Everytime I see the image of the US broken down by Red and Blue States I think about John Titor

:Q

Goddamnit, look at it on the county level.

It's amusing reading these real "patriots" talk of secession.

We can't have civil war or division YET. Why? There's not the idendity set up yet. First, we need to build the idendity of the blue states. More and more people are realizing blue states are different but it hasn't quite become part of the blue state consciousness. Once there is an identity, blue states will realize they are half the country and cannot be pushed around by a 100% red state government. At that point, the talk of taking more radical measures will be useful.

People need to realize that much of the US is actually unpopulated. Most people live in cities and a lot of the red you see is freaking land mass. How else would Kerry get 48% of the popular vote if America was really that red?

There have been talks for years about NYC seceeding and forming it's own state, due to a spending vs. taxing relationship at the city/state level similar to the blue states relationship at the state/federal level. You red states will probably get upstate New York thrown into the deal.

True, however do you see any really large, contiguous patches of blue? Militarily, it generally isnt good to be surrounded. So, unless you've got a large supply of frozen, cloned Chesty Pullers...

Talk of moving out of the country? Secession?

How could you possibly secede when in every Blue state, almost half of the voters voted for bush...

Is this Dr. Zoltan Grossman a nut?

Good point. Just angy losers crying in their lattes

And you depend on the rest of the US to ply your wares. It'll sure cut into the profits when Arizona cuts off the tap, and Nevada trips the circuit breaker and... well, I can't think of any other corny cliches, but you know what I mean.

Besides, don't they grow the food in the red counties? They may have an issue with secession.

I don't know where all the farmers in the red states will get their water from either.

 

[judasmachine]

The Great Melting Pot experiment has failed?!?!?!?!

News to me old friend.

 

[Insane3D]

Pffft...the midwest and south wouldn't be able to handle the cold...we would just have to wait until the winter.

Oh, and up here in NH, the "newest" blue state , we have some of the most lax gun laws in the country, and our motto is "Live Free or Die"...enter @ your own risk!

That goes for Massachusetts too...:|

Um - the Mississippi? The Colorado (from which CA currently gets a lot of water)?

The Mississippi starts in Minnesota. Is Arizona an agricultural state?

Absolutely hilarious. Liberals talking about secession. Remember the last group who wanted to secede? A bunch of slave owning rednecks. *edit out stupid comment *

It never fails, people become that which they hate the most.

 

[Tylanner]

Amazing this thread got far enough to start talking about how specific states will sustain themselves in the event they secede.

You people have lots of time

Lincoln was a Rep, dude.

LOL, yeah, you're right. My point stands. Secession was last attempted by those that the liberals currently hate. Everything always comes full circle.

You guys are funny.

What percentage of liberals do you really think would even consider leaving? 2%...5%, maybe if you are lucky and Jesus loves you more than usual.

Otherwise, put down the crackpipe and maybe we can talk about some REAL issues.

Those "rednecks" founded the first public university.

The republicans then are most definitely not the same as the current ones.
