Think you've got it bad? I'm in Cook County!!
If you have the opportunity, remind your lib acquaintances that thorazine comes in a suppository version. They'll probably see that as a very big plus.
LOL!!!!
Then, we can reopen Vieques for target practice... :)
Come to think of it we can combine all the Liberal Socialist America Haters, in one state, or else take Saskatcuan and make it Moorestan.
Anyone who would like to be added to my "Secession Talk" ping list, please so indicate.
Really hard to find though.
Do you want Liberals traveling through Jesusland, from Metrocrapolis to Metrocrapolis? Give'em PR and call'em fortunate...
Don't know about the first part -- it could happen. But I don't know whether Northeasterners really have as much in common with Canadians as people think right now.
First of all, they'll come to resent Newfoundland and the Atlantic provinces and the subsidies they receive. We joke about the Northeast being stagnant and decaying, but they are used to more change, dynamism, and development than many Canadians are comfortable with. Canadians demand and get more security and stability and stagnation than Americans want or need or can put up with.
Second, Anglo-Canadians can be pretty arrogant, at least in Ontario, and I can't imagine New Yorkers sitting still for that, or the Irish and Italians of Boston or the ethnic masses of Chicago and Detroit sitting still for a new set of White Protestant overlords. Of course it looks different over the border, and Canadians think New Yorkers are arrogant and domineering and don't want to take orders from them either.
But there's still a brash, unruly spirit in American cities that doesn't sit well with many Canadians. And the American Revolution is perhaps more of a divide between us and them than the Civil War is between North and South. It may be that Detroiters or Philadelphians or Brooklynites have very little with timid and deferential people from Kingston or Halifax or Campbelltown.
Third, there's the problem of the French in Quebec which always threatens Canadian national unity. Will the French put up with seeing their power diluted by the addition of millions of new English speaking Canadians? It's said that if America swallowed Canada or Mexico it would cease to be the America that we've long known. It would become something very different and alien to us. That's true of what Canada would become if it took over New York and Chicago, and Canadians, especially French Canadians recognize that.
So all this could just be a joke with little behind it.
When some part of a state feels out of place and unappreciated. (Western Nebraska, Northern Michigan, Western Massachusetts, Eastern Washington or Oregon) it starts to think that maybe it would do better if it joined another state. Then people realize that it won't change much. Instead of being an out-of-place panhandle tacked on to one state, they just become an awkward panhandle hitched to another state that doesn't have any more in common with them.
It may be that we're stuck with each other, and the red and blue states are like an old married couple that doesn't get along with each other, but doesn't think things will be any better with a different partner.
If we just revoke their statehood, they should revert back to being a US territory.
I think until the secession is complete, we should make "fly-over" country - also known as the Red states, God's Country - a "no fly zone". All of the rich people like the "movie stars" and the Kerrys will not get clearance to fly over us and will have to divert to Canada, which unfortuantley for them (do you hear me Arianna Huffington?) it wiil cost them more money for fuel, but thems the breaks.
I love the idea of Liberals moving to Cannukistan, but I think the move should be oneway, no comebacks to the U.S., and CLOSE the BORDER, LOL!
I'll bet crack is legal in the United States of Canuckistan...and NAMBLA is a political party with 20+% of the elected politicians...football is outlawed and sports scores can not be kept...children are dropped off at a government hospital where they are raised by a bureacrat and bow to a picture of Hitlery in between calls to allahu fubaru constantly...and achievers are persecuted, the Holy Bible is outlawed and Mein Koran challenges Oprah's "My LIFE" for best seller...ahhh, I need a cold beverage.
Canada this and Canada that.
All these libs can talk about since the election is moving to Canada.
How come no liberals want to move to Mexico?
Or Cuba!!
Excellent idea. Let the blues seceed. Then have W really seal the borders. Strict immigration control. Make 'em pay to get in and pay to leave. Soak every last one. They want oil, gas, food, pay the piper. NO MORE FREE RIDES!!!!!
