Maybe it's time to let them go....

Maybe it's time to let all of the southern and conservative states opt out of the United States. Yep, withdraw all support (including defense, welfare, health care, etc.) and let them fend for themselves. If we were to withdraw all governmental establishments (offices, military bases, defense contracting, etc.) what would they have left? Texas bitches the loudest about the Federal Government and gets more in subsidies and government contracting than any other state in the nation. Hypocrites.
