Let's say the South were to secede tomorrow, and establish Richmond as the capital of the new Confederate States of America. Not only would those boneheads immediately realize that none of their problems were solved by ditching Washington, and not only would they see that their problems and standard of living just got worse without us to carry them anymore, but they would also still be dealing with the same old power issues, only with worse outcomes. Richmond would try to give orders to Texas, only to find Texas flipping them a very nice little states' rights birdie in response. It might even get deeper than that. Maybe southern Florida would split from the northern half of the state. Secession on secession. And so on. What an accomplishment, eh?
If it sounds like I'm laughing at these tea party buffoons and their secession rants, it's because I am.
And if it sounds like I'd be more than happy to grant them the wish of their autonomy, it's because I would.
Goodbye, and good riddance.
Oh, and good luck, too. Y'all are gonna need it.
