to think alike. As a matter of fact it would be horribly boring if we were all the same. There have been plenty of other times in our existence where “the break up of the Union was near”....it’s all the rage now on social media and liberal enclaves because they lost in 2016 and made minimal gains in the mid terms where they should have had a tsunami. And they’ll probably lose in 2020 and we’ll bear all this bellyaching ramped up even more.

How else do you explain the last elections. Even states such as Florida and Virginia are deeply split.

I think the problem is more the media and the dems.

The average person just wants to be left alone to raise their families and live in peace.

you’re right.

It’s the reason the other four boroughs wouldn’t let us secede when we wanted to.

it’s a microcosm of what you are talking about but it holds true.

the bums in the bronx and brooklyn NEED our blood, sweat and tears to pay for their welfare.

they eye us with bitterness and jealousy and don’t consider us part of NYC which i say THANK YOU for.

if we had seceded and thrived, it would have driven them crazy.

it’s not the best example, but i’m sure it’s the same in many states or cities or townships

one part working hard so the other part can do nothing.

war WOULD ensue if we broke off into nation states.

you’re right

We built this. They just parasite off of it.
It is ours. All of it. Running away wont work. Running away will still require much bloodshed. Might as well do the bloodshed and keep the land.

It is possible this would happen if some sort of Obamaesque government would make NYC the provisional capitol and call on the UN and NATO to assist in putting down the rebellion. The arrival of foreign militarize via LAX, SFIO, SEATAC and the airports of Chicago and NYC-Newark as well as in San Francisco Bay and New York harbor would really turn the conflict into a real war with significant parts of the armed forces defecting to the ‘rebels’. It would be really bloody and wars tend to escalate upwards in the scale of violence. This could well happen.

I’m amazed you think that would work. The Left wants it all.

Not doable - the Democrats are mostly in the big cities - they need the rural areas for raw materials, suburbs, travel etc. Republicans are mostly (though not only) rural, they need the cities for trade etc.

You split up the two and both will be much much poorer.

it would be nice if a few states were solidly conservative.....both morally and financially....

we'd have to have some kind of law that citizens of the state get the first rights to buying land/farms/houses/businesses within the state, and secretly, we'd have to only sell to fellow patriots...

Did you expect the USSC in 1869, to say that the Lincoln government was wrong after 4 years of war and thousands of lives lost?

Looks like this is the only way to prevent CW III.

CW III should be CW II.

Education is the key.

Kids today don’t feel the patriotic stirrings of generations past. For the “whatever” generation, it makes no difference if those distant bigwigs in Washington are communists, capitalists or chemists. They were never taught what is right with America, only what is wrong.

That needs to be fixed, pronto.
