Lets say Obama sadly wins reelection this november 6th, 2012.
Do you think its possible the Red States especially the South could declare succession and start the 2nd civil war in this country?
States that could do that include. Texas/South/North Carolina/Tennessee/Flordia/Georgia/Alabama/Mississippi/Arkansas/Virginia/Oklahoma/Kansas/Nebraska/North/South Dakota/Utah/Idaho/Montana/Indiana/Kentucky/Ohio/Arizona are all red states that could potentially join along.

Do you think this could happen in response to the ever increasing Bureacracy of Washington?
It seems like were losing our Freedoms left and right.
Now the internet could be turned off this summer etc.

Just my two cents worth... Utah is often referred to as the redest state in the country. As a native Utahn, I can no more see Utah wishing to secede from the United States than I can see myself running for President. It would never, ever in a million years, happen.

It would never happen no matter who gets elected. Most sane people don't believe the rhetoric that the far right puts out daily about Obama wanting to destroy the country.

Obama is destroying this country.
Best source to prove it: HISTORY
Communism/Liberalism dont work! when they run out of other peoples money they collasp.
Look at Greece and the Eurozone. Its about to collasp and send us into a Depression.
So again liberalism doesnt work remember the Communist Soviet Union?
Where is that country today? oh thats right it split up. Heck Corruption in socialist russia is everywhere and protestors are out in the streets.
More and more people are getting government handouts than ever before and yet we have plenty of job openings in the country. over 3M and somehow our unemployment wont go down? Nanny state take 2.

Mitt Romney knows how to fix these fundamental problems in the United States. Read our constitution and understand how our Republic Government is setup.

News flash: The United States of America will be here long after Barack Obama is gone. Everybody ought to keep that in mind, if they have one.

It's not just Obama destroying the country. It's the political class in general.

Romney couldn't find his own ass with both hands and a hunting dog. He will do little other than continue the destructive policies of Bush and Obama.

Electing a closeted liberal will do nothing to benefit the nation.

Partisan BS sucks regardless whether it's generated by the right or the equally clueless left.

There will be a 2nd Civil war if we continue going down this path, but it will not be North vs South. The Civil wars will be on the "Have" vs "Have Not" or I should say solvent states vs insolvent states.
