Oh, my heart is just freeping bleeding to pieces for Massachusetts and the rest of the good-for-nothing postage stamp states of New England.

These parcels of pompousity wouldn't even make a decent county out West, yet they keep sending up a dozen self-congratulatory senators (and hardly more congressmen) who think nothing of the federal hording of 60% of the land west of the Mississippi.

Once we're done grabbing 60% of the land from Connecticut to Maine, I vote we export enough California colonistas to increase the population on the remaining land there by 10% to 20%.

This article has put a vicious, vengeful grin on this Californian's face. If New England doesn't like it, then they can go clean their own house, so that we'll finally be able to clean ours.

As for your idea of taking 60% of the land from CT through Maine and relocating a whole buch of Left Coast wackos to the ther Left Coast here in New England it s*cks. What we have here is the putification of these original cradels of Liberty into a miasmic cesspool of statists in control. The number of senators these small states have is a left over from the original ratification of our Constitution and the only part not subject to change by amendment. get used to it. Now if you would care to guarantee that all these new residents would be of the same character as say you or Travis McGee we would have a resotation of our rights up here.

The fact is the Liberals from CT, MA, RI, and VT are a scourage on this land. Yes, they control the politics here that does not mean everyone from New England wants to see the war on the West continue or to have been waged at all.

I suggest you calm down. i in some ways enjoy seeing many of those who have quietly gone along in Liberal Land getting gored by this ox.

Stay well - stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

Thank you TJ and Friends!

The midwest is nothing to brag about. Our allegedly Repub gov has decided that he needs to increase state income tax now, but I suppose that wouldn't have anything to do with overspending, or that we got the federal tax rebate.

i'll say one thing:

one more home gets put up next to me and i lose my view of mt. rainier!
now that effing sucks!

If any species of insect is "endangered", it would be due to the fact they chose the wrong place to breed. Survival of the fittest, and the endangered species of something no one ever keeps as a pet is a smokescreen for something else, entirely. Guarantee if the folks are removed from the land for a bug, within a couple years there would be a major gov't. sponsored contract for building and development in the area.

Relax for a minute and think of what you are saying. You blame all of the people of New England for the sins of our Congress Critters and yet there are many good conservative people here. Don't forget we have to suffer under these idiots at the state and local level too. Don't forget that the Republicans in New Hampshire were as vital to winning the 2000 presidential as those in Florida.

Once we're done grabbing 60% of the land from Connecticut to Maine.

Did you read in the article where the states have essentially taken all of the land here? Native Vermonters vehemently oppose these regulations (Act 250 in VT) because they own and use the land as farmers, loggers, and sportsmen.
