Divorce Decree again: We Want a Divorce.
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950s, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right, so let’s just end it on friendly terms. We can smile, chalk it up to irreconcilable differences, and go our own ways.
Here is a model dissolution agreement. Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes. We don’t like re-distributive taxes so you can keep them. You are alsowelcome to keep the liberal judges and the ACLU.
Since you hate guns and war, we’ll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O’Donnell (you are however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move them). We’ll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies, and illegal aliens. We’ll keep the hot Alaskan Hockey Moms, greedy CEOs, and Rednecks.
We’ll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .
You can make nice with Iran, Palestine, and France, and we’ll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or way of life are under assault, we’ll protect them militarily.
We’ll keep our Judeo-Christian Values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, and Shirley McClain. You can have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill. We’ll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volvo, Subaru and Yugo you can find. You can give everyone healthcare, that is if you can find any practicing doctors (that is“practicing”, Howard Dean) who will follow to your turf. We’ll continue to believe health care is a luxury and not a right.
We’ll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and The National Anthem. I’m sure you’ll be happy to substitute Imagine, I’d Like to Teach The World To Sing, Kum Ba Ya, or We Are the World.
We’ll practice trickle down economics, and you can give trickle up poverty its best shot. Since it often so offends you. we’ll also keep our History, our Name, and our Flag.
Would you agree to this? In the spirit of friendly parting, I’ll bet you ANWAR on who will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
You
It could never be resolved. None of us would be willing to give up homes, farms, businesses, family, friends, etc. to move away and make a new start. Whether it is greed or stubbornness ... it simply could not be resolved.
Maybe if we had no choice IE ... if a bomb that contaminated the whole half of the nation ... that half would be forced into such a decision. We are at base a Christian nation. Would we come to the aid of our fellow Americans? Yes. ... With conditions and exceptions.
Something to consider. We actually might have to make decisions of this type sooner than we imagine. We do not want to think along these lines; however, long range planning of possible scenarios is a good idea.
Something a bit more practical first ...!
What an excellent post. Do you mind if I share it with my also fed-up friends and family? Unfortunately, we are stuck in Wisconsin with our two liberal senators Feingold and Kohl; and don’t forget our wonderful Governor Doyle; so I doubt something like this would EVER pass with them. They have no minds of their own. Doyle is begging at the trough of the US government every day-it is embarrassing.
