Well, there are several states that I wouldn't miss, and a whole lot of leftist libs that I'd like to get rid of, but I'm not willing to let a bunch of foreigners like Soros, 0bama and the mexican hordes destroy MY Country!
See how they yell and stomp their feet, forcing their ideology on the rest of us. Not concerned at all about some losing jobs,(Brandon Eich) careers, going to jail on false accusations,(AK Senator Stevens(?) and Tom Delay,)and losing business' and homes.(the florist and cake baker in OR and WA)
Look how Obama ruled along with his cabinet members and lieutenants. Just at the EPA alone, sue and settle, tons of environmental groups board members hired at the EPA, to force by decree, you do not own your land serfs, we have the final say. Leftists are the worst on property rights.
keep ‘em separated.
Discussion of breaking up the USA is obfuscation of the need to actually follow its constitution and dispose of the bags of shit actively working to destroy it.
A voice of reason...
There is no way to enslave a man whose mind is free.
you say, “United we stand.
Divided we fall.
Simple as that..................”
But it is not that simple. What should be done if the passengers learn that the crew of the ship are drilling holes in the hull, and otherwise sabotaging the ship, the engine, the sails?
At some point we will not be able to patch it up fast enough. What then? Go down with the ship? Mutiny?
These are serious and legitimate questions to your canned and flippant remark.
The North didn't go to war to end slavery. As late as August of 1862, Lincoln was still willing to let the South keep slavery. What he wasn't willing to do was to allow the South to engage in European trade without paying the Union Tariffs.
The Threat to the North was not slavery, it was money. The South accounted for 3/4ths of all the European trade in 1860, but 40% of all the South produced income ended up in New York.
If the South became independent, that 40% extra profit would have financed industries that would have competed with Northern Industries. It would have wreaked economic havoc on the North Eastern industrialists, so the Union could not afford to allow the South to become economically independent.
The war was really over money, but the propaganda war made it appear as if the fight was over slavery.
Yes, because the North did want to end the practice because slavery is an evil (and indefensible) practice.
