We’re not one nation now.

When a nation was that was founded on a set of common ideals- the Judeo- Christian ethos, the Lokean trilogy of life, liberty and property, the rule of law as a restraint on power, and the right of man to government himself, no longer holds those ideals in common, what logically follows is dissolution.

For many in the MOB, the MOB IS their job!

They are being paid by Soros et al to BE in and run the MOB!

As Dan Bongino says, most of us have been hardened. The left is soft. They are not prepared for the hell they will unleash when they cross the wrong person.

Let them lay a finger on my daughter, and they will find a way to breath through orafices that were not designed for breathing because that’s the only airway they will have. They better hope I get to them first. I’ll just make them suffer for a few hours or days. My fiancee might find them and remove them to a location she can spend whatever time she wants to cause them more pain than they know how to handle.

As for the rest, put a hand on her, and they could kiss it bye.

And we’re gentle. Imagine if they cross someone who isn’t tame. It’s coming. So far, we’ve all held back. They don’t know what they’re asking for.

I completely agree.

When I am alone, I am not likely an issue, but threaten my loved ones and I could make any ruthless serial killer look like an alter-boy.

Hat tip to your fiancée. ;>)

Splitting up the country that way would be a disaster for the economy.

If you have skills and training and the place you can use them is a few miles away, but on the other side of the wall, you'd have to go through checkpoints or wait until a plant is built on your side of the wall, and even then it may be miles away on the other side of the city.

But of course, separation isn't going to happen. Most people aren't that into politics.

P.S. F.H. Buckley isn't the lost Buckley brother. He's a guy originally from Saskatoon. Of course he wants the US to break up.

The Left does not WANT it to remain standing if it will not become a Leftist Paradise. We must be punished for our sins, in their eyes, of course. They want to take over, obviously, but they will take a smoldering wreck in its place as an acceptable second choice.
