REPUBLIC, REPUBLIC, REPUBLIC! GO TEXAS GO!
I would always prefer a peaceful succession to open warfare. Although open warfare is still preferable to socialism and it's bastardized children liberalism and progressivism. Better dead than red and dead reds are even better still. I believe we are quickly progressing towards a violent confrontation as the the continued failing of the US Markets and society progress, caused by the encroachment of Socialistic institutions and thought invading our country. The death of 10-20 million liberals and other socialist ilk is preferable to the costs of what liberalism will do and has been doing to the over 300 million in this country. Just like the Phoenix, it is time for those who believe in God, self-determination, morality and the advancement of mankind to rise from the ashes of this once great country. You can be a sheep or you can a wolf, the sheep need to learn to once again fear the wolf and for the wolves to cull the heard. If the brain dead socialistic herd commonly known as liberals, progressives, socialist or communists will not allow a peaceful separation, then it is time to bare our fangs and start the cull.
It is time for those who love the freedom to stand on their own and achieve for themselves without the weight of carrying the useless to start migrating towards the freer states and those states should implement policies that encourage the sheeple to either change or move their herd to a different pasture.
Liberals, leave us be and head for the liberal havens and let the free people move to the non-liberal havens, then split amicably or violently, which ever the liberals choose. If you are a non-liberal in one of the liberal havens, then close your business (if you have one), move towards freedom and quit holding up liberalism through your sacrifices. Let the liberals bear the weight of their beliefs without the blood, sweat and tears of the non-liberal.
