Yes I have a comment.
Before we consider anything along these lines, first BRING BACK JOBS TO AMERICA.
First. Before you even talk about all this other stuff.
I'm as serious as a heart attack.Let,NY,CA,MA,NJ,IL,etc issue all the EBT cards they wish.Let them annex all of Mexico as their newest state.Let them enact mandatory abortions for all white males and name the Religion of Pieces as the only "religion" to be tolerated.The South,parts of the Midwest and the Rocky Mountain area as well as Alaska will form a more perfect union.As much as I dislike heat and humidity I'll gladly go to NC or GA.
No guns. LOL
Do they think Chicago, Baltimore and a few other cities are going to secede?
It’s pretty obvious that this country is going to collapse, as all once-great nations in history have done. There are plenty of signs that the end will not be long in coming—in fact, lately it looks a whole lot like ancient Rome come back to haunt us—so why not plan ahead?
Make some room for me.
I’m considering secedeing all on my own. LOL!
Let the Statists stick with themselves, cause it isn’t about the South it is about the State vs. the Citizens, and the State’s corporatist pals in the other world inside the Beltway.
The South is right, again. Obamacare is dead there. Resist we much. Don’t tread on us.
Where do I sign?
Works for me.
The writer will find that the policies he champions will make “his country” poor as the proverbial church mouse. Sure, have public works but how are you going to pay for them? Oh, I know. Print money.
Stupid beyond belief.
It would be a Leftist Utopia. Just like North Korea.
At least we’d have the brains to seal our borders so all those refugees from blue states can’t come!
Give New Jersey to the crows.
For maybe about a year... which is about how long it would take every industry that builds things, fixes things or grows things to move south. All that would be left north of the Mason Dixon line would be tax cheats, welfare bums, poverty pimps, drug addicts and perverts of various genera. All of whom would starve because there would be no real money coming into the tax coffers and whatever the North uses for currency wouldn't be worth it's weight in raw organic fertilizer.
Sounds like a great idea. Let's do it!
The media only started perpetually calling them “Red States” in the past 4 election cycles. Before then, the colors were designated blue for Republicans and red for Democrat-National-Socialists.
I won’t let the commie rat bastards pull the wool over my eyes.
The same Baby Boomer “68 Revolution” red diaper doper babies are pushing the same agenda. Some refer to them as “New Democrats”. I prefer Red Dupes. Let THEIR states be known as Red States.
Some of us are still true blue Americans.
God, I wish! I cut loose from those idiot liberals in the north in a minute and then restore all our freedoms.
Umm huh.
No guns.
Keep going
Strong unions.
Let's hear the rest.
A humane minimum wage. A humane immigration policy. High revenues from a fair tax structure. A massive public-works program. Legal gay marriage.
You understand that you would not have high revenue. Your tax structure would cause revenue to fall, right? Ok you don't. Carry on then.
A ban on carbon emissions.
You want people to stop breathing?
Electric cars. Stronger workplace protections. Extended family leave from work in case of pregnancy or illness. Longer unemployment benefits. In short, a society on a par with most of the rest of the industrialized world—a place whose politics have finally caught up with its social and economic realities.
In short a place where even you would not want to live.
Why would I hire any of your workers? They would be lazy, uneducated, expensive and just plain not worth it.
And why would I even have a business any way?
You would want to take everything I earned to support your wish list.
So businesses would close up and leave.
You would need those longer unemployment benefits.
But where would you get the money to pay them?
You could try to take them from your neighbor.
But you have no guns.
I posted before I read the entire article. I thought at first it was satire, then halfway through it made a litle sense. Then it went totally in the trash. Great hospitals, teaching colleges, museums bla bla bla.. all in blue states. What BS.The south descending into theocracy? I think not. Has this person ever been out of their little blue world to experience what actually exists in flyover country? It’s a wonder we can even continue to exist without smartasses like this to show us the way/s
How does this "genius" interpret a government monopoly on legal weapons ownership as "no guns?"
One inconvenient factor overlooked by the author is the industrial might of the South. In 1860, the North was heavily into manufacturing while the South was agrarian. Today, the South is more industrialized than the North, has oil and coal plus the facilities to process them. It has many more chemical plants than the North.
So go ahead Yankees,secede.
