Time for the people to take control and throw both the righties and lefties out of Washington.

You cannot have a powerful central government like Washington is now and expect to have any semblance of the nation we used to have. A precondition to any just system is to bring it to the states where they must compete for its citizens.

People become more conservative once they pass 40.

Dem pols know this, but apparently Bots don't.

The problem is it's a central city vs suburban and rural divide.

There is no natural division by region or states except perhaps for New England.

Dear liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters:

It has become painfully obvious that things are just not working out between us, so we propose an equitable and friendly break up...

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective
representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

--We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.
--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.
--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel.
--You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.
--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street
--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens.
--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.
--We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .
--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.
--We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks and over-sized luxury cars. You can take every Toyota Prius and Subaru station wagon you can find.
--You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors.
--We'll continue to try to find ways of reducing the costs of healthcare that don't shred the Constitution.
--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya" or "We Are the World".
--We'll practice trickle down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.
--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete.. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

P.S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Barbara Streisand, & JaneFonda with you.

P.S.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country.

70% of the active armed forces that have said they would refuse orders to fire on American citizens.

You have nothing, This idea that they will mindless order any order is a joke and a bad on at that, any nation that use its own military on its own people has lost any moral or legal right to govern its people.
You're guns are aimed from ignorant, red neck racist viewpoints. A very bad aim. Where our government has a well tuned fighting machine with a bigger arsenal than your skin headed, doomsayers bigots could possibly put together while stumbling around playing remakes of the David Korich tapes swearing he isn't going to murder his own children and trying to get all the wacko groups to head in one direction. No one will be able to "lead, follow, or get out of each other's way". If our United States of American troops, active or not, found their country to be under attack from foreign or domestic terrorists, or seceded states of now, NON Americans....they will most definelty do their sworn duty and protect the true citizenry.

Not to. Mention, have you even bothered to watch a few historical documentaries about what really happened during the civil war, the fear, stench, blood, rotting bodies, burned homes, ruined crops, amputees, broken families, extreme poverty that many southern states are still suffering from. Why would you ever wish hell upon your own people and not participate in bringing our country together. A nation divided cannot stand!

I don't hate anyone. Hate steals your soul and makes you miserable and angry. That's pretty much true of any conservative.

Liberals... on the other hand... Just seethe with venom and anger constantly toward their political opposition.

All that has to be done is stop trucking goods into central cities.

Game over.

Sorry, we are all in this together, like it or not....oh by the way.....there is an exact duplicate of this thread written with all the right wing bah, blah, blah in the same format....on this site. I am sure someone will find it and restate it, that is way to much research for me to bother with, but then you already know the thread, you copied it verbatim and simply changed the political viewpoints and some names.

That isn't seething anger, it is smirking, self righteous, amusement at right wing crazy.
