How would a "red state" be defined from a "blue state"? The OP used a drawing based on the 2004 Presidential Election, which is really just a snapshot in time.

Truth is that all states are actually purple-a combo of red and blue of varying shades.

I've always wanted to live in Canada.
I can marry my girlfriend and they have a national health care system.

I do think Jesusland is a bit too big.

I don't understand why people are against this idea. Why continue with the contempt and disgust for each other? Somewhere a solution must be found.

I'm for it if Jesusland is scaled down.

Will gays be shot if we visit Jesusland? I think this is a valid concern.
Are their hate crime protections in Jesusland?

According to Uncyclopedia.com... in Jesusland, there would be a prison colony for gay people, which would be located in where present day Kentucky is.

Most of the rural areas are red...and if the lines were being drawn in this fashion..the farmers and truckers may not like it too much. These "simple folk" could have a huge impact. It is not like back in the civil war era.

The cities would plunge into caos.

I think it's exactly the large size of Jesusland within the current United States that causes a whole lot of aggravation for everybody.

As shown in the picture, all the predominately Republican and Democrat states would separate and the Republican states would join together and be called be Jesusland, and the Democrat states would join with Canada to become United States of Canada.

I know this isn't real, but how would you feel about something like this if it actually happened?

There is no such thing as a "Blue State" or a "Red State", since no state is all of one or another.

so it is Jesusland -vs- HungryHungryHippietown?

You need plenty of room to grow crops and animals for food...right now Jesusland either grows, processes, or brings your food to the big blue zone.
