I'm seeing a lot of comments today along the lines of, " The red states should consider secession", and "Civil War 2 is coming".
To those saying such things: I can only hope that you're self-aware enough to realize that you're simply venting. There isn't the slightest chance that the US is going to break up in the next 4 years because of the re-election of Obama.
On the off-chance I'm wrong, please contact me in advance of your attack on Fort Sumter.
I agreee with you. And what, 8 years later I still haven’t posted a vanity. Unless you consider live debate or election threads a vanity.
“I think, at some point, an amicable divorce might be worked out.”
I’m not an advocate of secession. I simply want to hear it seriously debated by people who are probably a lot smarter than myself. It’s something that should be discussed if for no other reason than to summarily dismiss it from the list of alternatives.
But I’m also of the view that the philosophical differences between the makers and the takers are for the most part irreconcilable. It’s also been my observation that irreconcilable differences usually end in divorce.
