What do you think about the possibility of DC being a state, /pol/? Personally I say the more the merrier. I think Puerto Rico should be a state as well. Though, we may need to make the blue field longer on the flag so the stars don't get too small.
>>79408227
They won't have to change a thing, Texas will leave to set the 50 status quo again.
>>79408227
Just give it back to MD. There is literally no need for this.
>>79408437
Texas won't leave. If they do, they'll quickly be reclaimed. A few thousand farmboys with guns can't stand up to America's 2,300,000 strong military
>>79408542
There's a large military base in Texas, and I guarantee that they will take Texas' side.
I like having 50 states, it's such a nice even number. If it gets in, one needs to go. I vote Mississippi, since it literally brings nothing of value to the United States.
>>79408604
Still not enough. And believe it or not, not many people who aren't from texas, support texas.
>>79408542
Most of the active military is ready to launch a coup, so I'm not really worried.
>>79408542
I won't fight the Texans. Fuck that.

Then our military is the dumbest sack of shit the world has ever seen. One bad president, and "OMAHGERD, WE NEED TO START A COUP"
New Columbia, abbreviated as "NC" - which conveniently could also stand for "Nigger Central"
DC is too small to be a state.
Plus they don't have the money to set up a functioning state government.
Once they're a state, they have to stop sucking off the tit of the federal government, and they're not prepared to do that.

Nope. You go to Virgina or Maryland. You are NOT getting two Senators for just being a district that was NEVER meant to be a State. Join an existing State or deal with it. Other States will never allow it.
>>79408227
just put them into maryland, they don't need snowflake status.
>>79408965
That was 50 years ago. Today's tech and numbers would make short work of Vietnam
>>79409036
Not only that, but the land was ceded to the Federal Government for use as a national capital only.
If it becomes a state, MD could sue.
This is just a sad attempt to get 2 extra Democrat senators.
>>79409163

>not an argument

>>79408721
this is delusional.
I had the privilege of traversing the United States every summer from 12-19. Other than the entire debunked arguement that the army would fight its own citizens (drones can't execute search and seizure orders, cops won't abuse 2A, etc), that's bullshit in general. Support for Texas is relatively high outside of the yankee north-east. Independence Texas might be a pipe dream, but it's enough of a economic threat to make Washington shut the fuck up.
None of this will happen unless Hillary is elected and threatens 2A and control over borders.

Texas is not all cowboys. A large portion of Texas is full of cowardly liberals just like anywhere else. And I'm not a Yankee. I'm from the South. I also think an independent South would be a good thing. But just Texas jumping to civil war over one bad president is too far, and I'd join the Government's side in such an event.

I am convinced it's all DnC shills
>>79409630
Guess what, dumbass, if Texas left, you would have to, or prove my point by cowering in the corner, because there will be a civil war if you do it.
>>79409247
Can't Texas break up into 5 states without congressional approval? I don't remember where I read that, but I know it from somewhere. That would give the areas probably 6-8 republican senators. Austin is a lost cause politically so 2 auto democrats, but 8 republican senators for 4 is better than 2 democrats for 0.

If you and I get into a fight, and I beat the fucking piss out of you, you don't suddenly "win" because I walk away before killing you.
The US didn't withdraw from Vietnam because we were losing or because we were being outmatched militarily... we withdrew because of the unpopularity of the war back home.
>>79409840
We would most likely just shell them into oblivion anyway
>>79408227
but..wasnt dc already a state ? since they vote during general élections ect
>>79408227
Puerto Rico should be a state yes, they are effectively already one in everything but name.
DC was very deliberately set up to not be a state. Making it one would be retarded.

Also, you're clearly confused, as I never said you were a yank.
You clearly have some cognitive dissonance, as you would support a cessation movement but not if one state pulls the gun too quick. Why would you fight your own theoretically teammates?
This is all hypothetical nonsense anyways, as there will be no such movements unless a major war or disaster happens.

My thoughts
>>79408227
They should call it Niggerfornia.
>>79408227
I never understood why DC was never a state to begin with.
That being said, Puerto Rico and Hawaii for that matter should be cut off from the US and only have small portions of the islands rented out for military bases. Thats the only reason why we have these islands to begin with. The less shitskin tumors we have attached to this country, the better.
>>79410726
Because as the center of America's federal government, the territory itself is meant to remain impartial in the process.
>>79410025
Shell Texas and I am one of many that will take the fucking Samson option ;)
>>79408227
Haha Obama is destroying all of your traditions before you manage to get him out of the door and gone. That's actually kinda sad, thinking about it.
>>79410123
I would support peaceful secession. I would want an independent south to be able to build it's new military and economy without fear of American invasion, and would want the New Confederacy, or whatever it would be called, to be able to cooperate with the US.
Texas wants to start a war.
>>79410152

>I never understood why DC was never a state to begin with.
So the federal doings would be free from state politics. Back when state politics actually mattered

>>79408542
Most of the military are Texans and gun lovers, so good luck. Ive lived in Texas for three years so far and EVERYBODY has military experience or is currently in the military.

