The smarmy elitism in this article is absolutely stunning, not to mention a complete failure in logic.

I realize this is just a joke, or a socialist blowing hot air, but if far left states want to leave the union we shouldn't be the ones to stop them. They would starve on their own demand for government services, and despite the claims that Seattle has things that everyone "needs", Americans would be moving to other options faster than you can say "Welkome Komrade."

Seattle would become the city version of Ayn Rand's Twentieth Century Motor Company in Atlas Shrugged.

They aren't taking a piece of MY country without a fight. :D

East Tennessee stands with the Union!
