If power is continuously sucked away from the states by the federal government than a split will be the only viable option. A united states can only exist with strong and flexible states.

I think America will split apart for reasons that are not yet clear today.One possible reasons is that there are WAY to many hispanics in America.

I feel like I'm reading a bunch of 12 year olds post about forming a club with just their bff's and not the kids they don't like.
Just think about it. If breaking up the country based on personal political beliefs still makes sense to you just keep thinking...I am confident that eventually some of those brain cells will kick into high gear and you will have an "aha" moment and realize how ridiculous it would be.

Today, North Korea can't feed it's people and has to beg for heating oil. South Korea is exporting cars to the USA.
What about a totalitarian statist regime is liberal?

At first it seems like a great idea but it wouldn't be long before the commie coasts and Illannoy collapsed....

They would come to the Second US for a bailout and we would then likely end up laughing at them and telling them to lie in their beds they **** in...

They would then beg the beloved UN (Russian and Euro comms) to come in and rescue them on the east coast and the Chicoms on the west coast with Chavez and Mexicoms to the south...

We would be literally surrounded by commies of every stripe and killed....

Much better to fight these parasites here and secure the entire Republic...

Here's a vid from a guy who infiltrated weather underground, these guys are 0bama's buddies...

They figured back then they would need to kill about 25 million die hard capitalists... Todays figure due to population growth is about 41 million, there are about 41 million that identify as Tea Partiers...

I have started to kind of think that way myself. I never would have even thought of such a thing a few years ago but it might be a good idea at some point. Just like 2 people that fight, fuss and cannot agree on anything, they get a divorce. At some point we might do that too. As far as the south, I don't know why we fought to make them stay in a marriage they obviously hate even today. Let them go their own way.

Well since we stole about 1/6th of the country from Mexico, they would argue that we are in THEIR country and they have a point.

United? We are no longer a united people, there isn't much we have in common any more -- there is no common culture, no common language, no common beliefs. Many have no work ethic at all, expect a completely free ride on the backs of others they despise for working and trying to be successful. We're definitely not all in this together, some are here for a complete free ride, others are being overwhelmingly burdened.

In fact it's a kind of tyranny to force everyone into one giant empire, it's democracy and freedom to allow people a choice in how they will be governed.

Sure it's a viable option -- and inevitable. Look at the Soviet Union. It appeared strong and undivisible for a time but then it collapsed and fell back into individual states. And it's intolerance that is destroying this country -- the intolerance that athiests have for Christians, that big spending liberals have for conservatives and the intolerance that those who want the government to provide for them have for those who work for a living.
