Well, hell.
From the whole damn beginning, our war for independence was a stupid mistake, if you ask me. Maybe the only good part was the six-year term limit for our presidents, at least this kept idiots like Johnson and Clabbins from completely screwing things up too bad.
Our problems all boil down to the fact that we are an artificial country and our so called "independence" ended up being a boon for the Yankees and a bust for us. Yeah, the 1903 emancipation bill was a sop to the Frogs and Limeys, and guess what? Slavery is still legal in the US of A the last time I looked! Oh, sure, only some Yankee Red Indians and Missouri farmers still keep slaves, but it is still legal up there and it ain't here. So what the hell did we fight that war for anyway?
As far as that goes, we are really about as independent from the Yankees now as we were before our so called "Glorious Rebellion".
Sure, we have our own brown money, but New York Jew-boys run the printing presses that print it and the banks it gets deposited in.
Sure we have an army, navy, and air force, but Yankee engineers and capitalists sell us the airplanes, tanks, and submarines we can't make ourselves - and Yankees tell us when we can use them.
Sure we have our own government, but about half of Congress and 2 of our last 3 Presidents got their Law Degrees at Harvard god-damn University in god-damn Boston fer Chrissakes!
Last time I checked, our GDP was about 1/30th of the USofA's and less than even Mexico and Irkutskia, and we couldn't stop the Orange Free State from conquering us if they wanted to!
Ever since oil-rich Sequoyah and Texas left in 1910 for greener pastures back in the USofA, the whole world has been just waiting for us to implode. Hell, if it weren't for the fact the the USofA doesn't want most of our bankrupt states back - and has been willing for the last 100 years to fight wars to keep France, England, Spain, and Mexico from gobbling us up piecemeal - I doubt we'd even still be a country.
And guess what we get out of these wars the Yankees fight for us? God-forsaken miscegenist Dago hell-holes like Cuba and Santo Domingo - places the Yankees rightly don't want and are happy to let us poor indebted neighbors administer for them. Oh, and don't forget how they made us repay that debt during in the Great War: 150,000 dead Johnny Rebs buried in France and Belgium!
I guess the one good thing about being the USofA's slap bitch is that they were willing to ship all our freed Blackies off to that huge colony they maintain for their manumitted slaves in west Africa somewhere. God only knows what we would have done with ours since they outnumbered us 2 to 1!
