My hubby asked me if I had listened to the Glen Beck show (at work I can not get him Crying or Very sad )...but he told me the other day Glen had donations where they bought Robert Redford a one-way 1st class ticket to France for him but his publicist would not call them back....Just too funny!!! Very Happy

So, they secede.... they are not contiguous, so how will they form their own country... more like a bunch of city-states --- surrounded by US territory ----

So, the city-states are dependent on the US for commerce, energy, protection, etc. And they will no longer be represented in the US government

people are talking about secession, and they're not completely joking


They can have Philadelphia and Pittsburg but the rest of PA is staying put right where we are.

I still say PA didn't go Blue on November 2 the press just gave us away. We were a closer margin than Ohio who remained grey.

For every action there is an equal or greater reaction. And the Swift Vets and POW’s for Truth have a long way to go before we fully react to the actions of the Kerry led VVAW the continual perpetuation of the wrongful depiction of our Vietnam veterans by Hollywood produced trash. The torture of our POW’s and the public mistreatment of our Vietnam veterans that continues today as my own Navy son was given the middle finger while on liberty on the Chicago loop this past May.

And most of us out in the red states are armed with rifles and shot guns. We also control the food supply.

Argus Hamilton had some insight on this. He said, "Hollywood was demoralized by the Democratic defeat on Tuesday. There is just no bridging this cultural divide. Hollywood views Bush supporters as a bunch of shirtless, tobacco-chewing, beer-guzzling, Scotch-Irish brawlers, and their husbands. "

Oh HA HA HAH HA HA HA...those guys....HA HA wooHA HA.

Gawd, they are just SO funny.

Why don't they save their witty repartee for their next Alfie sized Hollywood blockbuster? They are wasting their brilliant bon mots, and I don't think they have them in adequate supply to waste. I mean, there are just so many Adam Sandler delivered urination jokes out there.

You know, every SINGLE one of us Scot-Irish brawlers, and our husbands, ought to completly stand down from attending or renting movies for the duration.

Let's see how brave they talk when they are having their Rolls repo'ed.

Okay, Mr. DeMille, I am ready for my close-up. Twisted Evil

Here is probably the saddest, most upsetting thread I have seen on the web. It brings pictures of Viet Nam vets returning all over again. I still remember being told not to wear my uniform off base.

NONE of these FREAKS will leave this country. If they had to work for a living they would starve to death. Most of them have forgotten their roots. They have lived a delusional life for so long, they believe their own press releases. If we [the RED] states stopped going to the movies, buying their records and DVD's they would be out of a job. Turn off the tv, stay out of the theaters and record stores and that will hurt them in the pocketbook.

We've all seen the red-blue state and county map. But the most informative map I've seen is this one:



From this map you can see they can't secede. But if the rumors are true that they'll all immigrate, I can sure see some cheap, under-valued real estate purchase opportunities.

When I'm visiting California some tell me that they want their own state.


So we can kick the liberals out? If you mean these aspiring Canadians up in Marin or along the coast, you might hear them talk one way and paste 100 stickers on their beat up cars. But you won't hear that kind of talk from most every other county, not in Fresno, not in San Diego (mostly), not in the valley, not up around Shasta. Lots of people raise livestock, grow produce, work hard in CA. And those are the Republican counties.

People have said - never mind LA, what the heck is up with Chicago there. They must have gotten the dead to vote - twice!

I agree let them go. But I insist that at the border they first give up their voter registration cards and second do sign a document affirming that they will not try to get an absentee ballot whereby these new Canidians can in any way interfet with the election process in America.

I don't think that the whole states would secede..... Just the blue counties which are for the most part the large cities ---

Chicago/Cook county is a good example.... The rest of Ill would gladly let them form their own city/state... But the downstaters would stay....

I'd also question the premiss from O'Donnel (I think) that the red states consume more federal $ and the blues contribute more... I'd actually like to see the federal tax income & spending broken out by red and blue counties.... DC was blue and we know it consumes alot of federal funds....

The good news for the whiners is they are free to go. Laughing

The bad news for the whiners is the countries that they want to go to don’t want them. They want hard working people with clean records and with skills that are in short supply, like the people in the red counties and states. Razz
