So you think 64 million Democrats should move to Mexico because they dont agree with your political agenda? You ever think Democrats love America as much as you do?

And you wouldn't have to. People can either join a health care co-op, or not. It's solely their own choice.

The majority of Counties in Washington State are Red Counties. You willing to split them off also ?
You'll actually live in a very small Blue Island along the coast.

How do you think those people will vote and those Sheriffs will enforce your Liberal laws ?

So the proposal is for the red counties to split off from the blue states?

I didn’t say anything about Democrats.

But I do think that people who have no problem with continuing the flow of illegal Latin Americans into the United States should move to a Latin American country. It would be a happy split.

I was talking with a friend about this and how the red states would control the oil, water, and agriculture which are the lifeblood of a nation.

Reply was that as long as the blue states had the money they would buy what they needed, and the red states would compete with Mexico and Canada to supply the blue states.

But wondered how immigration would be handled between the two countries. Would people be allowed to wander back and forth at will or would each side have certain criteria, such as the ability to support one's self?

What would happen to the less fortunate on the red side? Traditionally, conservatives have opposed social service programs. Combine that with less money to spend and what would happen to those who need these programs? Would they just do without or try to get into the blue zone?

They'll migrate to the "open borders" blue side and suck up all of the blue side's resources.

Russia thinks we should split this country so I’m sure they are going to keep feeding those that think we are too different to live together in one country and that the biggest enemy is our country men that think differently from us.

That was Russia's plan? are there any more tin foil hats left? I don't need Russia to tell what is obvious, I don't want to be your neighbor...

Well maybe not their plan, more like their prophesy or prediction for America's future.

Quote:
“We will take America without firing a shot ... we will bury you!

“We can’t expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have communism.

“We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within.”--- Nikita Khrushchev... November of 1956 "My vas pokhoronim!"
I believe that Khrushchev was fully aware of America's lax immigration system and the failure of of immigrants both legal and especially illegal to fully assimilate into our culture, speak our language and understand the principles of which this country was founded on. Because of that the United States of America would be ripe for the taking. Multiculturalism will eventually do us in, as it is in the process of doing it now. "I don't want to be your neighbor..." that just about says it all. Divided we will indeed fall.

Below is the Democrat Party's platform, everything that I am against. Of course they'll deny it, I expect that.

Quote:
There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a socialist state. The first is the most important.


1 Healthcare—control healthcare and you control the people.


2 Poverty—increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.


3 Debt—increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce even more poverty.


4 Gun control—Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.

5 Welfare—Take control of every aspect of their lives (food, housing, income).


6 Education—Take control of what people read and listen to–take control of what children learn in school.


7 Religion—Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools.


8 Class warfare—Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
