I gotta be frank(no not AL Franken). I got on here as a joke with about hundred or so other "moles" to gawk at the stupidity. You people are sad, defensive, and just plain strange . . . .

I beleive I'll be moving to contribute to a much better society. One with a better market (yes by like 2 fold)and ,yes, free health care. "

You're moving to Cuba?

Your guy Alan Colmes just came on in my town and he is getting ready to talk about the REALLY CHILDISH NEW IDEA THAT YOU LIBS HAVE---The blue flu on Inauguration Day, don't buy anything so that the economy will tank and more people will be out of jobs. Lets see, have I forgotten any of the other stupid ideas floating around in DUmmieland?

Naw, I want to shake the dust from my sandals in testimony against the folks in Frisco & LA.

If they want their socialist paradise, they can do it without my tax dollars.

And what would you live on without the coasts or industrial ports?

You're spouting garbage. All the important port growth these days is in the south. The northeast is rotting away slowly but surely. Its cities are old and rotting, its population base is declining, and its culture is a diversitopian dumpster. We'd be better off without it in the long run.

Without the counties within the blue states which voted for Bush, the red counties would find it impossible to get water, electricity, milk, meat, veggies, fruit or much of anything else without importing it from China and elsewhere. I'm sure the people of arid red counties who have their water ripped away by L.A. would be happy to see them secede and be cut off.

a version of this has probably been posted before....but it seems to fit in this thread, so I thought I'd re-post a somewhat ammended version

The Republic of Texas

Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from the Union (please refer to the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848).

Y'all can just join up with us!

Here is just some of what Texas has to survive as a Republic:

1. NASA is just south of Houston, Texas ~ we will control the space industry.

2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States.

3. Defense Industry. (we have over 65% of it) The term, "Don't mess with Texas," will take on a whole new meaning.

4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years.

5. Natural Gas - Again we have all we need

6. Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in producing computer chips and communications: Small places like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola,Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Semiconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Delphi, Nortel, Alcatel, Etc, Etc The list goes on and on.

7. Health Centers - We have the largest research centers for Cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world and other large health planning centers.

8. We have enough colleges to keep us going: UT Texas, A&M, Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT, Texas Women's University, Ivy grows better in the south anyway.

9. We have a ready supply of workers (just open the border when we need some more)

10. We have control of the paper industry, plastics, insurance, etc.

11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard. We don't have an army but since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an army in 24 hours if we need it. If the situation really gets bad, we can always call Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over a couple Texas Rangers. Or get in touch with our buddies over at Lockheed Martin or Boeing they could supply us with an ample amount of jets.

12. We are totally self sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs and several types of grain, fruit and vegetables and lets not forget seafood from the gulf. And everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. Don't need any food.

This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic Of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.

(pssssst ~ BTW, communications = the space center in Houston)

Signed, The People in Texas

Fine by me as long as we can pack Rice onto the back of a couple trucks and move it up to yankeeland. The school is a left wing dumpster and Harvard wannabe that thinks it can excel by making itself look as much like a northeastern school as possible.

Hmm.

New Orleans.

Savannah.

Newport News.

Charleston.

Miami.

Jacksonville.

Pascagoula.

Houston.

Beaumont.

Dallas (all we need do is build the Trinity Ship Channel extension that the eco-weenies stopped dead).

Oh...and Area 51 in Nevada.

We'll be building starships and lunar colonies. Meanwhile, you'll be forbidding any dredging of those precious industrial ports because dredging offends Mother Gaia...

I truly believe that my children will see the breakup of the United States, with Western chunks reverting to Mexico and Northeastern masses joining Ottawa/Montreal. The balance of Canada and the middle of the US will unite to become the United States

Sorry but Mexico ain't conquering anything in any kind of future I can envision...

Ahhhhh but you mustn't forget your own, and there are a lot of us here in enemy territory. Personally, if I could I would move down south, be rid of these loons, and even have a warmer climate. Can't for a few years though. Imagine what it's like for us!!

Glad I found the freepers, it helps keep us sane here in bluezone.
