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.
North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Florida and Indiana were not red states in 2008. They all went for Obama.

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.


Which side do you think, wins that war?



Texas/South/North Carolina/Tennessee/Flordia/Georgia/Alabama/Mississippi/Arkansas/Virginia/Oklahoma/Kansas/Nebraska/North/South Dakota/Utah/Idaho/Montana/Indiana/Kentucky/Ohio/Arizona



Looks like that would turn us into 3 nations, the west coast would be split from the NE

I'm more worried about the media than Obama. His time in office is at least limited. We're stuck with the sorry state of journalism.

A million years is a long time, however.

If alternative, locally produced energy becomes viable, on a smaller scale but repeatable from local economy to local economy, then, yes, at that point a break-up becomes more possible.

But not today.

Good Luck!

If we continue down the path to dictatorship, it is possible.
