Are we smarter than the Russians?

[Zippyjuan]

sure that could happen

or not. did you notice how many "republican" state governors are accepting federal "stimulus" money?

22 governors, iirc.

thats 1/2 the US that has said it is willing to forgoe its freedoms in exchange for money.

what do you think the other 1/2 will do?

Red states tend to receive more government money than the taxpayers in their state send to Washington while blue states tend to send more money in than they get back. Republicans are not shy about taking things from others to benefit themselves.

As far as I know, Putin is the only world leader that is blaming the U.S for the global recession.

If Montana, my home state, were to succede, we would become the world's 4th largest nuclear power. There are hundereds of silos beneath our eastern plains.

How long do you think the newly independent state of Montana would hold those nukes, if they could even get ahold of them to begin with (which is highly unlikely)?

A day, tops? Probably less, a brigade from the 82nd Airborne would be there in a matter of hours.

No you are not smarter than the Russians. The Russians fight their government all the time. 1905, 1917, 1991, 1993.

When was the last time for Americans? 1791?

How has that worked out for the Russians? Have they been more successful than the USA?

BTW, I think you left out the Civil War.

I am willing to move to the first state which has the balls to secede

I'll go to. I would love to be in a free society with a TRUE free market. Self determination and hard work would be rewarded for a change.
