Relax. Even if it totally goes to Hell in a handbasket(socialist HRC government takes over), all the good conservatives can simply migrate to Texas and we'll threaten to seceed.

Any such movement would likely be joined by Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho. Given such a revolt, one or more of Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, Lousiana, Tennessee, might also be coaxed into threatening to seceed. Should most of these join, Kentucky, Ohio, and one or both Dakotas would also be in play. Now you would have too big a movement to suppress militarily, thus provoking a constitutional crisis. HRC might have the electoral college and popular vote(and a newly packed 15 member USSC), but not the land mass, resources, and distribution of economic producer assets in her favor. So it could come down to resign, or we seceed. Either way, conservatives triumph in the long run.

Though it will never come to this, its nice to remember that good productive people usually find a way to regain the trump card.

Recreational tinfoiling can be fun.

Sure can. I've always said the ideal job was being a writer for National Enquirer. You can just make up whatever you want, the wilder the better, and let rip. Good times.

Since you're a kindred spirit, perhaps we should get together and form a new right wing National Enquirer type rag -- we can get some venture money (what the hell are they doing with it in these crazy days anyway) from some of these [soon to be not so] high rollers.

And if you get Idaho and Montana, we can probably slice off eastern Oregon and Washington, and with just a little foray we can probably acquire a corridor to a port on Puget Sound -- for our friends in the Navy, you know.

Sounds good. I want the western panhandle!

I know what you're saying. When it looked like this country wasn't going to snap out of it's Clinton haze a few years ago, I thought this was going to be necessary. Western California, Western Oregon, and Western Washington state are basically the same tribe and are liberal new age types. The big Great Lakes cities and New England down the eastern seaboard to Washington DC forming a crescent are bacically the same tribe and are liberal union types. The rest are the freedom-loving heart and soul of the original American spirit. We get San Diego though, we need a West Coast seaport, and San Diego is the most conservative. And I'd imagine a few of those gun-loving western Canadian provinces would join up with us, also. We might as well solve their liberalism problems the same time we solve ours.

Recreational tinfoiling, this is fun. :^)
