In September 2006, Siegel was suspended from The New Republic, after an internal investigation determined he was participating in misleading comments in the magazine’s “Talkback” section, in response to criticisms of his blog postings at The New Republic’s website.

Make the ‘58 Chevy the official vehicle???? Does this guy know how many car manufacturers are in the South? Is he aware that his precious, yuppie mobile the BMW has a plant in Greer, SC? Or that Porsche is building their US headquarters in Hapeville, Ga? Is he aware that the Red States have most of the natural resources and farms that fuel and feed America?

I would love it if the South seceded. That’s what that Russian economist has predicted. It’d be nice to see how fast the Northeast and West Coast would fall apart.

No, but I did laugh. Does that count? :-)

More important, I’d like to see the red counties able to secede. I.e., the agricultural counties of CA, the farming counties of NY and PA. It is only the cities/urban areas of ‘blue states’ that are liberal and Dem. So let them survive on their own devices, their own productivity. See how long they last without the fruits of ‘flyover’ country’s labors.

I agree, we should leave.

This federation has been at war with each-other for 150 years and if Washington doesn’t even want to pretend to be a limited government than there is no way we can ever have peace short of separation.

It’s time to move out and make our own house, I’m sure we will be Great neighbors, were just not good roommates.

Sounds like a plan to me!
Let the North rot in socialist mediocrity by itself. - - why continue to drag down the South?

One major upside is that most of the South’s parasites and moochers - - AKA, the Democrat party “base” - - would be attracted to the “free stuff” up North. The North would therefore gain the Democrat voters they crave and the South would get rid of them. Win-win!

By contrast, the South leads in all the negative trends. The South has the highest infant mortality rate (because we don't abort them all). It has the most traffic deaths (we still drive cars). It leads the country in gun deaths (we still own guns). It has the greatest number of obese people (we still can afford food). It has the highest rate of diabetes (we can still afford too much food!). It has the largest number of people dying from stroke—a broad swath of the southeastern United States is known as the “stroke belt” (we like food that has actual flavor). The South has the highest rates of cognitive decline (according to their "adjusted" numbers).

From the next paragraph...

Risk of cognitive impairment was 18 percent higher in residents of the Stroke Belt than in those living in non-Belt states after adjusting for the influences of age, sex, race, and education level.

Education? Race?

Whoo boy, that is some thin ice Mr. Lee!

I thought we are all identical under the no-longer-noticed skin color, Mr. Lee.

And did you bother to offer the methodology for the study? No?

There is a good reason for that...

Research presented at medical meetings should be considered preliminary until it is published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Quoting un-reviewed material Mr. Lee? Tisk, tisk.

But this part is my absolute favorite from the entire shtick.

Interestingly, though the South is home to the major tobacco companies and to carcinogenic Coca-Cola, the highest incidence of many types of cancer happens to be in the North. Which just proves that the stress of living alongside the Confederacy is now seriously affecting our health.

So YOUR high cancer rates are OUR fault?

Those EEE-VILE Johnny Rebs...

Yeah... gotcha.

But putting that aside, by all means Mr. Lee, we would welcome you and others like you to put as much distance between yourselves and our home as you can possibly achieve.

You may begin packing anytime, Mr. Lee.

I’m with this guy, although I’d include Alaska and the Great Plains with his little goofy plan, along with much of the Great Basin and parts of the Southwest. Yes, let them go it alone. Good luck. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

The writer is an idiot (but then again he is liberal).....I am happily moving myself to the South because the liberal cess pool I live in has become intolerable

They could keep the name "America" and the newly-seceeded area could be named ... "Galt's Gulch". :)

Great idea!

Load of misdirectional nonsense.
 
"Secession" has already occurred. The "South" does not have to do anything - the cities, counties and even entire states that no longer observe nor govern under the Constitution & the Bill of Rights have left the Union in their own way. The breakup of the United States is already in motion - has been for some time, right in front of us.

I’ve been saying for ten years, this is our only hope. We’ve tried the ballot box and the jury box. It’s over.

So long as it involves a good strong border fence and a no-man’s land(mines) besides, I say let’s do it. Hell, let’s hand out a crisp new Benjamin to each carload of Yankies desperate to return to the northern paradise they created.

I couldn’t believe this crazy op-ed, thought at first it was satire. But it’s actually a great idear.

Far from being fanciful or fanatical, the proponents of secession have a stronger grasp of political reality than just about anyone else.

I agree with that.

The south will not secede...... The better course is to purge.

The Neo Europa existing from New York, north and east will be thrown out of the Union. The non Americans will be purged from America.

These people are simply not required and are actually harmful
