I like VDH but this is a dumb article. These morons on each coast don’t make decisions for us. It’s the low information voters and an increasingly militant influence from Obama’s people, of all colors. The leeches, moochers, welfare brood mares, ignorant milennials, class warfare haters and a host of other scam artists is what is driving this country into a craphole.

The Coastal Royalty —

That explains their obsession with global warming — the rising seas might just flood their coastal royalty and set the rest of us free.

There is also the separate class of people who have somehow risen to the top of the political profession without ever really experiencing American life and culture.

They have lived in a fish bowl where they matriculated through indoctrination and stepped into implementation of all things liberal.

They neither understand nor care what the heritage of America is all about. The Obama administration is an illustration of this powerful sub-culture that is protected and nourished by an adoring media made up of people who may have lived a more normal life, but for reasons unexplained, now seem to resent and even despise the rest of us who are still there.

tech geeks who pay $2,000 a month for studio apartments and drive BMWs in Menlo Park, Palo Alto, or Mountain View.

In 1985 maybe. You couldn't rent a parking space in Palo Alto for that now.

Yep. They're self-appointed neo-aristocrats. Some of them would make good enough canned dog food.

We need to expel the coasts from the Union. DC to Boston will be called "East Libtardistan." San Diego to San Francisco will be called "West Libtardistan." All who voted for Barak Obama in 2012 will be required to leave the United States and emigrate immediately to either East of West Libtardistan. This phase of the plan will be called "Operation Boxcar."

Naturally, we will help resettle all of the conservatives trapped behind enemy lines into our Heartland. They are our countrymen, after all.

Once the dust has settled, the Liberal Elites will be living with their coalition partners, enjoying the libtard hell they wished on the rest of us.

And we'll move forward with building a free, prosperous country free of their corrosive influences.

They can continue to deny the existence of the Knockout Game with their Coalition Partners, while we enjoy safe streets and schools. We'll build the Keystone Pipeline and "drill baby drill" while they shiver in the dark, paralyzed with fear of their Democrat-voting neighbors.

And yes, I am serious about this. Kicking these 'Rat vermin out of the country is the only way forward at this point.

It begins with accepting the simple fact that Democrats are not Americans. They are not our countrymen. They are foreigners. Let's just admit that fact, do what is necessary, and start building America again.

Maybe. But the richest town per capita in the USA is now Midland, Texas which is about as conservative and opposite of liberal elites as can be.

The coasts will become poor due to their crappy economic policies .

The Flyover Zone is the heart of the country, and I suspect both coasts could fall into their respective oceans and the heart of the country would keep ticking over.

LOL! Here now, I'll have you know I paid only $700 for a one-bedroom in Mountain View in the early 1980's. I buzzed by the old place about six months ago just to see what was up. Uh...it's a glass-embedded office building now and I'm thinking my seven bills wouldn't buy me a coffee card now.

Those were the good days, though. Amdahl to Zilog...you'd see a bunch of guys pouring a flat of concrete in a field and a week later there was a building...

——We need to expel -————

I have been using the word purge

Expel is a good synonym to add a little diversity to how we must rid ourselves of the cancer afflicting the Republic

I have been using the term Neoeuropa for the east but have no word for the west

Curiously, when describing the north center, 40 years ago Robert Heinlein dubbed it the Chicago Imperium. How did he know?

He described the west as the California Confederacy

Same areas the best doctors congregate and the best Italian restaurants are found.
