What should the President do if South Carolina secedes from the Union and fires on Federal troops?

but not your country if you are a liberal, a socialist, a Green, a Muslim, an atheist, a homosexual, black or Spanish speaking, or (dare I say it) a Keynesian New Englander! Can't any of these groups of people be allowed to claim to say that the United States is there country too?
11 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoSo when will conservatives demand that San Diego and San Francisco change their names because they're Spanish?
Because they are Spanish names, and this is a no, no for the conservative "English as a compulsory language" crowd, since they like to see no bilingualism in the USA, and want to boot out the Mexicans. So when will the names of these cities change?
