“It’s winter. I say Louisiana should shut down every pipeline from the Gulf to the North; no winter heating fuel for them!!”

....but they have windmills and solar to supply all their power needs .... and with the onset of global warming they will not need as much heat /s :)

“I identify those “same group of people” as the Northeast power brokers who want to control Washington DC for their own financial and political ends.”

Yes, it is! There is a great book written several years ago called Albion’s Seed written by a professor at Brandies (http://bit.ly/2Ir3J3M). In that book, the author describes how this country was settled by groups from different parts of England. The settlement areas in this country were the northeast, PA (Quackers), Appalachia and Tidewater (VA/south).

They all brought with them their lifestyles, beliefs, and “folkways.” They often fought and disagreed with one another in England and they did the exact same when they came here.

There is nothing new under the sun.

I’d rather live in ‘America’ than what the coasts have become

The late, great Walter E. Williams was saying this 20 years ago.

Secession may be the only solution, as it appears that retaking these Urban Hellholes and forcibly removing the Leftist governments is off the table.

“That I don’t disagree with. We are definitely in a period of great differences.”

The best book I have ever read that describes this is called The Fourth Turning. It was written in 1997.

If you want a brief overview watch this interview with the authors back in 1997 on C-SPAN

And thus insuring Civil war and your eventual defeat.

No. Complicating secession is what will cause a war. If entire states reach an agreement then no war is necessary. You have it 180 degress bass ackwards.

I like this, but we’ll have those icky blue people trying to sneak into our fabulous states from their crummy little Cuba places... like what they do now, actually.

In modern life, we can prevent CW2 by pushing Sanctuaries for conservative values. Liberals already set the precedent with cities and states where cops were punished for cooperating with border patrol. Create Sanctuaries for freedom of speech or more Second Amendment sanctuaries, and arrest liberal fascists who attempt to violate our rights.

Makes sense; I’ll check it out. Scratching my head over recent conversations that began, “We millennials...”
