The main problem is Dem scum is guaranteed to file suit and be hung up in the courts, defeating the purpose in the first place. Perhaps the legal authority also provides for expedited court review?
Until it gets to the SCOTUS that will side with the President. You don't think President Trump knows the Dems will try to use the courts to block it. He knows how it will end.

I will always wonder what would have happened if the south had voluntarily abandoned slavery and continued arguing the states rights issue.
I suspect they may have gained some support from northern states and things may have turned out much different, maybe the war itself may have been avoided.
We will never know now
Yep, if the south had voluntarily abandoned slavery but still wanted to secede I think it would've worked. Lincoln would've had a hard time convincing people in the north that the south should be held in the U.S. against its will.
Both sides would be getting more policies that they agree with right now and there would truly be a choice that Americans could make. The U.S. or the CSA. But at least people would have the choice.

I can't say exactly what I would have done, but the civil war is an extremely embarrassing part of our history IMO. While I obviously side with the right of the confederacy to exist, It's obvious that both sides didn't do enough to prevent bloodshed in the process. Sad era of us history that followed that needless conflict.
It's embarrassing because it ended America and what it was supposed to be. A collection of states with a very small federal government working together.
I'm not saying I agree with slavery, I don't, I think it was a horrible institution, but I do believe in state's rights. And the fact is true state's rights died with the Civil War. If Lincoln had wanted to do what was right and avoid bloodshed he would've let the Confederacy exist as its own country. The U.S. would have still been a pretty big country and slavery would've ended at some point anyway. Slavery was already on its way out and with the industrial revolution I believe it would've been gone before the start of the 20th century.
While Lincoln might have won a war, we lost everything this country was originally intended to be.

I think the America died that day in all the ways that truly matter.
Agreed. People can say what you want about that man, but if I had lived in that time period I would have truly been willing to die for him. Outside of an immediate family member there's no one today I would say that for.

Wow. Sounds like you don’t have a lot of faith in America
I still believe in what America is supposed to stand for. But I have no faith in the people of America. I think what a lot of us are saying is that America as it was is gone and the liberals will never allow America to be what it was again, a moral country based on the constitution.
I don't see how America survives the coming onslaught from the left. I hope I'm wrong.

America died in 1865 when the Tyrants won. It's over. Everyone is just feasting on the corpse.

And America in many ways died on this battlefield, despite what others want to say. Part of me truly does believe I was born in the wrong time period. I was born about 150 years too late. What it would've been like to have lived when men were truly allowed to be men.

This is what I believe as well. Once the baby boomers are gone it will be a one party dictatorship here in the U.S. A mix of socialism and communism will happen.
That's why I say I have thought about leaving when my parents pass away. They are baby boomers and when they pass away that is probably when sh*t will start hitting the fan.

The other side would take this action and not think twice about it in executing their miss guided vision for devaluing America. So, you advocating taking no action with the thought that doing so would somehow keep the other side from ever taking emergency action is simply wrong. We are in a bitter fight here. There is no decency in the left. The other side will stop at nothing to get what they want....that is what you are fighting against.
Yep and this is what Nguyener doesn't get. He's looking at this as simple politics, it isn't. We are fighting for our survival. We are fighting for the future of this country. In some ways we could be fighting for our very lives.

There are so many things wrong with that analogy I don't even know where to begin
Since you are so much smarter than us simpletons why don't you begin then? Please tell us where we're wrong.
Again Nguyener you are trying to be civil with people who have absolutely decided not to be civil. Your method is the method that has gotten conservatism where it is today, on its death bed.

Let me remind you, during the Revolutionary War, the British soldiers couldn't compete against the revolutionaries. Marching in formation, in their bright red coats, they were mowed down by the patriots hiding behind obstacles.
I'm sure as they continued to march in line, getting picked off, they kept repeating to themselves "this isn't fair, but at least we're fighting the right way."
They lost. That's the bottom line.
Exactly Smeg, great example. If we listen to this guy he wants Conservatives marching in formation just like the British while the Liberals are in the bushes picking us off one by one. At the end of the day this is about the future of this country, it's about winning or losing. We need to do what it takes to win and if that means getting in the weeds and picking the Liberals off one by one instead of standing in formation than lets do it.
So many Conservatives are still trying to be civil with Liberals when they have even admitted they have no desire to be civil. In many ways Liberals are using guerrilla warfare tactics and we need to use the same.

I don't agree with this. So let me get this straight, you would assign responsibility for the defense of all the countries to one union....the North American Union? That's assigning a lot of responsibility to one entity.
With each paying an equal share. If a country doesn't agree than they are more than free to pay for their own defense.
I would say a NAU is necessary though, that way Mountain West America doesn't have enemies at its door step because West Coast America is a bunch of pacifists and surrendered the minutes enemy forces were in visual range.

There's no deal on DACA and TPS right now. Nancy Pelosi wants to play hardball, why aren't we starting the process of deporting the DACA and TPS people now?
I live in Florida, I've seen the TPS (specifically Haitians) at work. They are lazy, ungrateful, have an attitude that we need to adapt to them and turn the areas they live in into a 3rd world hellhole. It's amazing what's happened to some communities since Haitians took over. They aren't the victims the media portrays them to be.
Why are we waiting, deport the DACA and TPS people now.

