Would the north be better off with out the south?

No but the world would be better off without so damned many leftists.

If Obama is re-elected, I hope secession becomes a serious topic of discussion. Even if he is defeated, I would like to see it explored.

Neither side can stand each other. Might be time for an amicable split.

Instead of North / South though, I would like to see the Coasts split off along with most of the major cities throughout the rest of the country.

The question is backwards. Because the South WOULD be better off without the North. . . .

I have often wondered... If the South was evil, and the North was a bastion of morality, then why didn’t the North WANT to secede? Why would the North have had this great desire to remain associated with slaveholding evildoers? Easy, it’s the same impulse that remains today: Power.

*

The south would have to find a way to defend itself from the north’s economic and cultural collapse. Build a wall to stop the desperate hordes from bringing their economic and cultural decay south. Have a Democrat deportation program.

*

The South has been saving the Union from the democrats for decades.

If anything, the South would be much better off without the damn liberal North.

*

Well racists and leftists go hand in hand. DNC was the klan party and were designed to terrorize blacks and southern Republicans. Maybe we’d all be better off.

*

All the smart people in the North have gone South or West...I got out of New York State (upstate) in 1981...the few working people left support the government workers and the welfare class..

*

not the right question.

it is not a north / south issue. it is urban (commie) vs rural (constitutionalists). Mostly rural states, would be immensely better off without the commie urban dominated states. Simply don’t care about the future of the urbanites.

Specifically, Texas would be better off without the drag of the commies and if we seceded, I would hope and pray, that the vast majority of the rat infestation would leave for their commie utopia.

*

Unless GOD gives us a miracle... you will find out but it will not just be the South alone. Most Americans do not want to live under socialism or worse... and we will not... and not all of us live in the South. Build a wall... shoot them when they try to breach it. Let them eat one another in the USSA... we will prosper and give praise to GOD in the USA.

Operating profits are taxed at the headquarters, owners’ profits aren’t.

The most illuminating thing I heard about the South and the North came form an old black friend in Mass. many years ago: “We had it good here until those [southern] ‘field niggers’ started coming up here”.

The War on Poverty was/is instigated as a ‘war on southern migration’. I’ve heard aid to Mexico described in much the same terms, years ago.
