Oddly enough, this is exactly what southerners said before the last secession. In fact, one southern senator stated that all the blood shed over secession wouldn't fill a lady's thimble.
He may have been right, but it would have taken one really large thimble.
Ha, compare the huevos of today’s government to those of 150 years ago. How many hussein lovers would sign up to save the union? Heck, they couldn’t be bothered to get out of Dodge during Katrina or Sandy. They were dumpster diving five minutes after the winds died down and whining the bottled water wasn’t properly chilled. Sure, bring it on!
