Not Traverse City, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, or Walloon Lake either!

You'd think that the Dems would have learned something from the Civil War.

Socialism looks good on paper.

I like that idea best. We keep the land and the lefties are left with "semi-autonomous" enclaves (e.g blue counties). They will be responsible for funding and administering their programmes! Also, to leave these enclave to find work will require a special work visa and proof of financial responsibility.

We could do something like in "Escape From New York," wall off the contaminated areas full of liberals and let them all commune with each other and do their gay marriage thing without involving us. I nominate Colorado Springs as the new national headquarters, it is central, well defended and has lots of room to grow.

I agree we should finish Fallujah first, but: we already have what we need. We have the Rotc and the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. After all, I think that is how TeraaaaaaaaZa treated them like. I think that would be all of the uniform power we would need against those spit-balling liberal pansies!

I would gladly join with a few other Michiganders and move to Wisconsin to turn it RED.

There are no blue states. There are only blue cities.

Now THAT is profound, and absolutely true.

If any of my neighbors here in California so much as lift a finger to secede, I will immediately break out the hardware. I can be considered an ad hoc, Union Soldier, and in this case, that means I am with the South and all the other Bush counties.

What about the red voters who live in the blue states? To secede they'd have to deal with these voters in thier own state first. Any of you blue voters in a red state want to move to a blue state? I have a house I'll sell ya, but it won't be cheap.

-----Take the blue COUNTIES, because there are plenty of red counties in nominally blue states. Take the blue counties and make them liberal reservations. This takes socialistic governmental management to a new level. Al Gore (or Hillary) could be the new Blue State Commissar. They could have all the government health care they could afford.-----

...which would not be much, since productive red county citizens would not have to contribute to it, right? How about a modification of this: Put them all on one big reservation, in their own state, perhaps Washington dribbling down into Oregon. Hillary or such could be in charge. Details would have to be worked out for those normal citizens having to move out out of said reservation, we would not want them to suffer any loss of property.

If Detroit becomes "North Winsdor", then Michigan goes yellow. If all of Wayne County(We'll keep the Pointes, Grosse Ile, Plymouth, Northville, Canton, and Livonia) goes, and takes Eastern Washtenaw (Ann Arbor, Ypsi) with it, we'll be as much of a red state as Indiana.

I hate to tell you, but as a Texan I am beginning to think that the yellow Raza Aztlan section probably would end up much bigger. I know there have been professors in many Universitys that have been espousing the idea that Texas and New Mexico and Arizona are really Mexican land and that the Mexicans will come and take it back soon.

Texas already is about 50% Hispanic so by 2010, you might mover that line up about 3 inches.

Yup, they will have a headstart on casinos. Vegas and Foxwoods would be great cash cows for them.
