Good, we get Texas, North Dakota, and Alaska and can raise your gas prices.
We can buy from plenty of places in the world that will gladly sell it to us cheap or cheaper. In fact, we will be saved from the dirty air blowing this way.......
I'm sure Venezuela wants to move some......We'll all have electric cars by the time this split happens anyway - plenty of renewables around. I just read that Mexico can sell renewable with no subsidy at about 2 cents per KWH.
Oil is just going to be for certain limited uses (mostly war). You guys can all blow yourselves up whilst we go boating and hiking and skiing.
Given how things turned out, sometimes wonder if we wouldn't all have been better off if Lincoln had just let it go.
Well, they sorta did. Lincoln was killed by the confeds and then Grant tried to impose the agreed upon terms on the South - and they wouldn't have it. Sorta like Indian Givers.
Sherman said the only way the South could be civilized (not racist in nature) would be to "off" every single confederate. Every one (I assume he meant males). Ethic cleansing. Now - that is certainly nothing I support, but he was right in that the South doesn't seem to be able to be civilized in certain ways...or, at best, it's taking a very long time.

leftists have been trying to keep it going for a while now even though its been over for 150+ years, taking down those confederate statues really helped out your life eh?
Well it seems that the extreme cases on both side of the political spectrum at least have one thing in common. Their anti American stance and hatred for one another. Who would've thought!
I'm so peeved with what the Democrats, Gaystapo/Transtapo, RINOs, Corporate Robber Barons, and Enviro-statists and Baby Killers are doing that I'm thinking it's time to make a second go because my patience is getting pretty thin.
I really wish that our side had our own private militias and protester mobs like the Left did.
The Left can't stand Trump and conservative. The Right can't stand Hillary and Democrats. We are increasingly refusing to be governed by what we view as the heavy-handed policies of the other side and I can see bloodshed coming in the future (I know the Left already considers it, and, if Obama was just a taste of what we could get if another Dem got in, I could see our side starting the shooting too.). If we cannot seem to agree enough to stay together, perhaps we should split right down the Mississippi or something.
Or perhaps we'll give the Democrats the West and East Coasts and we'll keep the Midwest and the South. You get Hawaii and we keep Alaska. Sound good? We'll even let you add Peurto Rico to the Democrat States of Amerika. (And you can have Chicwalkee, another state formed from the union of Milwaukee and Chicago.)
I'm all for the secession of California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii. All of which have voted with the democrats, pretty much forever. Let them go peacefully and live in their own left coast liberal paradise.
