If a state or states secedes today, would you join the federales in quelling those states righters?
If the states seceeded so they could forcibly put captives on the auction block,,, would you go out there to defend it? If so,,,explain how that is different than radical islam.
The most likely reason a state would secede in present-day America would be due to demographics in the southwestern U.S. In such areas, many illegal immigrants claim the territory was "stolen" from Mexico. With the current birthrate trend, it is likely those states would have a Hispanic plurality in the near future. When spanish-speaking residents outnumber non-spanish speaking residents, there will be strong sympathy for severing ties with the United States and transforming the state into a third world style Latin American republic. The millions of Americans living in those states who do NOT speak spanish would then be forced to learn spanish and assimilate to the culture of Latin America (or more likely) would be expelled from places they were born and lived their whole lives. So if Arizona or Texas decide to "secede" and form La Republica del Norte, I take it you'd be squarely on the side of the "reconquista" crowd that wants to turn the southwestern U.S.A. into Mexico II? Sounds like you and National Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán should have lunch together sometime and discuss your shared contempt for "yankees", the pledge of allegiance (especially the "indivisible" line), and the American flag.
