Does anyone really think this is a possibility? The U.S. becoming like Europe containing many countries within it's current borders?

Travel 500 miles in any direction and you would think you are in a different country .
Americans don't seem to have anything in common to hold them together any more .
Truly sad .
Don't know if it will happen ,but a lot of people would like to try .

I travel from coast to coast and border to border. I agree with a lot of what you say. There is no common bond in America anymore.
This country wasn't founded on putting your tail between your legs and giving up because your 401K tanked and a guy you don't like is living in the Whitehouse! It's a good sign that we have forgotten what REALLY bad times are like, but too many folks are acting like common quitters lately. Snap out of it!

I was a little lost myself
Alaska could be quite self suffecient with all of the natural rescources it has.
unless Russia decided to absorb it

No, it was founded on individual freedom, limited government and as a Constitutional Republic.
Sadly, that has all changed to a large degree and that is why you see the fracturing, the turmoil and the political, financial and societal mess we are in.
It is what it is.

I guess you could say the same about Mexico absorbing CA, AZ, NM and TX. Cuba absorbing FL. And Canada absorbing WA, ID, MT, ND, MN, WI, MI, NY, VT, ME, CT and PA.

yeah right. Last I heard Mexico was already taking those states back over. Canada barely ahs enough strength to open a soda let alone take ONE of those mentioned states by force
Get the Newfies drunk and you might be surprised what strength they have.[:)]

Been there done that in edmonton last year. It was -63 degrees there F and the only thing that happened at the bar was a drunk blonde wound up hitting on me
Yes it would be interesting. I wonder what the gun laws would be like ??
It wasn't supposed to be what it is now. It was supposed to be a collection of sovereign states (countries) bound together with a confederation and later a Constitution.
Somehow over time each state has given up its sovereignty to the federal government, much like many people want to give up the sovereignty of the United States to the Un.
More likely to go the other way. The great nation of North America (United States, Canada and Mexico).
James, I would have to agree with you on that
The national debt, Social Security, Medicare plus all the mess we are adding now. There will be a time when the debt that has been piled up will destroy the nation.
Some states or groups will form seperate nations while others may be absorbed into Mexico, Canada or others. It is very likely that one grouping will be similar to the Confederacy.
+1 on Alaska
well see Sarah Palin might make it as president yet..........
Well I guess the more realistic question is do you see enough americans willing to fight for their rights to make a difference
no i don't.

+1 I was about to post the same, but when I saw JamesRK has posted I new he already said it and said it better.

And with the homogenization effort that is ongoing, each of these states loses more and more of its individual identity and thus ever more of its sovereignty every year. National democracy destroys the individual State Borders that provided us with the only diversity that gave us any strength. Multi-culture apparently applies only to color, not to culture.
Well said, JamesRK.

Well at least you made the logical leap to understand what I meant even if you see it a different way! [:)]
do you think the coast states, being more liberial, would ban together?
With no one left for them to "tend" to ,I think they would swiftly "help"each other to death.[^][^][^][^][^]

[V][V][V]As usual you nailed it.
SC is sitting pretty good with Fort Jackson, the largest army base in the country, along with paris island, macintire NG , and shaw afb. Now lets see what other little country can we aquire? Now you inlanders will pay a high tax on all the imports we transport from Charleston. Good luck. [}:)][}:)]
Better look at your northern and southern neighbors. I think they may have just a little bit more firepower than your small training post at Ft. Jackson.
Ft Bragg and Ft Stewart absolutely dwarf Ft Jackson in size and number of personnel.[:0]
