Governor Rick Perry was once alleged to have stated that Texas could secede in the future. But he now states he opposes succession:

If the different states were to become different nations, the federal government would cease to exist. That means that the federal debt would be reduced to Zero. But the price that Americans would pay, would be the loss of super power status. Would Americans be better off or worse off, if the states were to become different countries?
If in your hearts of hearts you think FedGov would/could ever pull the nuclear trigger on a city like Dallas, then you should be leading the charge for the dissolution if the USA....
And sorry for screwing up the HTML.
There, fixed it for you.

This is fundamentally untrue.
The moocher class, and the other assorted liberal groups are incapable of fighting a war.
Their power comes from how much everyone respects the vote.
I would suggest the right has far more physical power and could easily stand up and make the left's life miserable enough to leave us alone
It is the endless cowardice of the right which is our Achilles's heel.
I would argue that the time for secession has passed. The only way left open is rebellion and revolution. And we are talking French Revolution, NOT American Revolution.
I don’t claim to have graduated from West Point. I claim to have attended. I also attended Rensselaer Polytechnic and SW Missouri State and Cal Tech (Center for Technology and Management Education).
Evangel College was the name of Evangel University when I attended and graduated, in Springfield. I also graduated from Univ of Arizona and Cal State Fresno.
So nice that you care.

A pretend education.
see it’s a liberal/democrat/socialist . I can spot them a mile away
So what is your plan to fund the new Louisiana Sovereign government? How many people in New Orleans do you plan to shoot so they don’t vote benefits for themselves? What will you do to keep the Mississippi from flooding?
How do you intend to protect your people? How do you plan to keep people from the other states out? How do you plan to pay off your share of the national debt? How do you imagine that your agricultural products will sell in the US after they suffer a tax to come across the border?
Yeah your socialist plan is working so well huh ? what are your socialist programs being funded with , massive exploding debt. how will that work out. collapse that's how. Also you are taxing us at almost 60% of our incomes.
we don't need huge taxes , nor government. but you think we do .why do you trust government? you don't think this huge govenrment is a threat to our freedom and is oppressing us . why are you so happy being a slave of the government and want us enslaves also .who are we to you . leave us alone and go be a slave to the federal government in your socialist utopia
No, just the dissolution of the current anti-constitutional regime, and their progressive enablers in (what used to be) our own party.
A remunerative education, that continued over the years, obtained through persistance, ROTC scholarships, Vietnam Era GI Bill, and company compensations.
Jack Northrop spelled his last name with two “o”s There is a Northrup company but it is different.
Then you don’t have a need for an insurrection. Rather you have a need to win elections.
In that you have my support.

we have a right to secede and you don't worry about us ok just worry about your stupid government blowing up the debt and oppressing you. we can take care ourselves just as people did on this continent from 1600 to 1900 and at other time and don't need socialism nor your oppressive government to take care of us as you believe it to be the case (cause you are a collectivist/statist/socialist you think big government is the solution to every problem
Then you need to win elections to reduce the tax rates.
One aspect of pre-income tax funding of the government was their selling of western lands. Doing that supplemented the government’s income until the closing of the frontier, acting in lieu of taxes.
One Fredrick Jackson Turner wrote about that, and how it would change America.
They got away with gunning down an unarmed mentally ill woman with a small child in broad daylight in the nations capital...they were even congratulated by lawmakers.
All the vilification of the "tea party" is really vilification of those who would "hurt" the government. I don't think anyone would bat an eye if the White House said to kill conservatives...not in those words maybe...but framed the right way.
Oh, and I am not a socialist. They are not my plans.
They were put in place in large part by Democrats from the Southern states.
