Screw NYC
I’m rather looking forward to calling myself a citizen of the Republic Of Texas.
I suppose if they ask *really* nice, we’ll take Oklahoma and annex them.... Sorry, Louisiana, but I think you need to be sold back to the French. :D
It's only the world's longest surviving Republic. No empirical evidence there to point out that he's just wrong.
lack of unified national laws
This moron clearly hasn't noticed that the Federal Government runs EVERYTHING, down to the type of fuel I can put in my lawn mower.
divisions among the elite
He's right about that.
He predicted that the U.S. will break up into six parts - the Pacific coast, with its growing Chinese population; the South, with its Hispanics; Texas, where independence movements are on the rise; the Atlantic coast, with its distinct and separate mentality; five of the poorer central states with their large Native American populations; and the northern states, where the influence from Canada is strong.
The only problem with that prediction is that the Coasts rely on the producers in the rest of the country for their tax dollars. As my buddy always says "All them ticks and no dog? Ain't never gonna happen".
He even suggested that "we could claim Alaska - it was only granted on lease, after all."
Go ahead - Make My Day. You'd have every heavily armed redneck on the North American continent up there within a week, pissed off and ready to push you right back into the Bering Sea.
If it breaks up, I’m heading south.
And then we'll help the Yankees pack up and move to their part of the country. Amen.
Me too, even the midwest has become polluted.
Why wait?
