There is some validity to that theory. I don't see the blodd-letting in the streets quite yet, but there is less and less civility in our political debate and more of what seems to be chicanery every year.

I could see us up against a major constitutinal crisis.

I think you're right. Maybe I've done too much gaming in role playing games like The Morrow Project, Gamma World, and Twilight: 2000, basically, "after The Bomb" genre, but I do forsee a time when the United States will most likely shatter into autonomous, semi-autonomous, or even sovereign nations each set up to their own flavor. Being an alternate history junkie, I did a search on the term "Balkanized America Map" and I got this link: http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/misc/balkanus.htm

It's sort of a "what-if" the Constitutional Convention of 1787 fell apart. I can see something like this in our future although you might have different nations because I foresee this happening in the future whereas the "point of divergence" was in 1787 here.

It seems like as time goes on, the discussions get less civil and more of a warlike flavor and there are many times I think that Walter Williams' article in 2000 on secession is becoming more attractive as time goes on. In short, I think we need a divorce. If the left wants homosexual marriage, rip out religion, and other sundry things they believe in, let them, but they should just have their own country while we have ours. I really don't feel comfortable talking about this, but I think this idea may have to be discussed otherwise I do feel we are headed to a huge loggerhead here.

Here is the rest to that "what-if" site.

Very interesting "what-ifs" there.

I agree with you. My family fought for the Confederacy. The attempted divorce failed. The baby killers and homosexuals will win. They skillfully market their perversions to the soccer moms. The Supreme Court is lost. The Executive Branch wants to open the borders while its State Department commits treason. The Legislative Branch is filled with egotistical losers that soccer moms and the minorities put in power due to their combined voting block power (approx 41%). I wish I knew the solution but my average IQ does not have enough juice. Good luck to you my friend!

I've felt so disgusted with leftisits sometimes that I agree. It's not a good way for me to feel, but there are some on the fringe that disgust me to the point where they no longer seem to be decent human beings. I would prefer never to be in their presence.

Much to think about.

Walter Williams profoundly captured the mood and inclinations of many of us when he wrote his succession essay at the time of the attempted election stealing campaign during the 2000 elections.

I felt then that the Democrats did not love this country, only power, when they pulled the stunts they did and put the country through hell, rather than nobly concede as Nixon did in 1960.

A line was drawn then that I'm not certain has been erased. I saw the Leftist Democrats for what they were: authoritarians bent on power, and representing something alien to this political and spiritual culture.

I am not hopeful in maintaining the Union, as it is now composed of two antithical world views.

I've since wondered if this was how it felt to those who lived through the 1850s when the issues that were to result in the Civil war were simmering and unresolved.
