We're clearly at a point where this country cannot stay together

True patriots in the house! What is that stench......oh yeah, the south burning again!

Eh...sarcasm.

Besides, i'm an African American from the North/Southwest. Trust me, i have ZERO sympathies with the American South. They were a bunch of clowns if you ask me.

And I can go so far as to say ANYONE suggesting secession in any form went to the same clown college

My Republican-owned cable company is suppressing MSNBC by charging more money for it. Nice ploy....

Once you sign up with "national socialism", you've gone over to the "left side".

What the **** you talking about?

Don't forget, multiple views are considered "socialist" by the wackos.

It has the west end of a horse.

Chest-beating macho bluster with nothing behind it. Seemingly from red-state twits who want us to think they are somehow self-sufficient.

1. Complete and total quagmire and self-destruction from politicking and banter in DC. A total mess.

3. We become a confederacy (lower case "c") with emphasis on states rights.

I think the best fix would be to eliminate the party system. The party system doesn't work most of the time just like a controlling union and management don't work most of the time. Instead of working for a better future for the business or country, it's a game about which side will get their way.

Maybe it'd force people to research the individual candidate instead of just reading which party he or she is from.

That's how things started out, and only a very few are cognizant of the fact or are questioning the present system. People don't want to change, but I would really like to explore it further, and get the idea out before the people.
Could it happen - I don't know. Thanks for bringing it up though.
