Memo to the South: Go Ahead, Secede Already!

[alucard13mmfmj]

When their experiment fails it will be our fault

They might blame us for having most of the usable land or manufacturing base that they ran away

 

[Demigod]

Why don't the liberals just move to Europe? Everything they want is already in place.

Yes because Americans who think they know it all are so popular in Europe.I can't think of a single country that would accept them.

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

know it all Americans thnk they are popular in europe

My secret dream:

Breakaway Quebec forms a natural "land barrier" between the Ottawa government and the Maritimes.

NH, VT and ME secede and form an "Atlantic Alliance" or what have you, with the Canadian Maritimes.

Joy.

U.N. invades, razes the place, murders 2/3 of the population, posts "mission accomplished", repatriates the territories, pats self on back and goes home to masturbate with single-minded fury.

No soup for breakaway terrorists who believe in liberty.

England's accepting every other cockroach on the planet. They are dumber than even American progressives. if such a thing can be believed.

The funny thing is if the South did leave and become as economically free as say Singapore or Hong Kong and then the economy takes off while the North falters they will start to blame the south.

If it happened it would be a great case study on the virtues of capitalism. We could see a prospering south while a collapsing North with refugees piling to get into Texas for example.

I would love to see this happen. Secession is the way to go.

Only problem is demographics are changin and things wouldnt be so clear cut with state lines.

What states go what states stay? Some of the Norther-southern states are turning into swing states or have gone completely blue already (Virginia, Missouri, North Carolina etc etc. You can also forget Maryland and Delaware) and then what about Florida? Only the Northern half? Whole Peninsula? Even in places like Texas the statist plague has taken hold in major cities and this is true in many areas of the south.

They are destroying the possibility of a clean peaceful succession with a demographic war.

 

[tod evans]

Flood all the major cities first...



[edit]

Or just sit back and wait for 'em to burn...

 

[Working Poor]

Quiet, you, don't tip them off...they are almost ready to leave.

lol...lol I hope so.

I think you mean US invading because there is no such thing as a UN invading force.All the UN is used for is for blaming things on it when some government wants to do something that they know is highly unpopular so they can blame it on the UN for making them do it.

Not to mention that currently not a single nation except the USA could scramble a navy large enough to invade a country except the USA.

When Texas turns blue, which it will within a few years, the jig is up. Game over. Pack up your tents. Good game. We tried.

If a place like freakin texas can turn blue. Our nation is truly fucked... like raw-dog-federal-prison-fucked.
I would love to see this happen. Secession is the way to go.

Oh, I forgot, no New Jersey "Half - Backs" either.

That's the big problem with the author's premise.

Everybody that can, are leaving the places he thinks are the best thing since sliced bread, and moving where?

Red State USA...mostly, with side trips to Northern New England to fuck us up, in NH, ME and VT as well.

Hmm I moved to ME. But I fit in fine and don't bother anyone.

If the south or TX really did secede I'd probably go there.

Give it 2 more election cycles. Itll be blue. We are heading for a one party state the way things are going.

Used to be a solid blue state.

 

[gwax23]

Different party then. There was just a switch. North Went Blue and south went Red. This time though another state wont go red to replace Texas going blue.

 

[supermario21]

Missouri is solid red now, at least on a federal level. Also keep in mind if something as awesome as secession were to happen you'd probably see tons of liberals leave.

 

[Christian Liberty]

It would make my Carolina heart swell with joy and pride to see the south make another gambit toward independence.

And my sincere hope is that all the good, freedom-minded northerners (of whom I know there are many) will join us this time.

I'll join you

Let's trade, New York can take Graham (They are, of course, free to indefinitely detain him without trial if they have the mind), the new libertarian republic gets me.

As bad as it is now, flocking to the South while they elect President Santorum into office doesn't seem any better.

Yeah, that's true...

Give it 2 more election cycles. Itll be blue. We are heading for a one party state the way things are going.

We're already a one party state. It just has two names.

Missouri is solid red now, at least on a federal level. Also keep in mind if something as awesome as secession were to happen you'd probably see tons of liberals leave.

True, but we'd still be stuck with the neo-progressives.

We have plenty of neo-cons to throw out still.

 

[Philhelm]

By this point, I could care less about such people.

In other words, he will turn a blind eye when the government of his choosing begins literally killing his political rivals.

 

[Athan]

We shall call it 'Merica.
Fuck yeah!

(P.s.We will re-establish the Rio Grande Republic, a southern state under Texas' flag. Awww yisss.)
