One qualifier....first all the CA and WA liberals need to move to the the future state of LaLaistan. That would really clean up the rest of the country.

One question...what about those poor people in New Hampshire? You know, the whole "live free or die" thing....doesn't seem like a good fit with the rest of the states in this proposal.

I have a family member that moved to your state not long ago. I was shocked to find out that once you are outside of the urban areas, NJ is quite moderate and has a lot of similarites to the south.

Texas will use NH as a base of operations as we invade and thin the heard in the areas around it.

America isn't breaking up anytime soon, but I like how many of you have fantasies about a second civil war.

This whole North South talk is incredibly stupid, considering every single time it's, once you get outside of city X then in seems a lot more like the South...

Well obviously, the South is very rural, so anyone from a city or suburb, especially in the NE tends to think country equals redneck/southern. Any rural area has jacked up pickups and Confederate Battle Flags and the like.

Its where you start to see the 1st national flown where it gets much more Southern, generally.

North Beach, you must really have a desire to be Southern, but Maryland culture at least as its looked at nationally is much more affiliated with the NE than South. Lacrosse is arguably its biggest sport, yet when I went to SC, a true Southern state, people saw lacrosse as a bizarre yankee sport. In AL, GA, the same thing. I'd consider Southern OH, Indiana, and Missouri more "Southern" than Maryland, though I'd consider all of those states resolutely Midwestern. Historically you have some creedence, but in terms of modern context I'd say not even close. Have you ever spent a lot of time in a Southern state?

As far as the OP, I'd rather just all the liberals move to Canada. Parts of NY, CT, Maine are beautiful and steeped in revolutionary history

I don't see this happening at all. Instead, I see the rest of the country gradually becoming more and more like the Northeast, since the Northeast is ahead of its time compared to the rest of the country. It sets the standard for the rest of the U.S., which is backwards compared to the Northeast. The Northeast has the best education by far, wealth, diversity, economy and job market, food, transportation and same sex marriage in most states. And much better separation of church and state, as it is the least religious area of the nation.

I just wish they would work on getting the lead out of the drinking water up there because it's clearly causing some people who live there to become completely ignorant fools who might actually believe what you just spewed.