This isn't Obama's doing. This is basically just polls right now.
>>79410968

>>79410948
>most of the military
False. Texas has the largest military presence for one state, yes. But the other southern states, in particular Georgia, aren't far behind. Add those states to the rest of the US and I would be willing to wager that most of the military is not Texan.
>>79408227

You first for using that weebshit term
>>79408542
>>79408721
1/5th of the US military is Texans, many of them will defect.
Texas has way more than just "a few thousand" gun owners - try 10 million.
Texas also has the largest air force of any state, (State Air National Guard). Pic related, a Texas predator drone. Texas also has a fleet of F-16s, F-15s, and various transport craft. Texas is also home to a huge portion of the US's nuclear silos, which are manned by Texans. On top of that, the Texas National Guard is literally Texas' army, and it controlled by the Governor; and it has 117 armories.
The US Army is also majority-conservative white males (70%) who support gun ownership. Do you honestly think they would attack Texas for the sake of preserving corrupt Democrat central DC's right to expand their power? Get outta here.
DC becoming a state would guarantee Democrat victories for centuries.
>>79411735
I'm a conservative white male who supports gun ownership. But I don't take pity on traitors.
>>79411208
Actually believe it or not I believe most true islander Puerto Ricans are Republicans. Seriously. Daddy Yankee endorsed John McCain for President back in 2008.
That being said, I agree with your point. We need to get rid of our shitskin territories.
Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, the CNMI, American Samoa, etc can just fuck right off. Why do we feel the need to babysit these fucking islands? If we want presence in the Pacific, why dont we just pay a small rental fee for some land to install military bases (a la Diego Garcia island) and be done with it? Certainly beats paying these ungratrful coconut niggers millions in tax free welfare. In the CNMI, Micronesians literally just sit around in free housing, getting drunk all day on your tax dollar. Most Americans dont even know the CNMI exists and its apart of our country and has been draining our tax dollars for decades! Thats just one example I have personal experience in dealing with.
>>79408227
DC should not be a state
In fact, No one should live in DC
That capital should be just that, a capital.

>>79411735

The American flag is over complicated as it is, they should have gone for a single star design similar to Liberia
>>79412141
That's too simple. Also, might as well take the stripes away at that rate. Why would the 13 colonies still get individual representation when the states get just one star?
>>79408227
They are fucking retarded. Its a single city, they are not a state.
>>79412141
Liberal was founded by the US...
>>79412266
The single star would represent all the states, it makes more sense to me than putting 50 of them on it.
However the flag is far to iconic to change it at this stage, it's become acceptable through sheer force of global cultural influence
>>79412397
Yes, I know
>>79412634
Not to me. The States are very different than each other. Each one has a unique culture and it's own government. Seems rather disrespectful to jumble all of them into one star.
>>79408227
You know DC isn't a state on purpose, right? The reasoning is kind of outdated as things have changed but I still don't see why the capitol should be a state.
>>79408227
We should split California into multiple states before we make another blue state.
Never knew d.c stood for district of columbia always thought it stood for district capitol. New columbia, as in the country? Make sense fucked up politics, terrorist sympathizing, thieves...

I like the Fallout flag.
13 stars of the original colonies and then a big star for America as a whole.
Why not just Columbia, though? That's the poetic name for America anyway...
I don't get the point in adding "New" to it.

Hence why we are unable to defeat illiterate farmboys in Afghanistan. The American public is unable to stomach the deaths of a few thousand over the course of a decade in a far away land. What makes you think they'll stomach tens of thousands being killed in a matter weeks fighting against their own countrymen? Even if the public could stand for it, the casualty rate on it's own will be so atrocious that the US Military won't be able to keep up with replacements, not without slashing recruitment standards or reinstitution the draft.
>But we've got nuclear weaposns anon!
Use even one of those and the Russians and Chinese will have all the excuse they'll ever need for a pre-emptive strike. Also, there's the risk that the missile crews will either refuse the order to launch or attack Washington DC instead.
Yankee Hubris everyone.
That's not even counting the fact that Texas wouldn't be your only enemy. Attack a secessionist Texas and you get a cascade effect where more states join the revolt i.e. the final five states to join the Confederacy did so after being ordered to raise troops following Fort Sumter.
>>79424105
>They aren't the South American nation, or British Columbia, they're a new Columbia.
The South American one is Colombia. They called what would eventually become the United States of America, Columbia, long before it became the United States of America.

Typical Yankee faggot with no intelligence or knowledge of history. Just mindlessly regurgitating MUH NORTHERN VICTORY. Despite having every possible advantage in weapons, numbers, and logistics, the North only narrowly won by the slimmest of margins by resorting to burning entire cities and throwing masses of men to be slaughtered in grueling sieges. And this was back when Northerners were proper men and not effeminate faggots like you.

We were losing. That's why we withdrew. The South Vietnamese government had done nothing but lose ground since 1963, that's why we went in the first place.

Would've been cheaper and better to just throw money at Uncle Ho until he flipped and joined our side (he didn't even like the Russians and Chinese anyway).

The Norseman is right. They have no senators or members of the House, but in general elections D.C. is given 3 electoral votes (the minimum for a state, since electoral votes are based on the number of representatives in both chambers of Congress, and every state has two senators regardless of population).
As a Marylander, it's funny to see D.C. license plates that say "Taxation Without Representation."
Then I remember that I live in Maryland.
