Is there any way we can expel the Democratic People’s Republic of Massachusetts from the United States?

What about New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, California..... all liberal states. Sounds like a dangerous strategy.

Dead men tell no tales, but a live one, scared fecesless, will talk his head off. Ejecting Massachusetts from the US might just be that "upside the haid" slap that the rest of the liberal Northeast might need.

Mass is too small to be a country, and too large to be an insane asylum. Without Federal monies to prop up it's social programs, and all the actual taxable money from earned income headed for Vermont, the only source of income left would be Venezuela. While I would miss Kennedy and Kerry in the Senate, I think I could cope...

Add Michigan, too.
Still sounds like a good idea to me.

Or at least let the South secede peacefully...

Pennsylvania isn’t that liberal. Outside of Philly and Pitt you have Republicans and socially conservative Dems. Of course, you can drive 70 miles across central PA and see more dairy cows than people.
