Naw, but there may come a time when we don't want to be in the same Union as some of those red states!
Whether anyone acts on such a premise is anyone's guess. Eric The(IfFirstYouDon'tSuceed,SecedeAgain)Hun

Sending our liberals to Canada in exchange for their conservatives seems like a better idea.

Nope...
Won't happen... 'A house divided, cannot stand' If anyone tries, well, we all know what happened LAST TIME... Fortunately, the USA is immune to any 'revolution', 'revolt', or similar... It is a good thing too, as what we have now is built on this stability... And what we have now must be preserved, unless you consider 1870 'ideal' living conditions (I for one, do not)... |

This is a great idea! We should give liberals the state of New Mexico, and let them be their own seperate country. They can have any gun laws they want, any sex laws and any tax laws, etc. Then we can laugh as the country is invaded and sacked by 5 people with evil looking BB guns. We will call it France 2.

I must admit that it seems the political divide is widening. I don't even want to discuss the other side's views--they piss me off. I'm right, they're wrong (of course that's what they're thinking too!). I don't want to "compromise" my views to be able to live in harmony with them.
"Can't we all get along?" In a political sense, no, we can't. And I'm not interested in doing so either! Hopelessly divided........ |

I have the PERFECT solution to this delema;
US and Canada join. Divide this huge country in two at the Mississippi, or therabouts. The division line swerves over to the east coast on about the Mason-Dixon line. Move all the liberals over to this new "blue zone". All the conservatives move west into "Free America". Liberals can do WHATEVERTHEHELLTHEYWANT with their country, with the the caveat that we aren't going to help them NO MATTER what. Free America operates according to the Constitution. This is the perfect plan. |

Which is neccicary for any functional political system... Our system is adversarial by nature, the idea is that since the 2 parties are so diametrically opposed to eachother, neither one will let the other get away with murder.... |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe something similar has already been tried. The South didn't declare war on the North AFAIK, they just wanted to be left the hell alone. |

The problem is the parties are not opposed to each other. Both want my tax money and both want to increase their power over my life. It is just a matter of specific areas and degrees. But regardless of who wins, no one is going to give my freedom back. |

+1! Dave, I really meant meant it when I said that you should read the Federalst Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers last week. I understand you call yourself a *neo-con*, but without truly understanding the political thought that this country was founded on, you're just parroting the Fabian Socialist lines. Respectfully, -FMD [ETA "respectfully". Not my intention to hijack or start flame-wars!] |

There's a huge political divide, but it's not by state, it's primarily Urban v. Rural. Even in Red states there are islands of Blue in the large metropolitan areas, and even in the Blue States, the rural areas are Red, Red, Red. The Left is highly concentrated in just a few states, and even then primarily in the cities.
No, there won't be a political secession. But I wouldn't be surprised to see riots. |

Liberals want to take away your guns and raise taxes on the rich.
Conservatives want to take away your right to privacy and raise the taxes on everyone but the rich. Of course if people were smart they'd realize there are more than two political parties. But I digress I'm giving Americans too much credit for their intelligence. |

People who live in rural areas must be more self-sufficient. They have a better grasp on reality. Police and emergency medical response is 20 minutes plus. Bad weather can mean being cut off from town for a day or a week. People in rural areas tend to know each other. Cities provide a level of anonymity that you cannot find in small towns. People are more connected and are less dependent on a faceless bureacracy. Are hostile to the faceless bureacracy, in fact, because that bureaucracy tends to be overbearing on the rural areas. In short, they trust themselves more, and government less. With cause. |
