Time for CA, WA and OR and other states to secede

[melody]

We have to Constitutionally secede. We might even want to consider seceding along with the east coast and rejoin with Canada.

[Stargleamer]

1. I wish so much that would happen!!

I'd love to be a Canadian!!!

[geek tragedy]

2. I started a similar thread.

Let the fundie nutbags have this shithole of a country. We'll take the constitution and run.

[ezee]

3. I could VOTE for that! n.t.

[NJCher]

4. I've been saying this for a long time

The U.S. should be broken up into five different countries.

5. I think the entire Northeast should secede

if Bush steals this.
This includes: ME, NH, MA, VT, CT, RI, NY, NH, PA, DE, MD....and DC ought to kick out the government and become EM (East Maryland).

[pbeal]

6. I am all for a new New England & Midwest province for Canada

Its looking like we share our values with Canada more than with the southern part of the country.

Of course we whould have to have the US move its capitial to Richmond or something and guard our boarders to keep rednecks from crossing the border to buy cheap drugs.

[melody]

7. We have the money, we have the people, we have the resources

All the good people from the south and "heartland" can come to our areas and to hell with the rest of these monsters.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

8. I would be SO up for that right now

except that we'd have to take just the eastern half of Minnesota, which is the prettier part, anyway.

My God, I can't believe that there are so many people in this country who are either brainwashed by the media and/or fundamentalist churches and/or blinded by greed.

[Dan]

9. I wonder,

Are there any legal ways such a thing might be possible?

[melody]

11. Jefferson specifically refused a provision against secession

Therefore, it's theoretically quite possible. The south has been wanting their "freedom" for years - lets give it to them in a divorce.

[Gemini Cat]

14. Fine. Let them go.

I never thought I'd say that, but I'm saying it now.

[Ladyhawk]

10. Can I send my family to the red states? :) nt

[Ladyhawk]

12. California, Oregon and Washington RULE!

We could get along just fine without the rest of the country. But I don't know what to do with the fundy counties. I live in one. I would suggest that California secure its foothills because the fundies will chop down the redwoods and basically muck up everything.

Of course, we have to get rid of Ah-nold, too.

[cboy4]

13. Uh, the eastern half of California can

go fuck itself, because with the exception
of San Francisco down the coast to Los Angeles,
the rest of the state is red :puke:

[Ladyhawk]

21. Wouldn't you rather kick out the freepers and save the Sierra Nevada?

[Hatalles]

27. Oh, psh. There's so many of us in the coastal areas, we can overrun them..

[fortyfeetunder]

15. Yes, eliminate the landlocked, tornado ridden Midwest.

And throw in Florida too. You would think after Mother Nature sent 3 effing monster hurricanes in two months, that would have been a sign to vote Kerry....

[UdoKier]

16. San Francisco Here! I'm all for it!

7 states passed initiatives BANNING gay marriage!

I can see not supporting it, but voting for a BAN on it?

Sick.

[Ladyhawk]

22. We have a serious problem. :( nt

[UdoKier]

26. OOPs! Apparently ELEVEN states voted against equal rights for gays.

My bad. Never underestimate America's deep well of homophobia.

[amandabeech]

17. Yes, take northern Ohio, Michigan, northernmost Indiana,

northern Illinois, southeastern Wisconsin and let us join Ontario.

Maybe we could convince all of Wisconsin so as to get a bridge to Minnesota.

Western PA might fit in well with that group, too. Eastern PA should go with the NE/MidAtlantic. Let the south have the center of PA in law as well as in practice.

[Kickin_Donkey]

18. Cool ...

We'll call it Pacifica.

[TriMetFan]

25. That sounds like a real good name for the West Coast.

[Union Thug]

19. I'll vote for that!

[Columbia]

20. There is no constitutional procedure for secession

[Chovexani]

23. Only if NY gets to be part of Ontario

This was fraud and there's no doubt but there's no denying half this country is certifiable and a good chunk of those love "Jesus" more than they love freedom. I put Jesus in quotes because there's no way Jesus would stand for the crap these inbred assclowns spew.

I live in a blue city in a blue state but what does that matter if a good chunk of the country is nuts and would burn me at the stake if they could? Canada's looking mighty fine about now.

[TriMetFan]

24. I'm with you.

When and how can we start the ball rolling? I think the people of Oregon would go for it. We just don't like outsiders telling us what to do. And yes 36 anti-gay bill passed but only with the help of outsiders. To hell with the south and to hell with all the rednecks.

[NervousRex]

28. With the GropenFuhrer as President?

CA has a lot to answer for that choice....If I lived in WA or OR I wouldn't play in that shitpile.

[TriMetFan]

29. Thats how you might feel. But all 3 states need each other out here.

We got the ocean on one side and the fucking right wing nuts on the other side.
