Personally, I think we made a huge mistake not letting them go when we had the chance back in 1862.

January 1861, actually. Idiots (and they are idiots) that don't learn from history are bound to repeat it.

You beat me to it.

Of course the idiotic writer also fails to realize that Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa (as well as some of Missouri) were key players FOR the North in the "War of Secession".

Of course, we all know, that History is NOT a required subject for the liberals.

We could have split up in 1862, although not peacefully.

As a matter of fact, it dang near happened.

Just like states rights in support of gay marriage.

The left is about rights/sovereignty only when it fits their limited agenda (gay marriage/abortion/atheism/socialism).
