Probably about as long as our 'modern society' would last if our economy and industry vanished. Civilisation is as thin a veneer here as it is there, the beast just feels further away.
I see, so you are proposing that our economy and industry were already sitting here fully prepped when we settled the country? Building a strong economy and industry has nothing to do with finding huge oil deposits sitting under your feet.

I wonder if that bloodbath will kill more, or less, than the half a million+ deaths that we've caused? Also, the clue is in your definition of freedom as 'ours'. Why would they wish to uphold 'our' values?
Very likely more, watch for the media embargo once the head severing starts though. Wouldn't want the American public to feel guilty

I'm a Theocrat, I support a Theocratic state based on Judaic Christian law.
i'm one of those people that generally gets made fun of because i'm a bible believing christian. you know, salvation, mercy, grace, and the whole nine yards... that being said - ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID????

i wouldn't support a theocracy even if my own pastor was the leader. good man that he is, a theocracy is just plain wrong. UNLESS each and every single citizen of their own free will believes in the exact same theology then you are going to oppressing someone and that is perfectly counter to the idea of faith through free will that the christian faith is predicated upon.
