It’s Time For The United States To Divorce Before Things Get Dangerous
The Federalist ^ | April 10, 2018 | Jesse Kelly

Posted on 04/10/2018 9:00:07 AM PDT by fwdude

“When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…” — The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

Divorce is hard, but it’s easier than cutting the brake lines on your wife’s car. It is long past time for an amicable divorce of the United States of America. There is simply no common ground with the Left anymore. We are now the couple screaming at each other all night, every night as the kids hide in their room.

We cannot come together, but we do not have to live like this. The history of the world is nations breaking up and redrawing their borders. If we want to avoid this political divide turning into a deadly one, we should do likewise.

That’s what the left CLAIMS it’s doing now. Of course, when you have a “Constitution” made of putty, you can make it say what you want, thanks to leftist judges.


And that’s the problem. It’s not made of putty, but they think it is.

Baking the cake is a perfect example. The constitution protects the baker’s right to choose to not bake a cake. It does not protect anyone’s right to not be discriminated against by any other person and for any reason whatsoever. Maybe the government can’t discriminate, but individuals have the God given right actually protected right there in the first amendment.

And the extra comical part is that the effort to allow same sex marriage was, at its core, the SCOTUS being used to redefine the meaning of a word. That’s stupid no matter who you are.

He’s an idiot. Anybody who thinks WV and KY belong in the “Peoples Republic of Soyland” has his head up his ass.

Hmmmm...just a thought...an EMP would probably bring back “real America” but with a lot of pain...

This plan rewards the Left for its sedition.

It was Jesus:
Matthew 12:25 “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.”

I was actually listening to Matthew on my way to work this morning and remember that.

The writing is on the wall for the US. It’s about “when”, not “if”. And it is getting exponentially worse.

They would let you come and visit to ski, but they would cut off one leg first just to make sure you couldn’t ski better than anyone else—wouldn’t want to upset the obese human snow-flakes with athlete privilege. :-(

Total nonsense

Idaho, Montana, both Dakotas Kentucky West VA Indiana and OH go with the Feds. Given a choice a good chance WI and MI would also. NE US can join Eastern Canada and Canada can give up Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan to the Feds. Alaska goes with the Feds, Hawaii will go with the Marxists on the Left coast.

“I also think ten years is too long. Brexit is imperiled by the length of time baked into its execution (in my opinion)”

Exactly...don’t give them a chance to regroup. Brexit should have happened a month after the vote.

Both. Lincoln lifted it from 12:22 Matthew. He was a voluminous quoter of scripture for an infidel. But his close friends publicly defended him against accusations that he had been a believer despite modern illusions.

Metro NYC depends on providing media/financial service to the rest of the USA. What the Leftist don’t seem to realize is they are parasites living off the productive parts of the USA. They don’t actually produce anything anymore, they only provide services

What a mess.

It is a mess, but we've got many, many people for whom the Constitution is an quaint, outdated document, not something to be adhered to in law.

It only gets worse as mass 3rd world immigration continues- legal as well as illegal.

California is the canary in the coal mine.

End it now or suffer the same fate.

Agree. Some cities could nearly be joined together and create their own countries. NYC/Pilly Harrisburg/Hagerstown Chicago/Detroit And anywhere else with cold winter's.😁

I’ve got my own map, and I suspect the final draft would look similar.

His map leaves out North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Idaho. Four of the most conservative states in the nation. Let's redraw it to add them to his "Federalist States of America" and leave his Arizona and New Mexico in his "People's Republic". Those four are more conservative than Arizona is by any measure you care to mention.

It's not my wife - I wouldn't marry a liberal commie Bolshevik. Another thought is that maybe their brake line ought to be cut before they cut mine. And it's obvious that they would love to do so.

I never knew that was Jesus

I thought it was Lincoln

Same thing to some freepers..lol

Mark 3:25 "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand."

A Yankee instructing a Southerner on the Bible? My, my.

I exchange for several northern states, the Left can have Baja, Sonora, and Chihuahua...right up to the border with our magnificent new wall.
