Hey look - the freepers want the blue states out!
Looks like we're all in agreement then! They can have their freakshow red state crap country and we'll start our own blue nation.

Here's just a sampling of this red thread...enjoy!

If it takes a majority of states to accept a state into the Union, couldn't a state or states be voted out by a like majority? Just a thought.

For reasons that I'll never understand Lincoln decided that issue.

In the mean time let those Blue states keep paying the high taxes they voted for and the Red state will keep on keeping more than their share!

1. oh wait - here's my favorite post
No, we don't want to get rid of the real estate (actually I live in a "Blue County").
Also, I don't like all this "Red" and "Blue" business just because somebody made a map. Whoever did it probably colored the Leftist states blue because to make them red would have been too obvious and too inflammatory, since Leftists are closeted Marxists to begin with.

The Leftists should be referred to as "Red".

The best thing to do is just let them wither away. They're self-destructive anyway. It's just a matter of time.

If they keep up all this hate-filled propaganda, the American people are going to vote them all out of office sooner than they think, and they show no evidence of understanding this or of learning from experience (if they could, they wouldn't be Leftists in the first place).

All we need to do is keep them from harming the rest of us and let them self-destruct.

The American Heartland--Bush Country--is healthy, energetic, alive, hearty, visionary, imaginative, and ascendant.

Leftists are a decadent, self-destructive, imploding, dying breed.

All their hectoring and braggadocio about being productive is just more of their delusion.

They're a bunch of parasites, and if it were not for Heartland Americans, these Leftists would be living under a Third World Marxist dictatorship (which is exactly what they have in mind for the rest of us if they were "productive" enough to implement their agenda).

It's just not worth the tens of seconds it would take to get the gist of any given thread. My life is too short for that kind of shit.

and you have a REAL answer. If we did break off from America, most of the farming and food industry would be with us.

33. It always kills me when I read this stuff.
'Kills' as in laughing my head off. How can they not see that they are describing themselves to a T every time they sprout this crap?

As evidence I give you: "They're a bunch of parasites, and if it were not for Heartland Americans, these Leftists would be living under a Third World Marxist dictatorship (which is exactly what they have in mind for the rest of us if they were "productive" enough to implement their agenda)."

Freepers, let me introduce you to GWB, the 'Third World Marxist dictator.' Unbelievable!

10. Let 'em kick us out.
The blue states have most of the major population, commercial and financial centers (New York, D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Philadelphia and Seattle, for example), Silicon Valley, the entertainment industry, coal and iron mines, a strong tourism industry, major seaports and airline hubs (SEA, MSP, ORD, DTW, JFK, PHL), the Mayo Clinic, Harvard, MIT, Yale and Princeton. We've got Microsoft, Ford, General Motors and Wall Street. Most of all, we aren't completely overrun with Jesus freaks, assorted knuckledraggers, KKK members, huckstering televangelists, rubes, yokels, yahoos, white supremacists and inbred banjo players. We'll go, and we'll take our goodies with us. If Cletus and Billy Bob want to buy a new Ford pickup, there will be a hefty export duty. Screw 'em.

No I have to go and reformat my hard drive after reading that hate mongering drivel from that site!

They don't have to "kick us out", I'll gladly take Canada any day over the fascist states of Amerikka that we have today. Plus, if they tick us off too much we can just impose sanctions on 'em so they couldn't get any stuff from our manufacturing and financial states, heh.

13. So weird! What kind of reality is this. They must think it's the civil war
era. I had to research the term "Hillabeast". I found out it's the Freeper term for Hillary Clinton. We are too nice to them.

They all sound like 10 yr.olds.Education system must be in sad shape if these are adults. Maybe we could send a traveling remedial world culture course to accompany the revival tents. I'm getting them back.Was that mean enough?

20. Legal Secession
There's a catch 22.

Neither the Freeps or the Progressives here recognize there is a clear way to leave as set forth in the Constitution.

Article V

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.

Our goal should be a Second Constitutional Convention, at which time those amendments required to create a number of autonomous regions, and provide limits upon the Federal government.

I believe that our Founding Fathers never imagined that the Constitution that they created would ever be used to rule a nation of 300,000,000 people. And I doubt they would have thought it was a very wise idea.

23. Sounds good to me. How do we get started?
LET'S DO IT. LET'S SECEED NOW! Folks, even if it never happens, it would at least distract the Repugs from repealing our civil rights, starting wars and rewriting the constitution. This is a brilliant idea. Start the petition drive, let's march into Canada in the spring and beg them to annex us. Let's make the repugs the laughing stock of the world.

38. Good idea; maybe reds and blues could finally come together
on something. Don't know whether it could ever get the necessary levels of support though. I'm all for separation, and this could be a good way to get the issues out in the public.

40. No it's not; it could be the beginning of a positive, amicable
solution. People really need to think ouside of the box. Where would we be if the founders of this nation had been unwilling to make revolutionary changes? There is absolutely nothing un-american about proposing the formation of "a more perfect union."

Red states are not self-supportive; they take more in federal subsidies and programs than in taxes that they pay out.

25. They want a higher minority population then?
The racist idiots dont realize that it would shatter their dreams of a white only America "they way it should be" , because the reason many Red states are red is due in large part to the race wedge otherwise known as the "southern strategy" (and I mean the GOP Southern Strategy not the pathetic "Southern Strategy" the Clark supporters have cooking up and keep propagating as the only way we can win).

Plus many red states like Texas and New Mexico have more minoritys than whites , and yes Texas would be like 20% of the Red Nation population.

The tiny white states the racist idiots won only help electoraly due to the +2 electoral votes added to each and every one.

They must want to live in a nation that is 40% (and growing) minority then.
