There is a lot of doom and gloom over the collapse over the Yankee run federal government. I think it's imminent. They've over-extended themselves into a new Great Depression.

Now, history repeats itself, and if the Great Depression can repeat itself, I think the War of Northern Aggression can repeat itself. If the federal government tries to implement some bill to do something wholely incompatible and offensive to good folks, like, I don't know, repeal the second amendment. "Hey, guns hurt people, folks. Don't use them. We've gotten rid of our citizen's right to own guns in New York and look how great it is there"...I think everywhere past the Mason-Dixon line would revolt at once.
A 3rd American Revolution, just waiting to happen. The South can rise again. We don't need these Yankee problems and debts, and the federal government will burden us with it's debts. Forget join or die, we're like Chang and Eng, the two conjoined twins. Either we cut the healthy one free of the dying, or we die with it.

I never said anything about red or blue, political orientation is a sham entirely. What we need to do is withdraw from the Union. And since when was Alaska a southern state?

We also have Texas on our side.

The South will rise again?

What the hell are you on about?

It really sad that there are still people around with your kind of mentality.

Is this another one of those succession threads?



If so, it ain't going to happen. Remember the old adage, "United we stand, divided we fall"? If any state starts pulling away from the nation, then the nation weakens as a whole. I don't believe that's the path any of us wants this country to meander.

A Yankee is a Yankee. I am not a republican, democrat, or any of the above. The system has failed us and will continue to fail us. And if we seceded from the Union, I'd like to see them try and take their infrastructure back. All the roads and lines and so on have been laid. Every county has power plants of it's own, across the state. And I'd think others to be similar. Thanks a lot, North, for the Reconstruction. Too bad it was General Sherman who necessitated that such a thing be needed.

The Federal government has a lot of people fooled into thinking we need them to control us, and make our laws for us. If the entire Union broke up, I'd have little problem with it beyond the general chaotic nature of the situation.

Yeah good luck with that. Florida will stick with the Union and considering that the Fed is one of Texas largest employers so will they. You can have Alabama, Arakansa, Kentucky, and the rural areas of Georgia.

No Texas won't go with the Fed. And just where does everyone think the government gets the money that it gives to the states - from the residents of those states. We wouldn't need to get money back from the government, we would just keep it to start with.

The military is a huge employer in states like Texas. If you secede how are you going to employee all those people when they're no longer part of the US military?