Except we've tried that for 30 years and the Dems keep making more and more headway. Sometimes you just have to get in the dirt with them and beat them at their own game. Sometimes the ends really do justify the means.

But where in the hell else could you go? The world is a train wreck that has been programmed to hate the success of American and its citizenry.
I don't think the whole world hates Americans like we are led to believe. Even if they aren't fond of us something tells me they wouldn't mind our money.
My first thought would either be back to my ancestor's homeland (Ireland) or to Eastern Europe. Specifically the Czeck Republic and Poland would be good options
Second idea would be to the Eastern Pacific. Japan, South Korea would be the top choices. Australia and New Zealand could be options as well.Of course Japan and South Korea I'd have to start learning their language now but I love the culture of both countries. I also love how they DGAF what other people think about them and their culture. Australia and New Zealand would both be easier to adapt to socially but I worry they are both going down the same path the U.S. is down.

If Trump doesn't get the wall I'm not sure what I'll do. My guess is vote against him in the Primaries for failing to deliver on his promise. Immigration was my #1 issue. If Trump did win the Primary than I would vote for him but i have a feeling he would lose pretty easily.
It actually wouldn't shock me if he decides not to seek re-election and Pence is the candidate. That might actually be the best case scenario if Trump doesn't get the wall.

I like your idea, but I don’t think those other countries will survive once the Pax Americana is over.
Those other countries were around long before America was even a thought. The Eastern European countries would have to band together to protect what is theirs but I believe they could do it. Especially when they would have the wealth from a lot of conservative Americans coming in.
Japan would absolutely survive post America. Yes it would have to raise a standing Army again like before and we know North Korea and China will throw a complete hissy fit over that, but they have the ability to and they would.
South Korea would be the most dicey country to move to. Without America I have no doubt Kim Jong Un would love to try to invade South Korea. That's where Japanese and Koreans would have to put their differences aside to protect South Korea. Either that or South Korea, like Japan, raises it's own Army and there is a final war on the Korean peninsula.

I agree. So maybe the solution is something along this line. We should contact our state legislators and demand a referendum on secession be included on the ballot on your next statewide election. I believe most people have come to the same conclusion I have....this country is so profoundly divided that we really need to consider breaking up the union.
Sadly it won't happen but I've looked at that as the best solution for awhile now. An agreement that the two sides are too fundamentally different at this point to keep the union in tact. An agreement that a peaceful secession and equal dispersement of the assets is the best long term solution.
Simply put, break the mainland U.S. up into about 5 different countries. The 5 countries would be the following:
- A Northeast U.S. country
- A Southern U.S. country
- A West Coast U.S. country
- A Midwest U.S. country
- A Mountain West/Great Plains U.S. country
Hawaii would go back to being its own nation and Alaska could become a part of Canada where it's truly always belonged.
Split the U.S. into 5 individual countries and then form a North American Union with those 5 U.S. countries and Canada. The North American Union would be responsible for defense with each country paying an equal share. The 5 U.S. countries could continue to use the U.S. Dollar as the primary currency. There could even be unlimited travel within the NAU like there is the EU. If that's too much than in the very least they could set it up where you would only need a Passport Card and not a full Passport to travel between the countries.
Other than that though each individual U.S. country would be free to set its own Economic and Social Policies.
There could even be a 2 year grace period where people could freely move with no penalty if they country they are in is not to their liking. This would also allow more liberal individuals in conservative countries to move to liberal countries and vice versa. This should be on every state ballot in 2020 and should be looked at as truly the best solution.

Moving to another country to escape the Fall is not a viable option. The rest of the world has been living on Daddy’s credit card: that’s why they could sip coffee in Copenhagen during the Cold War. No defense spending needed. There is nothing after America.
Yeah but if America truly does go socialist/communist there has to be other options right? Some Eastern European countries seem like the best bet as they got to experience the destruction of communism first hand and don't want to go back to it.
I've also thought about going to some Asian countries as well, specifically Japan and South Korea. Both countries have a more collectivist mentality than the U.S. but they still believe in basic freedoms and have what is essentially a capitalist system.

So you’re telling me there are no socially awkward women who lack confidence in themselves? You’re telling me that there are no women feeling just as defeated and lonely as you? No women out there who have a hard time socially and feel like they never know what to say? There are no women on this planet who are going through what you’ve gone through?
Complete and utter BS. You just aren’t looking. You think you are, but you’re not.
I don't doubt there are, but I still think it's harder as a man. As a man you are supposed to be strong, you aren't supposed to question yourself, you aren't suppose to show emotion or show any weakness. If you are a man and you show weakness you are going to be laughed at. Women who show weakness usually have a great support group.
In terms of dating specifically it's easier for a woman to be socially awkward. Women aren't expected to approach and carry a conversation. Men are expected to. So a socially awkward women, if she's even average, can just wait until a man initiates a conversation with her and then take it from there.
I'm not saying there aren't some women out there who have trouble being social and have also had a lack of success in relationships, but I still think it's harder for man. Am I being unreasonable in that assessment?
