South's declining relevence on the federal level

[Caliga]

  Texas is most definitely NOT The South.  Texas is Texas.

[Zanza]

or the CSU in Germany: angry revanchists with appropriate representation, but never again in a position of national leadership. (And thank their God for that!)

Angry revanchists? WTF? And the CSU is currently in a position of national leadership, being part of the government coalition.

Confederacy= South, West begins at El Paso.

[Berkut]

Texas is what the South wishes it could be.

 Oh, its greater than .05%, Caliga. Given the right conditions, it could reach 30% or so. For now, I think it poops around 1-2%.

Still, i'm going to have the last laugh. While my country may be consigned to chains because of its lack of a national consciousness, I will do a great service for my country. Look for me to go down in history- I will do something to further the cause of Southern independence if it is the death of me.

Promise?

[Lettow77]

 If I stay in this. country, brain, I promise. But there's always emmigration to derail me from serving my nation, unfortunately. And the depressing obligations that come of being a familied man, later in life.

Still, I think I can awaken national consciousness in my state. We may eventually hope for a role akin to the PQ.

You may eventually hope for another dinner roll, but it doesn't mean you'll be getting one.

You got a source for that?

[Eddie Teach]

It's believable if the poll includes 12 year olds.

the Odum institute regularly polls 12% favouring independence if it could be peacefully gained. Another book I recently read, I think it was called the psychology of sectionalism, found around 8%. Of course, I undershot these results to be more believable for my languish audience, but thank you for asking.
