Considering that the majority of our military is filled with Southerners.

We need Union soldiers to march on Washington to help restore the constitution, arrest its usurpers and thus save the Union from a domestic enemy that desires to destroy its citizens.

Forget it. How much food do you think the north gets from the south? Not much. Is the south self-sufficient? Nope. Would the teeming cities in the south riot and burn themselves down? Yep. In the event of some kind of civil war between regions, whose side do you suppose the west would be on?

The entire debate is a moot point anyway. The divide isn't south vs. north anymore, it's conservative vs. liberal, and to a much lesser extent, rural vs. urban.

Grow very little of their own food?

State of Michigan would survive very nicely. They might have to smuggle in some onions from Georgia (Valdavias).

Of course they have many folks from the South living there now, so raising an army might be problematical. Also, many "snowbirds" have replaced the "carpetbaggers."

Just a few laughs to lighten up the day from a guy who's been both places.

Well, bring it on. They’ll need a lot more than good luck.

Asking for a full frontier lobotomy, is he? Say a one inch cranial drill bit applied strategically to the skull would allow access to misfiring brain cells for removal. Who the f does this illegitimate child slang term think he is.

CA,WA,OR would be with the yankees, but how do they get that food to the NE through our territories?

Between FL and TX the south could take care of itself just fine. But it wouldn’t take that long.

Just shutting down trucking, and train routes to the NE for 6 months, and the war is over

CA’s San Joaquin valley supplies 60% of fresh produce to this country. FL, and TX could easily pick up the slack.

The answer to your first question is they get most of their food from somewhere south and west of them. A blockade would starve them quickly.

Let’s talk about libtards moving into Red States to spread the noxious disease of liberalism.

It’s hilarious how these dipwads claim that Southerners are still fighting the Civil War when THEY are the ones obsessed with it. Most of us don’t even think about the war, we just live our lives. However, if these knuckledraggers want to start another war, we will oblige. I’m afraid they won’t like the result, though.

You’re right of course.

What I was saying, slightly tongue in cheek was shut off the transportation systems (Trucking and Rail) to the NE, and I believe they’d be in such disarray in 6 months they wouldn’t be able to fight.

People would be amazed how easy it would be to accomplish.

It’s actually scary when you consider terrorist activities.

Plus more rural and Southern boys are in the military than liberal urban Northerners.

Yeah cuz we dont grow food north of the mason dixon line or anything like that.

I seriously laugh out load when I read internet chest thumpers talking about a redo of the civil war from EITHER side.

I mean seriously...if you want to fight liberals they are already in your state running the metropolis areas...

If you want to fight other conservatives in Ohio....that’s just silly.

The other point is the assumption that all things would break down into the same sides as in 1860...when the same reality doesnt exist 150 years later.

How about we build a wall around DC and call it a draw?

And?....you expect the Military to start killing your fellow Americans?

Do you expect them to violate their oath to defend the United States from enemies both foriegn or domestic?

Are you really that damaged?

Nope...your enemy is already on your doorstep and he isnt a blue belly...his name is Dindo Nuffins or Johny Jihad.
