Tell me, Irish hypocrite, if the old South was to gain her sovereignty and created a limited week Federal govt and actually followed the original intent of the USC, and also outlawed welfare, would you want to live there?

Like that would ever happen even if they did secede.

I think there is a major flaw in the secession idea.

In 1860 the country was divided regionally. With the significant exception of the border states, people in each region were, initially at least, 85% to 95% supportive of “their side.” This includes the South, where blacks didn’t qualify as “people” in a political sense, even where they were a majority.

Today the situation is completely different. I doubt any state in the country has much more than a 2/3 majority for either side. We’re divided ideologically, not regionally.

If a southern state successfully seceded, it would have a minimum 1/3 minority that was utterly opposed. How do you run a society on that basis? Do you expel people for having the “wrong” political opinions? Do you prosecute the “treason” of thinking differently? Do you conduct ethnic and/or ideological cleansing?

If you do, what happens to the notion of the American ideal of the government serving the people? Sounds like you’d be forced into a political position where you’d have to define some people out of “the people.” And if you do that, you aren’t American anymore.

IMO.

Hypocrite? I'm an American. You advocate treason.

But no worries. You are just one more jackal outside the campfire. I guess a few fringe scavengers always are. Too weak and cowardly to do any harm to this great nation.
America has fared far worse than a few blowhards on the Internet with visions of their own petty little fiefdoms.

Yup! None like you be around! Thats incentive enough.

I see the trollies are out in force. Holder and his maggot parasites must be worried about the states rights movement. We won on the birther side, 60% of America believes Obama was born ex juris, which is why the Getty photo sites on the web are now displayig a plethora of photos of parasite Obama juxtaposed with paintings of Abraham Lincoln in the Whore House. ( That won't work either.)And we will win the states rights move as well. In 5 to 10 years time you will see constitutional amendment to that effect. Liberal fascism will be dead and will have gleaned its reaction to Cloward Piven, and its Utopians? They will be quiet or dead.Including these trollies.

Dance on their graves now Irish, they earned it.
