We won’t send him back...

After the first revolution, people who were loyal to the crown were forced to leave the country. That sure works for me.

[jersey117]

Agree.

[Baldwin77]

I believe at this point, a national divorce is needed to save lives. Let’s finish the civil war... North and South, baby !

“...We’re not going anywhere. We’re not retreating. We’re not hiding. We’re not pulling into our conservative shell like some right-wing tortoise. This is our country...”

By god, he reminds me of ME...

Thanks for posting it, Kas.

This article assumes that the Libs respect the Constitution. They do not. Everything past that assumption is ridiculous.

[SaintDismas]

War is coming. Whether the state legislatures or the SC rightfully award the electors to the President, or PDJT invokes the Insurrection Act, he will not allow this Communist coup in progress to take place. He will not. Prepare Patriots we are witnessing history

[central_va]

Not if but when.

Prediction of the United States collapse in 2010

In the summer of 1998,[18] based on classified data about the state of the U.S. economy and society[19] supplied to him by fellow analysts at FAPSI,[2] Panarin forecast the probable disintegration of the US into six parts in 2010 (at the end of June – start of July 2010, as he specified on 10 December 2008),[citation needed] following a civil war triggered by mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation. He forecast financial and demographic changes provoking a political crisis in which wealthier states will withhold funds from the federal government, effectively seceding from the Union, leading to social unrest, civil war, national division, and intervention of foreign powers.[2] Panarin sees the task of the world elite as not letting the USA follow the Yugoslavian model of disintegration; it is desirable that it follows the Czechoslovakian model of disintegration so that everything goes calmly and peacefully.[citation needed]

Explaining his theory in an interview with Izvestia, Panarin stated that "The U.S. dollar isn't secured by anything. The country's foreign debt has grown like an avalanche; this is a pyramid, which has to collapse. ... Dissatisfaction is growing, and it is only being held back at the moment by the elections, and the hope [that President-elect Barack Obama] can work miracles. But when spring comes, it will be clear that there are no miracles."[20]

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal in 2008, Panarin said:

There's a 55–45% chance right now that disintegration will occur. ... One could rejoice in that process ... But if we're talking reasonably, it's not the best scenario – for Russia. Though Russia would become more powerful on the global stage, he says, its economy would suffer because it currently depends heavily on the dollar and on trade with the U.S.[2]

In March 2009, Panarin gave a speech at the Diplomatic Academy in which he stated that "There is a high probability that the collapse of the United States will occur by 2010" and predicted that Russia and China, which will soon become economic superpowers, will need to collaborate to rebuild the world economy with a new currency once the United States (and the U.S. dollar) cease to exist.[21]

This hypothesis gained world attention a decade after its initial announcement due to the 2008 financial crisis and has been widely criticised since.[22]

In October 2011, Panarin stated that Occupy Wall Street protests have "highlighted the ever-deepening split with America's ruling elite." He also cited several American professors and analysts who he claims support his view that the United States will soon collapse, including Gerald Celente, Stephen F. Cohen, and Thomas W. Chittum.[23][24]

Divide the USA into four parts. . .

Okay, that avoids one source of strife. But there's another to consider: Would that not give a foothold to enemy nations, such as the ChiComs, to buddy up to the 1 or 2 Leftist parts of our former country? Wouldn't the ChiComs send military "advisors" to open the door to Chinese troops, aided by native-born, snowflake trainees, to conquer and enslave the other parts of the former US?

And wouldn't the logistics of defending even one of the parts of the former US on a continent with no Monroe Doctrine become untenable?

A citizens allegiance should be to the state they live in not the the USA. The USA is an artificial construct of the states. We are all Gen. Lees now.

[Baldwin77]

I think Conservatives should follow the socialist-democrat lead and establish “sanctuary states” where conservatism rules. If they can do it, why can’t we?

[Kaslin]

What do you mean get Texas out?

[central_va]

There is no splitting apart in our future.

That eliminates peace. Really what you are saying is massive bloodletting is better than a peaceful divorce. What a ghoul you are.

[Baldwin77]

Also, states should have the right to outlaw abortion and not pay taxes to the Feds until they can guarantee their taxes are not funding abortions.

If you want to murder your child, you will have to travel to a state where that is allowed and not on my dime.

[central_va]

Kurt is from CA. Have you ever noticed that so called “conservatives” living in deep blue states are the most outspoken against splitting up the USA peacefully? Ask yourself why that is....

[Kaslin]

They hate the Constitution. Everyone knows that, or should know that.

[central_va]

We’re not going to coexist with the left and the left isn’t going to coexist with us. Divide the USA into four parts and be done with it. America as a nation ceased to exist many years ago.

With a mutual defense pact that is negotiated from the start.

[RoosterRedux]

Really what you are saying is massive bloodletting is better than a peaceful divorce.

That's quite an irrational leap there. Just because war is coming doesn't exactly mean that I believe war is preferable to peace.

That said, reality is most certainly better than wishful thinking.

Just curious, how old are you?
