I highly doubt he had the breakdown correct, but predicting the breakup itself when he did would be notable.

I agree.

I think the south and especially TX is where it's begining. Gov. Richardson brought up the topic of seceeding and has pointed out the socialist direction of the fed govt. The fact he wasn't laughed off the podium and discussion followed indicates a ground swell slowly building.

Hopefully America wakes up and better and more adult heads get put into power.

I don't see it happening long term. We have a majority of people who don't pay income tax and expect to receive benefits without paying for them. We may see a resurgence of conservatism based on social policy, but the long term fiscal dependance will win out.

There may be some who bluster about who owns the guns, or who is better prepared for chaos, but the fact is, that chaos would be very ugly for all involved.

I don't believe it will get to that. Liberals only fight when their sons and daughters aren't at risk. The US military will not fire on American citizens and conservatives will not shoot at the police or military.

I think it's more likely that through protests, legal action and defiance that the libs will just say it's not worth the trouble. Once one state opts out the adjoining states will be able to and eventually the country will split.
