And if the South took "its share" of the Armed Forces, it'd be a fair speculation whether what was left -- saddled as it would be by Hollywood, DC, and The New York Times -- would be able or willing to defend itself.
Of course, the prospect of splitting up the United States is something the Chinese would drool over.
Y'know I know how we could cure THAT disease:
Stoke up every evangelical congregation in America with the determination to preach and evangelize like all Hell were comin' in 2008. I mean go at it whole hog; old-style bible-thumpin', gospel singin', hellfire and brimstone preachin', and big tent revival meetings ALL OVER the country; non-stop. Get it drummed up so thick nobody can drive to 7-11 without having to go past a tent meeting. Get the college and university campus ministries all tied in with swarms of outdoor Christian band concerts all with an overtly evangelistic tone.
If people like these two bozo's, Miller and Bositis are going to be all bigoted about a mass secularization of the GOP, then I think the much maligned 'Christian Right' needs to just get back to The Book, crack open a fat ol' can of Holy Ghost baptism and make a real blood-bought, hanky-wavin' an' shoutin' Hallelujah scene of it. These people talk like Chrsitians are all just a pack of pea-patch bumpkins; well I say we get our mojo workin' from coast to coast and show 'em what a ruckus we can stir up when we really intend to. These pikers ain't seen nothin'.
MAN, you want to see a pack of RINOs and their liberal bedfellows squirm? Everywhere they went they'd feel like they were bein' roasted on a spit. You keep that action going solid for the next two full years and an entire generation of leftists will just shut up about Christians from then on out for fear of stirring up another episode. Probably a bunch of 'em 'd get saved in spite of themselves, too.
Now THAT'S a strategy for thinning the ranks of the opposition.
