south secede from unionShould the South secede from the Union?

Do you think the South should secede from the Union?

That entire region seems to drag the rest of the country down. Every Southern State with the exception of Georgia (thanks to Atlanta) and Florida (which isn’t really that “Southern”) takes from the federal government far more than they pay in. They had to be dragged kicking and screaming into legislation that made it a crime to beat the crap out of black people for exercising their Constitutional right to vote and remain the most politically, culturally and socially backward part of the country.

Is it time to posthumously grant Jefferson Davis’ wish and let the South secede?
No the South should not secede but I think all the states should tell the federal government if they want our tax money they better start abiding by the Constitution.
It's fascinating to see how people find ways to express the nastiest most bitter and repulsive sides of themselves. The south has nothing to do with what makes you so hateful, you are just using it as an excuse. Maybe you should check into the list of states compiled by black organizations in which they claim to be the best states for black people to live in. One list is done by imprisonment statistics, another is standard of living.

You are so outdated and your desperation to feel superior is glaring. Malcolm X was right when he talked about northern hypocrisy (or is yours western?). You are so hateful and prejudice and you justify it somehow. What a bitter chap you are.
I think it's pretty racist of you to think every southern state (except Florida and Georgia) and everybody in it acts like that.
We're proud to be part of our country and if you think the northern states aren't "taking from the federal government" also, you really need to wake up.
I'm sorry that you (obviously) had a bad run-in with some southerners.
Without a doubt! The South's way of self government and self containment is something the entire country could learn from. The South has and always will take care of it's own, and that's the way it should be; each state should take of itself, and shouldn't be allowed to put it's people in debt while the people up on the hill line their pockets. THE SOUTH HAD IT RIGHT ALL ALONG!!!
I wish you would, I have seen more active racism in New York than here in Arkansas. But just keep projecting what is in your heart on others. In addition, this question, if you knew anything about the south today, would not be here. But you are just some silly little 12 yr old who just studied some civil war stuff and is not smart enough to know that things have changed a lot down here since then. We forgive you, Yankees always were book smart but severely lacking in common sense brains.
Go ahead and secede from the South, but don't ask for our oil, you can still keep depending on the Saudis for that, and you can also keep borrowing from Communist China. Yes sounds like a good idea. Hope you don't freeze in Main in the winter, maybe Hugo Chavez will give you a good deal on oil. Ron Paul would be our President.
"south secede from union;American by Birth...Southern by the Grace of God"

Oklahoma born...Oklahoma proud!
shift, you're quite a character aren't you...once again, your ignorance precedes you...
If it meant me not paying taxes for the Obama welfare and Pelosi pork mentality people, by all means lets us cut and run from the liberal states!!!
No. I just think all the red states should move up to Alaska under the rule of Queen Palin and continue waiting for "the last days" they've worked so hard to create.
What would all the "North" do without all the effort of 21st century slave labor?
Lol leave and see how much chaos those states will get into. Who is going to fund the south? Be serious...
Not until I get the heck out of NC with all these people.
You're welcomed to leave if you feel this way.
YES

But the last time we did, we were attacked. Thousands murdered. Talk about war crimes and Bush? Try Lincoln
I definitely like John Wayne's version of the situation.
We Texans can take care of our selves. We do not need a Nanny!!
We Texans love y'all, but we'll probably have to take action since
Barack Obama won the election. We'll miss you too.

Here is what can happen:

1: Barack Hussein Obama becomes President of the United States, and
Texas immediately secedes from the Union.
2: George W. Bush will become the President of the Republic of Texas.
You might not think that he talks too pretty, but we haven't had
another terrorist attack, and the economy was fine until the effects
of the Democrats lowering the qualifications for home loans came to
roost.

So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?

1. NASA is just south of Houston, Texas. We will control the space industry.

2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States.

3. Defense Industry -- we have over 65% of it. The term "Don't mess
with Texas," will take on a whole new meaning.

4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will
need for the next 300 years. What will the other states do? Gee, we
don't know. Why not ask Obama?

5. Natural Gas - again we have all we need and it's too bad about
those Northern States. John Kerry and Al Gore will have to figure out
a way to keep them warm...

6. Computer Industry - we lead the nation in producing computer chips
and communications equipment -small companies like Texas Instruments,
Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, 摩托ola, Intel,
AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Misconduct, Dallas Semiconductor,
Norte l, Alcatel, etc. The list goes on and on.

7. Medical Care - We have the research centers for cancer research,
the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world, as well
as, other large health centers. The Houston Medical Center alone
employs over 65,000 people.

8. We have enough colleges to keep us getting smarter: University of
Texas, Texas AM, Texas Tech, Texas Ch ristian, Rice, SMU, University
of Dallas, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT (University of North
Texas ), Texas Women's Unsouth secede from unioniversity, etc. Ivy grows better in the South
anyway.

9. We have an intelligent and energetic work force, and it isn't
restricted by a bunch of unions. Here in Texas, it's a Right to Work
State and, therefore, it's every man and woman for themselves. We just
go out and get the job done. And if we don't like the way one company
operates, we get a job somewhere else.

10. We have essential control of the paper, plastics and insurance
industries, etc.

11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard,
the Texas Air National Guard and several military bases. We don't
have an Army, but since everybody down here has at least six rifles
and a pile of ammo, we can raise an Army in 24 h ours if we need one.
If the situation really gets bad, we can always call the Department of
Public Safety and ask them to send over the Texas Rangers.

12. We are totally self-sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs and
several types of grain, fruit and vegetables, and let's not forget
seafood from the Gulf. Also, everybody down here knows how to cook
them so that they taste good. Don't need any food.

13. Three of the ten largest cities in the United States, and
twenty-three of the 100 largest cities in the United States, are
located in Texas. And Texas also has more land than California, New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts,
Maryland, Rhode Island and Vermont&n bsp;combined.

14. Trade: Three of the ten largest ports in the United States are
located in Texas.

15. We also manufacture cars down here, but we don't need to. You see,
nothing rusts in Texas, so our vehicles stay beautiful and run well
for decades.

This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of
Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and
don't have.

Now to the rest of the United States under President Obama:

Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only
President Obama will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg SUV.



The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes.

You won't have any TV as the Space Center in Houston will cut off
satellite communications.

You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes, but since
Mr. Obama has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas as
long as you survive the 2,000 years it will take to get enough heat
from Global Warming.

Signed, The People of Texas

P.S. This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give you
something to think about!

SLEEP WELL TONIGHT, THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU!!

One Nation Under God
