Which is why it's in everyone's best interest that they not secede. They'll have as much access to nuclear weapons as the blue states.

This progressive site has postulated that it may be time for a break up

http://www.irregulartimes.com/secedenow.html
It's an interesting argument. I really do see two nations when I look at the national red/blue map. Perhaps an amicable break up before any shooting starts is a good idea. I'm not talking about any kind of grade school B.S. about blocking international waterways or building walls, etc. (we don't tolerate the rethugs talking that BS about Mexico so we shouldn't do that in this case either)

Anyway, I think it's an idea that would be worth discussing rationally as adults.

It is just that simple. Look at the signatures on the petitions for the different states. They're from all over. Oregon, NJ, and NY have petitions, too. So does Pennsylvania.

This is just a bunch of fools with nothing else to do. Then, again, the DUers that thought it was funny to go and sign some of those petitions aren't being helpful, either.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass. Go and start an Anarchy of your own. Rugged individualism and God is all taxed enough already red necks need to colonize a piece of dessert in new Mexico or Texas. They could border patrol all day and all night.

Well, maybe the tea baggers should self-deport. I wish they would get their own country, just so they'll eventually see for themselves how flawed their far-right ideology is.

1) This is in Austin (which is the Liberal enclave in Texas.)
2) The placards are too white.
2) It is the same number of letters as "IMPEACH"
3) The demographics are wrong.

Hey, but if it is on the internet, it must be true.
Boy those teabaggers sure are gullible, right?
