Sure, we’d be happy too. May we take the Western States, excluding California, with us?
Sure. Love to.
Unfortunately, the last time we tried it didn’t work so well. Seems the Federales got this image of grass growing in the streets of New York and Boston did a really nasty “backsie” on us.
You get that cleared up and we’re gone.
conque the north, quaranteen the left on manhattan. Makes as must sense as the absurd notion of succeeding.
*wipes eyes*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Wait till I get down there. Please.
It’s amazing how many get sucked into this idiotic argument.
Wow
I can honestly say I have never been prouder of my Home State if it makes this Putz that upset!
As a former NY’er, I ask, why is everyone leaving the North in the first place? Why are they moving to red states? The South isn’t the land of whipping slaves picking cotton anymore, its where industry is moving. The North will tax itself out of existence, and have the southern revenue diverted to them so they can survive. Far fetched?? Maybe not.
Not a bad idea. Wait for all the moving vans to stop dividing the sane from the statists, then immediately declare war on the north. Use neutron devices to depopulate the northern states, move back in, and then build the wall along the southern border.
Problem solved, gains consolidated, 17th Amendment stricken, 14th Amendment’s ‘penumbras and emanations’ illuminated, 9th and 10th Amendments reaffirmed.
Move the Capitol the the deepest, darkest red state you can find and then let the world know that a real superpower is back on the scene. Hit us with a plane this time, and you’ll pull back an irradiated stump. Our advice would be to find and destroy the AQ cells in your country within the next 6 months or expect a nuclear candigram from us.
Oh, and extend the ballistic nuclear defense shield system to Poland, the UK, Germany, Israel, Japan, Taiwan, the Philipines, Singapore, and our other actual allies.
Doesn’t he know it’s been tried before — with catastrophic consequences?
Oh, by the way, I think the South should stay and work to see its values become the dominant values in America. Apparently that’s what’s worrying the left.
Isn’t it you Texans turn this time to start things off?
(Bet they’d put up a high, impenetrable fence around the South Carolina District before they ever would secure the Mexico border!)
Can Arizona be included with southern states?
He's trying to make a sensation by saying outrageous things and provoking angry responses. See his assault on the Pope a few years back.
He's also the guy who wrote a book in praise of "seriousness" in culture in a "silly age." I guess the "new seriousness" didn't take for Lee.
Reason Magazine Online has published a very good critique.
Please hurry up so I can breath free again in MD.
[Art.] The sad truth is that “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” can only be achieved at this point if the nation is split in half.
They'd get Riker's Island and Governor's Island, too. We'd get Ellis Island, the port of entry for millions of American ancestors, and Bedloe's Island, where the Statue of Liberty Stands. But hey, they'd get Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and the Hamptons -- how could they complain?
Furthermore, we'd uproot Cornell and Princeton and ship them up to Vermont -- their faculties, too, after we tattoo their foreheads with indelible marks of perpetual exile, and expel them from the U.S.A. under death interdicts against their return.
We'd do the same thing with Gay Bay entire .... including UC Berkeley.
And Seattle.
And then we'd all partaayyy to the sounds of The Heavy, "How Do You Like Me Now?"
