The South tried to secede and the North wouldn't let it. Why should you get to secede NOW that you realize WE should have been allowed to go our own separate way; that this continent would have been better-served split in two????

Oh, and it's Illinois, NY and California (the high-population states) that consume the welfare $$$$, get a clue. And when referring to welfare in the South, make sure you get your facts straight: Blacks have a higher percentage in the South. So basically you pi.ss on Blacks in your broad-brush analysis, by being angry that they are getting some.

WE can call it Jesus land. Where the Flinstones would be considered a documentary. Science books will be banned, and interracial marriages illegal.

Glenn Beck will be their President and "Sweet Home Alabama" will be the national anthem.

The Blue states don't have any money to funnel. Unless it's to unions or illegals.

What you drink is not water, it's Kool-Aid.

That hat you wear, it's not cotton, it's tinfoil.

Umm, it's a country not a continent. Just thought you'd like to know.

Trust me.

Just one more liberal who has it's head firmly implanted up it's full 'o crap behind.

The folks with jobs, non-government jobs, who in live in the North, don't back these floozies who want free rides for everyone and anyone (mostly themselves).

The North is overrun with folks who'd rather live in a 100 sq/ft apartment in NYC (Boston, Philly, Hollyweird, etc. ) and call themselves "worldly" b/c some dude from Turkey delivers their mail than deal with reality.

Common sense escapes the North (and I live in the North). They're happier proving how "smart" they are compared to the South, than fixing anything.

No one is forcing you to live with the "elitists" in some big fancy shmancy city in the north. I'm sure you can find a lovely shack in Alabama and some fellow southerners who share your hatred for northerners.

If the North actually cut out military spending, agricultural subsidies (including the gasohol program), NASA science and cheap electricity for air conditioning, the South, and Texas, would have to go back to growing cotton or hemp just to survive.

Now that would be an interesting experiment. Now to get some skinflint Yankee elected President along with a rational Congress.

Or just some seed. It's indigenous in my state but I hear the Canadian stuff is so much nicer.
