Liberal Democrats and Conservative Republicans in the boxing ring, right now, 15 rounds and physical force to the surrender....with hair-pulling, lightsaver swords, neck strangling, tae kwandoe, tacklings
Aw, I thought this was going to happen in the Capitol Building on the Senate and House floors. As long as they don't do that girly pushy stuff like Major League Baseball players...

Usually?

People have been saying the country is taking since the country was formed.

MIGHT MAKES RIGHT

Nothing new in that idea.

It has been the belief and policy of countless dictators and terrorists throughout human history because -

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent" - Issac Asimov

When I was younger I believed that our species would be able to outgrow this pervasive attitude but the older I get the less hopeful I am that it will survive long enough to ever do so.

No, but the government may soon be checking just to find out who is a crème filled and penalize you for it on your insurance.

To the surprise of secessionist, America won't be splitting up anytime soon... Conservatives tried that once and got spanked... That's one reason you usually hear secessionist talk from random whack jobs and not so much from elected Republicans... Conservatives actually voted into office usually know better... If another Jefferson Davis rears his ugly head he might end up getting his neck stretched over a lost cause...

I'm talking about well regulated, matched, ball and cap pistols.

Well you won't see my liberal a** volunteering to fight to keep the South. I'm offended to inhabit the same country as those animals.

Nothing useful ever came out of the American South except cotton, rock and roll and Ron White. Anyone who'd fight to keep it is crazier than the douche nozzles who live in it.

Hell, I think every state north of the Mason Dixon Line should secede from the South and leave them to their own half-witted devices. I was born in the South and once upon a time, I used to be proud of my Southern roots, but these days I'm ashamed of it. Let them go ahead and implement their bizarre ideas in their own region and leave the rest of us alone. I bet the South would crash and burn in about 3 years under such a scenario. Good ridance.
