Okay, Freepers, let's assume for just a moment that you DO secede...

[arbusto_baboso]

Then what?

Since you believe in small, or no, government and hate taxes, and since most of you are rather agey and not in the best of shape, how long do you suppose your new "nation" would actually last?

Then, too, since you possess all the intellectual depth of a pie tin, on what philosophical underpinnings would you even begin to base your libertarian-paradise?

Pah. Sit down and shut the hell up, Freepers. You're irrelevant, ineffectual and uninformed.

[Renew Deal]

1. Somalia is their model nation

I'm sure it will work out well. ;)

[el_bryanto]

9. Acutally i would think a latin american oligarchy

Rule by a landed elite - the mechanisms of state serve the elite and ignore the rest.

[Happyhippychick]

2. The can secede to Alaska and worship the Moosiah. And that would be fine with me.

[11 Bravo]

12. Moosiah!!! I really hope you don't mind if I steal that!

[Happyhippychick]

22. I'm happy to share all of my insults of the Wild Alaskan Dingbat (stolen from Grayson).

It is yours for the taking!

[grace0418]

16. Oh please no! Alaska is BEAUTIFUL. It shouldn't be wasted on the Freepers.

They'd kill off all the whales, polar bears, wolves, moose and anything else they can find.

[arbusto_baboso]

23. Hey, I got family in Alaska!

And they are NOT Freeps!

[YOY]

29. Do you realize what they would do to the remaining pristine wilderness there???

Send em all to West Texas and give their homes to Texan folks who don't want to secede with them.

[catnhatnh]

49. Yeah-they-d freeze to death!

Wild mavericky, individualistic,central government hating Alaska gets something like $1.74 back from the federal government for every dollar sent to DC...highest of any state, even those who DON'T accuse Washington of abusing them! Kinda hard to despoil jack-shit with frostbite of the fingers and lacking the brains God gave geese.

[treestar]

36. The Moosiah!

:rofl:

I don't know why they haven't all moved there already! They could keep an eye on Russia and those damnable soshalust Canucks! :rofl:

[LynneSin]

3. Sometimes I think we should just give them Utah or South Caroline and be done with it

Now I realize that there are liberals in these states and perhaps they could do a house/job swap. But honestly, it would make life so much easier on the rest of us that use our brains.

[mzteris]

6. Not SOUTH CAROLINA!!!!

They have good BEACHES!

Let 'em have someplace crappy no one wants to live.

[kestrel91316]

10. Give them North Dakota. Lots of open space for holding target practice with their

Gods the guns. And relocating the few liberals already there should be cheap.

[LynneSin]

15. But think of all the animals that will be needlessly slaughtered

:cry:

[FSogol]

21. Think of all the animals that will be needlessly molested

:cry:

[SoFlaJet]

13. put 'em on a reservation

like they did with the American Indians

[texastoast]

34. +1000 n/t

[EFerrari]

7. I think it could work. People do housing swaps for vacations.

All we have to do is set up a swap bureau for jobs and housing.

[brewens]

14. I was thinking Texas. Then we could sit back and watch Mexico

invade. We'd get rid of the Dallas Cowboys that way too. Imagine soccer games in that new stadium they built!

[Ishoutandscream2]

25. You would still need something to hate

And a soccer match has already been played there. Take your hate somewhere else.

[brewens]

30. It was more of a joking hate. I really wouldn't want Mexico to

take you guys over. Even to get rid of the Cowboys. Americas team may ass! That would be assuming that Mexico would even want your state in the first place.

[Ishoutandscream2]

46. Well, let me give you a good ol fashioned "Fuck you"

Maybe we'll have a natural catastrophe here, or a Cowboy charter will crash. Then you could really get your jollies!!

[DonCoquixote]

52. Hey

As much as Texas can frustrate me, any state that can produce Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower, Ann Richards and Kris Kristofferson has enough liberals worth saving.

[LynneSin]

26. yeah but that's not fair to Austin and the surrounding area - that's pretty blue

Hell Houston elected their first gay mayor. How about like a big plot of land that is hardly developed - let them have it like a reservation.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

45. Give 'em a pile of desert in West Texas.

I'm a native Texan and there is a whole lot of nothing (beautiful desert nothing) between Kerrville and El Paso. LOTS.

[SoFlaJet]

39. LMAO

Jerry Jones would need another facelift. I could see it now...JJ and GWB sitting up in that luxury box yelling GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

[Ishoutandscream2]

47. Shit, you're from Idaho

And you want Texas to go. LOL!! A white supremacists fantasy land!!

[brewens]

51. Ya got me there. It is kind of amusing to think that maybe

all the liberals flee Texas when they are going to secede. Teabaggers flock to the state to live in their new country. Mexico invades and we strengthen the borders and don't allow teabagger refugees in. All the teabaggers end up living under Mexican rule. This might make a really good movie actually.
You are right that a lot of people wouldn't miss Idaho much. The Mexican invasion wouldn't work here though.

