He fails at the basic ethnic make up of the US. 
If that did happen Texas could potentially be fine. I bet their GDP alone would be in the top 20 in the world.

Honestly Louisiana with it's oil and gas and the mouth of the Mississippi would be fine also.

Combine LA with Texas and make a NA Suadi Arabia.
We could get Jindal to be the President.
Maybe include Oklahoma too.....it is Texas' hat anyways.
More potential national championships for LSU too since there would be less schools and we'd only have to worry about Texas and TX Tech.

The stereotyping is pretty hilarious.
You get the feeling all their intelligence is like that.
Although in a very rudimentary way, they are on to something.
If the US has moved from capitalist democracy, to socialist oligarmocracy, we will implode exactly as Russia did during Bush I.

Go ahead, if you have the capacity, and imagine what that scenario would be like as time progresses.

I'm all for the south seceding again. The only things we want, besides independence, is the gold depository at Fort Knox and the sub base at St. Marys.

this is true
As paranoid as we are and as much press racism gets in the country due to the slavery past we really don't stack up that bad.
Spend some time in South America. It's so prelavent there it's not give a second thought.

Probably more likely the fragil Russian economy will collapse because of the low oil prices:
Russia Close to Economic Collapse
Russia Close to Economic Collapse
quote:
Russia is now lurching towards a major economic crisis, experts predicted today, following news that the price of oil had slumped to under $50 a barrel.
The collapse in the value of oil was likely to have several catastrophic consequences for Russia including a possible devaluation of the rouble and a severe drop in living standards next year, they warned.
The fall in oil prices from $147 this July to below $50 today has blown a gaping hole in the government's budget calculations. It is now facing a $150bn shortfall in its spending plans - and will have to slash expenditure in 2009.
"If the current trend continues with the government supporting the rouble, oil prices falling and a slowing economy we are going to have a major crisis," said Chris Weafer, an analyst with the Moscow brokerage Uralsib.
He added: "There will be more pressure on the rouble and an extremely difficult first quarter next year." Russia was more vulnerable than other countries because it was still an oil state, and had failed to diversify its economy, Weafer added.

Actually I have and I would like to add the midwest as well.
Essentially just carve a BELL curve out of the US.
Start at the bottom left with Arizona, don't go quite as high as Illinois or Michigan, swoop down and end with Florida.
Sorry to leave out Oregon, bro.

Oregon and Washington want to join up with British Columbia anyway.
No one wants California.

Sounds a lot like we do when we pontificate on the issues of the day.
