Governor Rick Perry of Texas is rallying secessionist supporters with the idea of leaving the Union if they don’t get their political way again. Cry babies.
I would really like for that to happen. It would rid the Union of many stupid politicians, such as G. W. Bush. More importantly, it would shift the balance of political power in the Union in favor of liberals. Let them take Mississippi, Missouri, Kansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, and South Carolina too. The average IQ of Americans would rise instantly.
They might enjoy a honeymoon for a few good years, but it wouldn’t last for very long. Their political ideologies promote unsustainable policies that haven’t work and they still haven’t learned valuable lessons yet. Their obstructionism prevents the rest of the country from making great progress. They appear to be the inspiration for Mike Judge’s movie, Idiocracy.
I liked Austin when I was there a long time ago. It’s another island in a sea of rednecks. I don’t know what would happen to the people there. Maybe there could be a real estate swap of people who want to trade where they live. That confederacy would no doubt be more racist, so it would require a transfer for refugees.
