Secession is the right way to go. From my home page

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Secession

It's time for us to jettison those who reject our national values because there's no changing them. Time to secede.

We should extend the invitation to secede on a county by county basis.

While we're at it, since we'd be forming a new country, we should extend the invitation to counties in Canada and Mexico as well.

I was reading the rest of the sentence that starts with “ Our side talks an excellent game...”

[Old Yeller]

Media goes first, since along with politicians, they are most guilty.

We should extend the invitation to secede on a county by county basis.

A better and much easier fix would be to replace the current so-called 'Representatives' and 'Senators' who've sold their country and countrymen out like harlots during fleet week, with actual Representatives of the people elected from each country and parish in the nation.

So, instead of about 450 quickly bought off drunken, narcissistic sociopathic kleptocrats, we then have 3,500 representatives perhaps more interested in the wellbeing of their constituents than mega-corporations or special interests.

Change the current law preventing the recall of congressional representatives and move their offices to the country or parish they represent. The distribution of government through the use of high tech will save millions of taxpayer dollars. It will also ensure the continuation of government when our enemies, the current government, has made, attack!

[amorphous]

country = county

[gloryblaze]

Right on. If that can happen, it is just about impossible to imagine anything that couldn’t.

“I can only shudder at the direction we are headed. Left-wing fascism is upon us.”

Yes, but the Left ALWAYS over-reaches. They are so nakedly desperate to exert control over all of society that they lose focus and rationality, talk just among themselves and believe that they are unstoppable. Well, they aren’t, and not the least of the reasons is that even a fair part of their own camp is not completely crazy.

Take a look at what’s happening in England now - they are on the verge of civil unrest because a few truckers have either been told to stay home, or have decided to stay home themselves - as a result, there are insufficient deliveries of food, gasoline (uh, correction, “petrol”) and other key goods, plus warnings of the process worsening over time. Now take a step back and consider what would happen if 100,000 truckers in this country decided to go on strike (especially those bringing food and fuel into the major shitties. Viola - chaos and riots before long.

That Left wing fascism thing that you mentioned...the camel’s nose in the door is forced vaccination for the CCP virus. I would bet that it wouldn’t be too hard for someone to whip up 100,000 truckers enough to stay at home for a week or 2. The results would be, uh, “interesting.”

“While we’re at it, since we’d be forming a new country, we should extend the invitation to counties in Canada and Mexico as well.”

Let’s not. Even conservative (by Canadian standards) counties have swallowed a bit too much of the Socialist swill to be conservative by our standards; Mexico - are you joking? At the very least, they will bring a penchant for corruption that is way beyond what we have here, and that’s a lot worse than it used to be. Besides, the skill level of most Mexicans is considerably below ours. Don’t need them, and shouldn’t want them.

I think we are looking at late Roman Empire stuff.

The central government issues insane orders, and the average folks just run and hide as best they can....

Civilization is very fragile—and I am having trouble seeing a scenario where we get it back...

The enemies of civilization are in every nation and every state in this country. War can’t fix that.

[nomorelurker]

Darn it I knew Texas should have never given up the headwaters of the Rio Grande months or years would be spent reducing that long neck of territory while the main part of the state built up. Take New Orleans then Mobile Civil War in reverse.

[yetidog]

“There will be no CW2. It would have happened by now.”

Wars-civil or otherwise—tend to have precipitating causes. So I guess we are pretty far down that road.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

Interesting, sort of applicable, but really useless as a guide to action. More of just a way to gain perspective. No need to read it today, it will keep until the migraine is better.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

If CW comes it will be sparked by the Left—with the arrest or assassination of Donald Trump. The Federalists will get help from China and the CWII could morph into WW III. Only winner China.

...Hot Chicks - check!

If you are talking about California girls, forget it. Most of them are just visiting from Arizona. It's California's dirty little secret.

[kjam22]

The right has to decide to stand up. For instance….. the left has declared war against the fossil fuel industry. The industry could without “colluding” decide to shut down all pipelines going to the north east and to the west coast. One pipe, then another, then another. And in a few short weeks simply run those regions out of petroleum products. In the same way twitter, facebook, and youtube(google) decide not to do business with certain persons. The fossil fuel could easily and quickly destroy the liberal parts of this country that despise them. This war will start when the right decides to fight back.

[Lurker]

For later.

[MarMema]

Yes. I have had these same thoughts - some of them.

[Kevmo]

I would want any county that values freedom.
