	Secession: Has it become a reasonable idea? Enter the AD-FREE zone

Ever since the Bush re-election, I have heard more and more commentators from various regions talking about secession as a valid alternative. Will this idea ever catch on in mainstream parts of the Northeast or the West Coast?

While it's a possibility, I think something a little more controversial than Bush II's recrowning will be necessary.

And by "Cistrict" I of course mean "Cistern". Or possibly "District".

Not sure.

Give him a minute. I'm sure he'll think of something stupid to pull soon enough.

That would require you to have followers other than internet chained computer geeks and out of work acting students living on their parents dime.

But as the last schsim showed, only conservative elitists have the balls to attempt such a thing, and only Republicans have the gumption to quell it. Leaves you liberals out in the rain

Well then why don't you conservative elists and Republicans start shooting each other. We won't get in the way.

Secession is a bit much. Go for expanding states' rights and let the southerners burn in the fires of their own crosses.

Let federal government cut taxes and services as much as it wants. Laugh as poor red states realise they've been living off charity.

The US should really split. The Blue states could form two new wealthy and enlightened countries. The red states could join the third world.

And I still don't get your point.

The blue states give more to the federal government than do the red states. The fact that there are poor sections of the blue states means nothing. The rich parts more than make up for it.

Your comment was a red herring.

Canada would take in NE.

The West Coast could just be culturally assimilated.

Yeah, I am sure that is how it would work.

I would like to point out which states the majority of the military power is concentrated, as well as where the majority of the people manning that power come from, and then who they voted for in the election.

That sounds like a personal problem.

The majority of the Blue mega cities use far more federal money than they give, minus finacial transatctions which while monitored and run in a place do not originate there. Subtract the more conservative rural areas of your Blue states and no, the liberal sections (which I suppose is the point being a secession thread) are not as weathy as you think.

Now we're breaking up individual states? Pick an issue and stick with it, you silly silly man.
