The real truth is that actual liberals are a minority, if we somehow picked two states for all of them to go to there wouldn’t be enough to have a viable society.
It’s time we stopped putting up with this bovine excrement and say enough!

The South is overall 25-30% black

which begs a tiny question given they adore the Left

Well, I live less than 20 miles from Austin city limits and we are a very conservative area. Nothing wrong with the suburbs, but the downtown areas are nothing but liberal havens.

Look up Austin Smart Growth and see the effects of liberalism. Bike lanes instead of more roads for commuters, highrise apartments, light rail, taking parking spaces to use as sidewalk cafes, etc.

“...and take Chicago with them.”

Not so fast. I want two or three good kielbasa makers from Chicago down south. My retrograde eastern European genes demand it.

Let’s face it—on nearly every important issue, from gun control to immigration to gay marriage, red states are holding America back from total stupidity

I love California but if the South... or even just Texas.. makes a break for it, I'm going to move.

I would secede right along with them! And yes, a hell of a lot of states in the middle would go with. I love how the jerk-off who wrote this fantasizes about his liberal utopia. haha. I guess those who fought for Kim Il Sung in Korea probably had similar visions.
Without red states, America would collapse. What do places like Chicago export? Corpses?

Interesting concept. A productive conservative United States of America sharing borders with an anti-military obamination of dependent citizens.

I wonder how long that would last?

The child doesn’t understand that he’s already describing Europe, and much of America already. Talk about clueless.

I’d like to seceede, but this guy is nutz! in his insulting of redstate America. However yes, let them have their liberal fantasy (without) us, and then they can fail without conservatives having to suffer the results. Meanwhile we can have a free-market, God loving, constitution, life, liberty respecting republic. Viva la liberty!

Yes! And we get to keep all our gas and oil and food stuffs and great football players and beautiful women in the South.

The North will look like Detroit and Newark, freezing in the cold and dark dens of Socialism.

In September 2006, Siegel was suspended from The New Republic, after an internal investigation determined he was participating in misleading comments in the magazine’s “Talkback” section, in response to criticisms of his blog postings at The New Republic’s website.

“It would be a Leftist Utopia. Just like North Korea.”

More like East Germany, this idiot’s model state. They might have to build a wall too. There won’t be any taxpayers.
