So, and I keep asking this, are you ready for Liberalville and Conservativeville, yet? No war, just divide the country in half geographically (a line that goes from North to South or diagonally North to South so people have both kinds of hot/cold weather options), sort of like Joe Biden's recommendation for divvying up Iraq. Everybody would pick up and move to the half of the country they'd feel most comfortable in, with their own established respective liberal and conservative governments. Kids under 18 have to go with parents but once hitting 18 could move to the other side. Let's say, before the big move, the current federal government will help people who have to physically relocate to do so. Whether there would be states or not within Liberalville and Conservativeville would be up to each new country. For arguments sake, we'll say travel/extradition/trade between the two, at least until the governments figure themselves out, would be no different than it is now. Would you be willing to do it?
Excellent idea.

Large cities are the corrupt utopias that always vote for the neo-comm party.
Nothing has changed.
The poor rural hicks will just never be as smart as them city fellas.

I don't see how they can avoid a huge collapse, at some point the debt issues will implode.
As for Perry, I might listen to what he has to say except (as extravagant Great Warrior Bush did before him) he blew all his "political capital" by planning on the forced HPV innoculation of all Texas females under age 19 or something like that, with the supposed cancer-preventing HPV from Merck, who probably bought him a house in the Caribbean. Experimenting On Teen Girls
Quite a stunt.
Politicians as a class are not our finest specimens. They're usually lying if their lips are moving.
Oh good lord. This is such a typical "Austin" point of view. So many people have this misguided perception that Austin is some liberal hotbed in Texas, and I can honestly say after having lived there for a few years that outside of a few small areas of the city, like Hyde Park and near-South Austin, that it is no more liberal than say, El Paso. Anywhere else in Austin you'll find just as many conservative blowhards as any other Texas city, and just as much suburban blandness. Just because SxSW has become such a big deal does not make Austin even remotely resemble anything close to the progressiveness of Seattle, San Francisco, or even Flagstaff, AZ. Austin is SOOO overrated.
Those of you who have made offensive comments re TX and who want us to secede....don't you understand how much precious money your liberal government would lose if TX seceded?
Not to mention the fact that we are crticially important to American business and the economy.

Sadly Americans are pretty ignorant when it comes to almost everything except sports and celebrities...and what is worse is it is a wilfull ignorance,they LIKE being this dumb.
You can only blame the terrible education system for so much...
I like the idea of states taking back the rights as under the Constitution.

I like the idea too. We've become far too divided a people and the federal government has overstepped it's bounds be a whole lot. It's far too costly, too high maintenance.
Why should Texas stay part of a nation that is only heaping on debt, if it secedes, then it becomes free of that debt, Texas taxpayers can be productive, and not burdened.
