For the boys named Bubba you may be right.

For all those troops named Gonzalez and Washington (and there were a bunch like that when I was in, I think the percentage may be even higher now), they may have a different point of view if offered a chance to whup on some white Southern rednecks.

"Chance" being the operative word here.

Southerners make up 41% of the U.S. military, even though their states only make up 25% of the country.

Southerners make up an even higher portion of fighting forces than their proportion of the military.

The Washington's make up a lower portion of U.S. fighting forces than their national demographic percentage.

The Gonzalez's make up an even lower portion of the overall military and a much lower portion of fighting forces, than their national demographic percentage.

White southerners are the largest block of the U.S. military fighting force. Why do you think Obama is doing his damnedest to prevent the military from voting?

Read your history.. the term "Redneck" came from the North,mostly Michigan,given to the farmers by other farmers,not meant in a negative manner,only to describe their hard work in the fields.
I don't know many farmers I would care to arm wrestle with myself.
The rest of the country uses it without regard to what it means.

Back to the Op's question, yes,I would bring as many of my guns and ammo and offer to watch a border in return for living in common sense..

I'm thinking those proud southern girls and boys, defending texas and thereabouts, would feel a little different when their paychecks aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

I had not heard that theory before. The history I read said the term "Red Neck" came from the coal miners in West Virginia who wore red bandanas around their neck during an armed uprising in the early 20th Century.

Lets take it to the next step. How about each county government seceding from Texas, then each city in that county seceding from the county government......................until we are left with 300,000,000 "free" people.

So, what would we call it, KOTEX? Run the tape from Wichita, through OKC to Dallas, right down the turnpike.

We're talking about peaceful, amicable, divorce.

So was Jeff Davis.

What do you do when the Feds won't withdraw the troops they have stationed on Tejas soil?

Wow, another rapier-like jeffobama putdown, but like dogshit, one just scrapse it off the bottom of one's Loveless boots and move on. Really I have to snicker at posts like yours. This from a guy who hid his lunch money when he went to school...
