It doesn’t *have* to mean Civil War, and I’m sure the liberals would be glad to see Texas go.
That said, given the state of the union and the socialist path that the country is going down, would civil war really be such a bad thing? The South has most of the manufacturing, tech, and design/tech centers now, as well as most of the petroleum and natural gas reserves. Texas itself has nuclear weapons and the means to build more (Pantex). The North has.... um.... Obama?
There is the 48% of the north that obama does not have.
Think again. As the author stated, secession talk makes libs furious because it trumps their power grabs. They can't stand the idea that people would be able to escape their control.
IOW's modern-day Fort Sumpter.
Don’t forget that there’s a West to the North-South equation now. I imagine every western state besides Washington, Oregon, and California would join the “rebels”, and a lot of cow counties within those Pacific states would break off, too.
“The North has.... um.... Obama?”

Don’t misunderestimate the North, they also have Bony Fwank, Joe Biden, Charlie Rangel, Hillary, Rahm and a host of other fearsome monsters.
