We know what failed the South, lack of manufacturing. Now, the country as a whole lacks manufacturing on a large scale. Before seceding, make sure you have a way to manufacture big guns, planes and ammo ‘cause we’ll be fighting not only the rest of the US but probably the UN bluehats. I’m all for it and would hope the rest of the Southern states would join in but we will go to war so we must be prepared.
Native Texan who relocated to the peoples republic of Massachusetts because of my wife. I have been here 1 1/2 years and it is sad to see what the birthplace of the revolution has become; a lost cause. With that being said it is evident to me that I will eventually have to move back the Republic of Texas. This is the text of my email to friends and family scattered about the country.
“It is already starting. Based on the “stimulus” package passed on Friday the 13th (appropriate date), the final nail has been placed in the coffin of a once great republic. I forsee dark clouds ahead which will lead to prolonged severe depression, food shortages and riots. The seeds have been sown for the revolution that is inevitable now.

We have two choices. We can stand pat and continue to see our liberties, freedom and wealth continue to be stolen from us by our marxist government. Or we can draw a line in the sand and stand up for our inalienble rights and break away from from the tyranny that has become our federal government. It is only apporpriate that it begin in Texas, which will become a republic once again, and one day we may all need to follow in the footsteps of Davey Crockett when he said ‘..you may go to hell, I am going to Texas!’”
Perhaps that's a good thing. Maybe our jobs will come back.
