I would think that the Bush Counties would secede from the Democrat states. The new confederation of liberal "Bantustans" would quickly starve.

All political figures from outside our new nation –including Bush and his administration – would be evicted from their offices

If they seceeded, why would Bush be in office in the new country. This guy is such a dolt.

As an Alabamian, I have one thing to say to this guy....Bye!

Unlike when my ancestors seceded, I applaud their sentiment and will honor their Constitutional Right to secede.

See you later!

Don't be a stranger.

Please write!

Thanks for dropping by.

Let's stay friends!

I wish it could have worked out.

No hard feelings!

I wish you all the best!

Drop me a line sometime.

I guess die'versity is good only when used for propaganda purposes.

I don't see a problem with secession whatsoever. My only issue is 'why split in 2?' I believe the optimal number of 'splinters' would be 50 not 2. Or, even better, let's get the Feds out of our states and out of our personal lives. The Federal Gov't powers are prescribed by the Constitution and let's begin by limiting the Feds to what the Constitution says, no more.

The first steps on this path would be a massive reduction in Federal taxes, perhaps 70% or so, making sure that the Feds stay occupied with defending the borders, making sure that nothing impedes interstate commerce, that kind of stuff. The Fed tax reduction will be, of course accompanied by the elimination of all Federal 'programs' that were 'given' to the people by our bleeding-hearts do-gooding libs. The Fed tax breaks will be most certainly offset by increases in State and local taxes - but this is were our voices can be heard better than in D.C.

So... yes, I agree. We should start the process. And... no thanks, no need for Canada at this time.

The plan is simple: Secede. That’s right. The northern and West Coast states can secede and still be able to form a near-contiguous country,

Oh, how I have prayed for this! If they don't secede, can we throw them out?

Hey Zeus, ain't it about time to fire up the lighting bolts?

Why? Are you afraid? This piece is pretty lame.

"Secede. That’s right. The northern and West Coast states can secede and still be able to form a near-contiguous country, and maybe even merge with Canada. Perhaps we can convince Floridians and Virginians to join us for strategic, ideological and financial reasons."
Does anyone have a copy of "Bush's America" so this wannabe leader can see that ONLY the liberal parts of the North and KALIFORNIA would secede?
I'm waiting for the rebellion that liberates the left Coast from Gov. Davis. Course, you'll have to fight the Illegals who will immediately want to secede and become a part of Mexico again.

Posting an article like this on FR is probably similar to throwing a couple pounds of red meat into shark-infested waters.....you got guts, DPL

But you're still naive, and wrong.

"Western Maryland dreams of seceding from Liberal Maryland,"

You could do it. There is nothing to stop you. West Virginia has already blazed that trail.
