I could appreciate the other 56 states getting together to invite Texas to leave the union. No division necessary. And not to worry, no need to imply giving it back to Mexico. Texas would survive suitably without the Mexican state.
Texas is one of only a handful of states which could survive as an independent nation economically. The only others are California, New York, and Florida (although an independent NY would be very difficult to achieve considering state boundaries in the region ; having to cross border checkpoints to go across the Hudson would be very inconvenient.)
According to this map it looks like Arizona already seceded!
Considering the insane political climate in AZ I wouldn't be surprised if AZ threatens to secede soon, or at least if Brewer exercises her right to nullify federal laws.
Perhaps Somalia would be the ideal nation for the right wing of the republican party. There is very little government, no welfare or entitlement programs. Everyone is allowed to have guns of any sort they want and people are either self sufficient or dead.
Spmalia is in the shape it is because of big government.
Somalia had a corrupt and oppressive government before it was dissolved in the early 90s. I used to cling to the same stereotype you do when it came to Somalia, but the country is not all bad;

I don't think the Somalians would be too welcoming. After all the Conservatives tend to be Christians.

And the old USSR is good for the moonbats of the leftist democrat party? They just let the gov't control everything and only the gov't elite have a decent life?

Nah, never work. Even the Russian communists don't like the communists any more.
Sure is a lot of adversity between Dems and Repubs these days, in fact its getting down right hostile, i can only see the rift getting wider and nothing in the foreseeable future looks like the two sides are going to get together and work together for the betterment of Americans, Saw a post recently on some forum maybe this one that alluded to Secession of some states from the union, could that be a more viable solution/answer than the two sides being at each others throats for the foreseeable future? and if Secession was to happen how would the country be carved up? NE/SE/NW/SW?
We tried this back in 1861 remember? The secessionist got their asses whipped.
Look, we are in the midst of a national debate. It's going to heated, ugly and possibly violent. This country will go one way or another. There is simply too wide of divergence in values, understanding and philosophies. I've already decided that if this country moves in a direction that doesn't suit my long term economic interest or fits my political values I'll just leave. There are too many great places in the world to live to be stuck somewhere that doesn't embrace political values that I can be aligned with. Besides from an economic standpoint it looks like several other countries have much brighter futures than America does.

And likewise, your caricature of conservatives leaves a lot to be desired.
