Upon further review, why stop at California? Now that Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana have joined the unholy coastal alliance, let them all go. Look at yesterday’s electoral map.
Yeah, we’ll have hurricanes, but we’ll also have the oil, oil shale, natural gas, plenty of the cleanest coal (Grand Escalante Staircase), wind power generation, and we have no problem with nuclear power.
Just letting the imagination run wild.
I was bouncing the idea around in my head before the election in anticipation of the clear delineation of our country along ideologies for the past 5 presidential election cycles. It’s clear there are those who believe in European socialism (but won’t move there...PUHLEEZ) and those of us who cling to our religion and guns, oh, and the Founding Fathers and the constitution, etc.
I proposed the notion of all the red states joining, seceding and becoming our own country. I posted the idea in another thread, but agree that our new conservative nation would be stronger, have all the business, military, energy, and the liberals would have all the poor with their hands out. Eventually, the blue states would go bankrupt, we could take them over and have our country back. Of course, by then, they would realize their liberal ideology was a miserable failure by experiencing it themselves, and not forcing the rest of us down that toilet along with them.
A gal can dream, right?
