God DAMN the North just needs to secede-

[Guaranteed]

or force the South to (how, I have no idea).

But I've had enough of this bullshit culture war. It's time for us to take all of our money, good looks, hygiene, courtesy, and intelligence and leave the idiots behind. Racism, homophobia and corporatism are taking over the country (as we all know).

No offense meant to our good Southern Democrats- I honestly have no idea how you guys live surrounded by fascists.

But it's time for us to break off. I won't be a part of fascism.

1. Just what I was saying yesterday...

and I live in the south.

2. Hear Hear!!

I second that! I'm sick of having to reduce ourselves and our government to the lowest common denominator. Instead of constant struggles about ridiculous things like whether or not gays should marry or Janet Jackson's boob should be on TV, we should be concentrating on the important issues of the day: Switching to alternative fuels and learning to live sustainably, wiping out poverty around the world, creating world peace through economic justice, etc. etc.......

3. They'll still have nukes.

Didn't I tell you this before?

4. I'm sorry, I didn't.

That was someone else. I'm sorry.

6. Pop!

5. Secede, OK but the gold stays in Fort Knox. n/t

7. I can't say I blame you - but a good start to check the problems you

are talking about is do what the culture war types did down here get behind one party. The Republicans told Democrats to either move to our party or be defeated. It worked. In other words stop voting for Blue State "moderate" Republicans and people like Frist, Delay and Lott will have less power. Secession is just a pipe dream ask us down here we know that. :)

8. May be easier than you think.

The southern freeps despise us - especially because most of us dont hate gays.
They will let us go in a New York minute.
All it takes is a referendum and a special election. States could become indepedent or form a coalition. Imagine: Minnesota to Maryland to Maine - a new country with real American freedoms. Jesusland will have no more need for elections. Just let Jerry Fallwell and James Dobson run the country. Laws can be made by church councils. Bush can be President forever!!!

9. Anyways, you play their game for them with junk like this.

They write entire books about how we have no respect for them - you just give them more material. They walk out the doors of the Democratic Party, but you're the one that puts the fence up so they can't get back in (and then probably complains why you haven't seen them in so long). Sorry, not everyone responds favorably to verbal abuse, especially when they're on top for the time. Anyways, it pleases the Republicans to have such a wall, especially when they didn't have to go through the trouble to put it there.

Let's see, your publicly-expressed sentiments do X amount of damage, and work toward a cause that has about 0.5% chance of ever seeing fruition. Dare I say it's simply self-gratification?

Learn to get what you want.

11. Geez, can't we fantasize for a few moments

on a liberal message board?
Besides, I don't think anyone is blaming the whole south, just the icons that rule it.

[LoZoccolo]

13. No, you can't.

Anyone can read this message board.

I call it "Pee-Wee's Rule".

[TreasonousBastard]

17. So, let 'em read...

and don't think for a minute that a few musings on a message board is going to mean anything to them.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Yuo are aware taht freepers want to expell the blue states

from the Union because we are not true Americans.... or did yuo miss the several threads on that post by a freeper somehwere else?

We all went, sure, he wants to expell us, sure... it woudl be ironic if we no longer had to suport the welfare states and saw a drop in taxes
