Secession talk just getting started (Texas)

While we all see the dire direction of the nation, it might be premature to assume a "war" is the only way out. As long as we are free to teach our children our values, to invest in pursuit of those things important to us, free to purchase and use goods (including fuel) as we see fit, and free to worship God (or not) according to the religion of our choice openly and freely, without fear of repression or charges of "hate speech" according to the tenets of the competing religion of humanism, I see no reason to fight - assuming the other side would likewise prefer a peaceful resolution.

That's the best option, give them the Northeast and the Left Coast and we take the rest. We cut each other loose is the best option. We can still be friends, trade, work in space together and if they grow a pair. work together in NATO, but it is increasingly impossible for them and us to live in the same house. I hope we can be friends, but if not, I'd keep the M1 Garand loaded and the nukes on a hair trigger for just in case.
