Well said. Read your Ante Bellum history. History may not repeat itself but it sure rhymes. Our political system is dangerously close to failing Democracy as it did 175 years ago. Compromise is becoming like it did then a moral cop out. If it means certain states secede we should let them go this time in peace and gratitude.

No, we can't let them go with "peace and gratitude." Seceded states would just become our own jumbo-sized Gaza Strip -- unstable, poor, susceptible to nefarious influence -- a place of discontent we would have to battle for generations.
