Oh yeah – and the South is the region that supplies the most military recruits. So that sh*t about soldiers firing on Americans – not down here they won’t.

From my own blog, an excerpt:

I think it is with conservatives in mind that Thomas Jefferson wrote

“…all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”

It is only after the abuses become insufferable that we conservatives rouse ourselves to do something about it. The question is then, what are we going to do about it and when?

The divide between Left and Right is a vast, unbridgeable chasm. Our differences are over the fundamental question of the proper size, scope, and role of government and our beliefs couldn’t be farther apart. There simply is no room for compromise.

In my opinion there are only two options remaining; dissolution of the nation into two separate countries or the creation of a Red State Redoubt, a conservative fortress, bolstered by muscular implementation and practice of federalism. If we do not dissolve the union we must act as though we have and start treating the Left as enemies and not as nice people with whom we have some minor disagreements.

We can already see that Blue states are becoming bluer and Red states redder. The risk of not dissolving the union is that Red states go the way of North Carolina, a former solidly red state turned purple due to its success in creating a welcoming, conservative, business-friendly state. We aren’t able to keep the plague of Liberalism at bay as long as we are a single nation. The locusts eventually lay waste to our states.

The dissolution of the union while a long term possibility isn’t a strategy to pursue. Instead we must use our perhaps temporary supermajorities in solidly red states to make them into hostile territory for Liberals and Liberalism. We need to drive them out.

I am so ready to get this s-ecess-ion thing going, I’m like Secretariat at the gate. TxAnn56 on February 1, 2013 at 7:40 PM
Indeed, it’s a movement that’s growing by leaps and bounds. Rebar on February 1, 2013 at 7:43 PM

I see what you did, Rebar.

Now the Left is targeting TX.

How do we protect ourselves? We have to make the South as hostile to Liberals and Liberalism as feasibly possible. Work your butts off to get as much conservative policy passed now while most red states are still solidly conservative.

Fight now or lose it all.

Ding ding ding.

The culture war is now at the state level. Do it.

The biggest danger to we Southerners is our own success. Our success invites Liberals in who, like the parasitic locusts they are, wreak havoc in our states.

Just look what has happened to NC. Could NC elect Jesse Helms today? No way! NC voted or Obama in 208. Why? Leftist migrants following businesses that relocated to NC because of NC’s conservative, business friendly economic environment.

Now the Left is targeting TX.

How do we protect ourselves? We have to make the South as hostile to Liberals and Liberalism as feasibly possible. Work your butts off to get as much conservative policy passed now while most red states are still solidly conservative.

Red states must also become hostile to those seeking to live off the public dole.

Fight now or lose it all.

Speaking of things military but lighthearted… I remember (most likely during the Clintoon years) when a beach landing exercise in Spain took place at the wrong location resulting in a shore invasion amongst the sunbathers.

A master sergeant interviewed about the incident was quoted:

“There are few things more dangerous than an officer with a map.”

Hence today the Leftists demonize the South. They fear the South will take them down.

petefrt on February 1, 2013 at 8:01 PM

Nah. The left demonizes the South out of habit. It’s their comfort zone, and distracts them from the fact that they actually hate each other.

“When the war breaks out, I want to be in the South, because they know how to fight, and they fight for the Constitution.”

petefrt on February 1, 2013 at 8:22 PM

Should have said, he’s a retired Army colonel, so he probably knows how to fight.

Yes, I have a long time conservative Democrat friend who moved from Maine to western Virginia, who says, “When the war breaks out, I want to be in the South, because they know how to fight, and they fight for the Constitution.”

Leftists also realize that when it comes to representation by state in the military there is no match for the Southern states participation in defending our Constitution directly.

viking01 on February 1, 2013 at 8:13 PM

Let’s form our own union, amend the Constitution to narrow the commerce clause and federal welfare, and tell the North they are free to beg to get into Canada. If they’ll have them…