[tammywammy]

56. Soccer was played in the new stadium before even the Cowboys played there n/t

[EFerrari]

4. They should all go on vacation to Haiti to see how well small gov works.

Hell, I'll see them off.

[democrat_patriot]

5. You forgot incurious, imbecilic and hypocritical.

Just FYI.

[arbusto_baboso]

24. Didn't forget. Just self-edited for the sake of brevity.

[Gman2]

8. Theyll have something we value very much. Cheap labor. The young ones anyway.

They wont like how we impose austerity measures on debtors, that arent us. Nor will they enjoy our teling them which leaders we will allow to run. They wont like our dumping of cheap farm goods on them. They wont like our making them the new Cuba. I hope these stupid fucks keep guns out of this.

[arbusto_baboso]

19. What young ones?

Those few kids we see at the rallies will only grow up to be ashamed of their parents and grandparents.

[quinnox]

11. LOL

:rofl:

good stuff! I hope they see this thread!

[SCantiGOP]

17. it would be tough for them to leave

since they all know that Jesus wrote the Constitution.

20. People that want to secede have no earthly clue what that entails, and how much more they would have

to pay for things, and do things differently, that the government now does for them.

[Union Yes]

27. Methinks Freepers will quickly get tired of 50 cents an hour wages and 12-16 hour workdays..

7 days a week.

I wonder if they are pushed to the brink years later in their wonderful republic, would they form unions?

Nah, they'll just cling to their guns. Idiots.

They would be slaves to their masters in their new republic.

[Naturalist111]

60. Nope

not when you live off of six packs and chewing tobacco

[Initech]

28. Not to mention, as evidenced by their protest signs, not a single one of them can spell.

So what would they know about running an entire government?

[jwirr]

31. How about Christmas Island? Isn't that still empty?

[arbusto_baboso]

32. Ouch. Funny, but ouch.

[lpbk2713]

33. I don't care to go to that crude and ridiculous website ...

... but my curiosity is getting the best of me.


How many of those mouth breathing idiots spelled it "succeed" ?


:rofl:

[arbusto_baboso]

44. All of them, I'm sure.

[treestar]

35. I'm sure they believe

That due to their excellent (white) genes, they will have the military power and financial power in their hands in no time, having left the rest of us with sort of brown skin and those inferior genes, they believe, we will be poor and weak in no time. :rofl:

Too bad we can't find a way to test that, as I'm sure it would turn out differently than they expect.

I've heard them claim that if all wealth was redistributed so that all had equal amounts, that it would only be a short time before the rich got their money back again.

[arbusto_baboso]

41. Re: "superior white genes" and military power...

Half the guys I served with in Special Forces were hispanic. And every damn one of them was scary-good at his job.

Suck on THAT Freepers...

[Berry Cool]

37. The Freepers are like little kids who decide to run away from home.

They take a little suitcase and they pack everything they think they will need...a few clothes, their favorite toys, whatever money's in the piggy bank or can be stolen from Mom's purse or Dad's wallet unnoticed, a box of crackers and a jar of peanut butter...and off they go!

Only then does it occur to them that they have no idea where the hell they're going, they have to go to the bathroom, it's getting dark and they have no place to sleep, and sooner or later the peanut butter and crackers, and the money, will run out.

[Subdivisions]

38. LOL! You nailed them right on the head! n/t

[ChicagoSuz219]

40. One of the DUers called their nation...

...The Republic of Dumbfuckistan! LOL

Wish I could remember who it was so I could give them credit.

[Kingofalldems]

42. Their moms should go down to the basement and swat them with brooms

[arbusto_baboso]

43. Can you imagine the cloud of Cheeto-dust that would stir up? eom

[Blue-Jay]

48. FACT: They're not going to do shit.

Sure, they'll bitch & moan online constantly, but not a single one of those fuckers has half-a-sack enough to actually DO anything aside from talking tough.

[polly7]

50. I'm bored. But ........ can our own freeper types join them wherever?

[DonCoquixote]

53. Here's the juicy part

What would the Chinese do? Or the EU? Sadly, I can see both of those nations trying to stir the pot just for the sake of stirring it, like back in the CIVIL WAR when sadly, both England and FRance supported the CSA. Then again, France was trying to take over Mexico.

[rufus dog]

54. Uh buh bye

Where do I donate to the cause?

[Rabrrrrrr]

55. They know the states they're in receive more federal money than they give, so they won't leave.

They ain't gonna give up the state-level welfare.

Still, I'd love to see nothing more than the southern states leave again so I can watch them flounder, die of starvation and infighting, and then, once every one of those Bible-thumping (but never Bible-reading) fuckstains is dead, we reclaim their land and put it to productive use for a change.

[Robyn66]

57. How about we give them

North Dakota and Utah

[Forkboy]

58. That's asking them to think way too far into the future.

:)

:thumbsup:

[pipi_k]

59. Where's that desert island Gilligan and his friends were on?

I say we let them have that.

With limited space and resources, they'll eventually figure out there's really some sense behind population control.

Or not.

Oh well...

61. Hey! Don't talk them out of it.
