Works for me. I'd love to finally move back to Tennessee, and live amongst sane people once more. :)
Regarding the northern blue states, it would only be fair.
I've spent most of my life in New York, where people are relatively sane...compared to SEATTLE that is. This place is odd.
The Blue States should secede if they want to, but I suspect that they are all talk & no action. Secession is after all one of the founding principles of the Republic.
Blue state folk are just like their UN brethren: They badmouth America, but they don't have the guts to leave it for a more appropriate place such as Europe or Canada.
"This place is odd."
If Seattle is odd, then I live
just outside odd-lite. ;o)
Absolutely. I think it would be WONDERFUL if the blue states seceded from the Union...think of how much easier life would be for the REST OF US who live in the red states!
Methinks it's a shame that the South lost its War for Independence in 1865: the Yankee's victory is now coming back to haunt us. The southern states had just as much of a right to secede & govern themselves that the Revolutionaries did in 1776, & because the truths laid out in our Declaration of Independence are eternal, the blue states should leave us in peace ASAP & not look back.
BYE, BYE, BLUE!
If the blue states secede,
I'll be movin' home!
The Blue States, now called the Socialist People's Republic of America will institute concentration 're-education' camps and the Red States would have to go and topple their dictator within a few years anyway
No, once they secede, to hell w/ them. Let 'em wither & rot on the socialist vine that they have planted.
"The Blue States, now called the Socialist People's Republic of America will institute concentration 're-education' camps and the Red States would have to go and topple their dictator within a few years anyway."
A better solution would be to re-locate the people with "blue state" mentality out of the country permanently and we keep everything for ourselves. We can then get back to the business of running this country as it should be, a republic in which the Bill of Rights and the United States Constitution are upheld as they were intended in the first place.
My goodness.
Please forgive my manners.
I meant to ping you, too.

"will institute"?? They are called "universities" my friend.
Reminds me of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, in which he writes about one planet's solution to useless parasites. They constructed two space arks, and told everybody that their sun was going to explode, or that a planet-gobbler was on the way, or that whatever it would be, it was gonna be really bad. Ark-B was reserved for telephone sanitizers, fashion consultants, PR execs and the like, whereas Ark-A was reserved for the rest of the planet.
Ark-B was sent off first, with the explanation that it was taking a lot of time to round up the working people for Ark-A, and that Ark-B needed to get going. Ark-B rocketed off (pre-programmed to crash-land safely on another planet with no hope of repair), and the rest of the planet stayed and lived happily ever after...for awhile...until a particularly virulent disease, spread by telephone receivers, spread wildly through the population due to the lack of telephone sanitizers, and the planet's homesteaders were quickly wiped out.
But barring that unhappy ending, we could try the same thing. Red staters can tell Blue staters, "You were right. We were wrong. 'The Day after Tomorrow' is absolute fact, and we all need to bolt to Mexico. But you ethnic and wymin's studies majors, class-action lawyers, NEA teachers, Hollywood actors, and fellow culturists are absolutely critical to recreate our culture down there, so you go first, and we'll stay back here to round up all your drug stashes, self-mutilation kits and Manifesto collections, and haul'em down for you. Don't worry about finding the way, the illegals will guide you back to their old haunts. Don't worry about all the military you'll see at the border. They're there to assist you across the border. So Bon Voyage, and we'll turn out all the lights when we leave..."
I think we might just have to drag you home regardless!
Like the carpet baggers & their ilk after the war.
