What's more American than secession?

Why, that's an easy one:

To Newt Gingrich's Moon colony of course. Y'all can establish your conservative paradise there. Start from scratch, eradicate any and all "liberal" thought and stuff. From what I understand, it's all about self-reliance - thus, the Moon colony should fit that bill quite perfectly.

You could establish controlled trade with us losers here on Earth, impose tariffs, protect your work force, and use the village shaman to take care of the sick who lack financial resources to purchase health care.

Just heard this on WAMC in call-ins:

- Of the southern seceding states, for every tax dollar they pay they get back between $1.35 and $2.
(Mass. and Calif get back 78 cents on the tax dollar)
- Lowest education and highest obesity rates are in those seceding states, and they are most dependent on military spending.
- People in these states are afraid the government is coming for them, but in reality it does an awful lot for them.
- The Red States are our welfare states, so ironic they wish to secede.
- 50 cents + on the dollar would be most welcome back into our treasury.

"Real Americans", the kind who want to protect the constitution by re-writing it.

Their problem. They're Randian supermen, job creators, movers and shakers, self-reliant and boot-strappy. Surely other nations will be fighting to roll out the welcome mats.

Nope. You asked for more, you got it.

As opposed to wanting some slacking, cross dressing, bisexual hipster who is pumped full of psychedelics and other assorted club drugs???

There's plenty of those in America....they must be tops on the hierarchy of the EU's immigration bucket list.

Unfortunately, the Nazis are already there.
