Keep this in mind if you think they'll let seceding states go peacefully.

Do you think that if Texas decided to secede the Federal Government would have the will to try and stop it, especially since they would be fighting Texans which are some of the most most tough minded individuals in the U.S.

But if they did, would American military units engage fellow citizens in combat, I don't think so, But say they do, would the surrounding states and citizens just stand by... I don't think so.

The left would DEMAND that Texas be destroyed for attempting to get out from under their thumb. Zero’s of this mindset, guaranteed.

And look how he’s been acting on the left’s demands to prosecute Bush.

Another interesting article I read the other day (JPFO?); If the Federal Government could convince the military and LEO to follow their lead (doubtful), they would be able to field around 1.5 million actually fighting troops... Facing a population with 65 million gun owners and with a core base of around 10 million patriots that would be the first to raise arms, the rest would follow when they saw where the flow was going.
