I'm fairly certain North Dakota is already part of Canada.

South Carolina happily in Europe with New England and friends? Rigggghhht. This guy never read any American Civil War history.

Hope to see some change.
America is now quite boring now. All jingoists, "God, Jesus" chanting, flag waving morons...:hmm:

And nothing spices up things better than a bloody real civil war!:arrgh!:

Such crackpots are always there, but at least the guy is brave, one has to give him that. Most people would at least have waffled a bit. Say "sometime in the next ten years" or even muffier than that. Pinning his prediction down to less than a month's span?

In the unlikely event that it actually happens sometime, he'll be a visionary of a sort.

In the impossible event it actually happens on schedule, he deserves a Nobel Prize, because he'll have found a way to scientifically calculate the effects of countless psychological, sociological and economic factors and integrate them into a highly accurate model.

In a sense, I almost wish he's right, because then it'll be one huge step for socialscience. Overnight it'll have gotten out of the "soft science" category and into the hard.

But then, if he's right, we are really screwed. While there are many nations that want to see America get pulled down from its leader spot, I don't think any nation in the world is ready for America to go down in 2010.

Fortunately, he's just a crackpot...

So, which one of these do you cover?

A Very Super Market 12-30-08 01:48 PM

I'm insulted. Why do we get the states that no one cares about? The midwest is like one big Saskatchewan, except for Wisconsin, which is known to be made entirely of cheese. We have enough cheese.

geetrue 12-30-08 01:49 PM

This is why we have to take Russia serious no matter what they or their spokesmen say. Sure we can laugh at the thoughts of Mexico taking any portion of the USA back, but we can't laugh at the fact that this is what our enemy wants.


The only civil war I see is when they try to take our guns away ... door to door searches would become very unhealthy for the authorities. :yep:

Kinda like when the revenuers came after the moonshiners.:D

To predict a civil war is one thing. To pretend that you know the exact outcome of said war, and the result of redrawn borders is entirely different.

Not sure if I'd use the term "crackpot". More likely he's just trying to get some attention or retain his relevency in Putin's New Old Russia.

The funny thing is that, when this DOESN'T happen in 2010, no one will remember to post him up on it.

Oh, and oddly enough, that while I think the good professor's a media whore, I ALSO think that we are, as a nation, teetering on a precipice. While I highly doubt that any civil war will occur, I do find it likely that states will eventually begin reasserting their Constitutional powers, rendering the beast that has grown to be the Federal Government nearly completely ineffective (as opposed to its current state of nearly completely ineffective, right? :know: ).

It's just getting too damned partisan out there.

Shouldn't Florida be ruled by Cuba?

AntEater 12-30-08 02:40 PM

To spin this a little further:
East Coast = either 13 colonies or a rebirth of the confederacy...
Florida goes to Cuba, mainly because the cubans are tired of boat people trying to land in Cuba.
Mexico tries to annex Texas but fails due to heroic texas resistance, but takes back New Mexico, Arizona etc.
The flagship of the Texas navy, 100+ year old RTS (ex USS) Texas renders valuable gunfire support to the defenders of houston, then sinks entire mexican navy in the battle of Galveston.
Louisiana becomes some kind of a voodocracy like Haiti under "Papa Doc"
Arnie declares independence for California, is elected as president for life and changes the Name to Federal Republic of Kalifornia.
Hawaii becomes a japanese prefecture and base to the new carrier fleet of the newly renamed imperial japanese navy.
Alaska rejoins the russian Federation, due to good diplomacy by Sarah Palin.
In her honor, Juneau is renamed into Palinsk.
An evanglical sect tries to take over the North Dakota missile fields in order to bring about the end of the world, but is twarted by canadian special forces.
Shortly after, Canada and Kalifornia clash violently over Washington State.
In the second battle of Seattle, heroic troops comprised of the Seattle grunge brigade, the San Francisco Rainbow brigade combat team, the Berkeley Red Banner division and the elite Kalifornia Kommandos hold out against superior canadian forces and ultimately hold the city. Due to chaos, Bigfoots scavenge in abandoned seattle suburbs.
The new confederacy reaches an agreement with the northern states to divide the Atlantic Fleet and regarding the further lease of Norfolk as a naval base.
The new confederacy also adapts the Euro :P

Dread Knot 12-30-08 02:43 PM

The entire population of the midwest is probably greater than that of Canada combined. Who is joining who? :lol: Maybe they'll move their capital from Ottawa to Fond du Lac. ;)
