Quote of the day
"Secession from the degenerate, socialist blue states is looking to be a more viable, more realistic option than ever. Amputating the cancer is likely the only route left for survival. That’s my view from Texas." From the comments page at FreeRepublic, which banned me back in 2006 for my pro-Southern views. My, but times are a-changin'!

I was banned for the same reason. Looks like we weren't so dumb after all!
I do believe the neocons are realizing the unpopularity of their views and are now hitching a ride on a growing angry heartland conservative movement that has not gone away. The neocons diluted a genuine tea party movement. Now they'll move on to their next project, a real separatist movement.
I bet that commenter at freep still want to bomb Iran.

It's ever so amusing to read about these delusions of secession from inhabitants of what are essentially the parasitic states in the USA. That would be states that take in more (in most cases, far more) Federal money than they pay out. These states are almost all red and poor.
Secede from the producer states that drive the innovation, creativity, and wealth generation that makes the USA the economic power it is? From the altruistic (if, I'll admit, rather misguided) taxpayers who subsidize the low tax rates and wealth-destroying economic and social practices that we see in the red state belt? Whyever would anyone want to create for themselves and their kin a third-world theocracy?
Art,
it depends on the metrics used on which states are parasitic and which are not. Producing solid consumables versus producing art and literature, producing manufactured goods versus producing theoretical research papers, producing food versus producing lawsuits, producing energy versus consuming the energy. Which states will have the food, working vehicles and safe structures for shelter, while the other states will have empty gas tanks and cupboards but have an intelligent creative demographic? What does blue state produce? Ideas?
