Possible solution to right vs left philosophical war.

[John Turberville]

The war of ideas between liberals and conservatives and resistence to change I see coming from the "so called" patriotic right just seems to continue and get worse.
Perhaps it is time to consider the breakup of the US. The "Red States" would be allowed to secede
and the blue states could stay a part of the US. I say let the conservatives try it their way (they already did and failed in leading the US) in their own private states. They could have NO UNIONS, pay no taxes and be "free" to pursue unregulated capitalism. It would be interesting to see how their ideas would turn out if left unchecked. Of course they would receive no aid from the US Federal govt since they wouldnt be part of it. I am sure they could find a "non socialist" way to create fire fighters, police and all the things that "Big Government" provides for them in the US. I am sure that those with the big money would just donate to these causes out of the goodness of their hearts. I am sure the riches of the Big business money makers in these "right to work" states would "trickle down" to those employed in these profitable businesses. Illegal aliens could be dealt with in whatever way the newly declared sovereign nation decided. The homeless and disenfranchised would, of course, pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Why not give them a chance to see their ideas come to fruition?

Here's one of my favorite screeds (it's rather inflammatory and rude, but appropriate...and fun):

Fuck the South.

Fuck the South. Fuck 'em. We should have let them go when they wanted to leave. But no, we had to kill half a million people so they'd stay part of our special Union. Fighting for the right to keep slaves - yeah, those are states we want to keep.

And now what do we get? We're the fucking Arrogant Northeast Liberal Elite? How about this for arrogant: the South is the Real America? The Authentic America. Really?

Cause we fucking founded this country, assholes. Those Founding Fathers you keep going on and on about? All that bullshit about what you think they meant by the Second Amendment giving you the right to keep your assault weapons in the glove compartment because you didn't bother to read the first half of the fucking sentence? Who do you think those wig-wearing lacy-shirt sporting revolutionaries were? They were fucking blue-staters, dickhead. Boston? Philadelphia? New York? Hello? Think there might be a reason all the fucking monuments are up here in our backyard?

No, No, No! Get the fuck out. We're not letting you visit the Liberty Bell and fucking Plymouth Rock anymore until you get over your real American selves and start respecting those other nine amendments. Who do you think those fucking stripes on the flag are for? Nine are for fucking blue states. And it would be 10 if those Vermonters had gotten their fucking Subarus together and broken off from New York a little earlier. Get it? We started this shit, so don't get all uppity about how real you are you Johnny-come-lately "Oooooh I've been a state for almost a hundred years" dickheads. Fuck off.

Arrogant? You wanna talk about us Northeasterners being fucking arrogant? What's more American than arrogance? Hmmm? Maybe horsies? I don't think so. Arrogance is the fucking cornerstone of what it means to be American. And I wouldn't be so fucking arrogant if I wasn't paying for your fucking bridges, bitch.

All those Federal taxes you love to hate? It all comes from us and goes to you, so shut up and enjoy your fucking Tennessee Valley Authority electricity and your fancy highways that we paid for. And the next time Florida gets hit by a hurricane you can come crying to us if you want to, but you're the ones who built on a fucking swamp. "Let the Spanish keep it, it’s a shithole," we said, but no, you had to have your fucking orange juice.

The next dickwad who says, "It’s your money, not the government's money" is gonna get their ass kicked. Nine of the ten states that get the most federal fucking dollars and pay the least... can you guess? Go on, guess. That’s right, motherfucker, they're red states. And eight of the ten states that receive the least and pay the most? It’s too easy, asshole, they’re blue states. It’s not your money, assholes, it’s fucking our money. What was that Real American Value you were spouting a minute ago? Self reliance? Try this for self reliance: buy your own fucking stop signs, assholes.

Let’s talk about those values for a fucking minute. You and your Southern values can bite my ass because the blue states got the values over you fucking Real Americans every day of the goddamn week. Which state do you think has the lowest divorce rate you marriage-hyping dickwads? Well? Can you guess? It’s fucking Massachusetts, the fucking center of the gay marriage universe. Yes, that’s right, the state you love to tie around the neck of anyone to the left of Strom Thurmond has the lowest divorce rate in the fucking nation. Think that’s just some aberration? How about this: 9 of the 10 lowest divorce rates are fucking blue states, asshole, and most are in the Northeast, where our values suck so bad. And where are the highest divorce rates? Care to fucking guess? 10 of the top 10 are fucking red-ass we're-so-fucking-moral states. And while Nevada is the worst, the Bible Belt is doing its fucking part.

But two guys making out is going to fucking ruin marriage for you? Yeah? Seems like you're ruining it pretty well on your own, you little bastards. Oh, but that's ok because you go to church, right? I mean you do, right? Cause we fucking get to hear about it every goddamn year at election time. Yes, we're fascinated by how you get up every Sunday morning and sing, and then you're fucking towers of moral superiority. Yeah, that's a workable formula. Maybe us fucking Northerners don't talk about religion as much as you because we're not so busy sinning, hmmm? Ever think of that, you self-righteous assholes? No, you're too busy erecting giant stone tablets of the Ten Commandments in buildings paid for by the fucking Northeast Liberal Elite. And who has the highest murder rates in the nation? It ain't us up here in the North, assholes.

Well this gravy train is fucking over. Take your liberal-bashing, federal-tax-leaching, confederate-flag-waving, holier-than-thou, hypocritical bullshit and shove it up your ass.

And no, you can't have your fucking convention in New York next time. Fuck off.

[Mark Mentzer]

I'm laughing my politically incorrect ass off.

[Rhon91]

This is by far the best thing Ive read since all this nonsense started. Thanks for the laugh Boothby! Wish I could see someone like THIS on the news... of course the F's would be beeped out. I just wish the media would stop showing the ignorant on TV and in the papers... I see them spewing their crap but few who call them on it- although I thought Obama did well addressing the 'myths' aka LIES out there concerning healthcare reform...

[Boothby171]

"All that bullshit about what you think they meant by the Second Amendment giving you the right to keep your assault weapons in the glove compartment because you didn't bother to read the first half of the fucking sentence? "

I'm sorry...this is just too funny!

(BTW, I didn't write that piece, nor have I checked it for validity. I wonder if Snopes or FactCheck looked into it???)

[P.A.]

I am from the South and I am not an idiot. There may be lots of them around but there are also many very intelligent people here who know better. What am I and the ones like me supposed to do? I could get mad but I am sure you didn't really mean to direct all of that rage at the South. There are lots of idiots where you come from too.

[John Turberville]

"There are lots of idiots where you come from too."

Probably more where I come from. Look at the state of California. Dont be offended Pick, I propose Texas as a "testing ground".

Speaking of stupid: The fundis bring "so called" religiously persecuted people to Calif(after converting them to fundi Christianity),put them on CALIF welfare then tell them they must vote republican because Dems are Godless. Now, that's shoving liberalism right up the liberal's ass. And nobody says a word. They even took over the student council at a local college and tried to mandate
what could and could not be taught on campus....(obviously NOT evolution). Fortunately they were thwarted and moved to another college to peddle their beliefs.

[ZenDog]

And it would be 10 if those Vermonters had gotten their fucking Subarus together and broken off from New York a little earlier. Get it?

HEY!

I'll have you know Vermont was tossin' Rensellier trash down the road long before the revolution got underway. We only got locked out of consideration as an original colony because of Rensellier politicing in the first Congress.

The boyz finally decided that since we were holding down the fort on a major highway bisecting the northern alliance -- LAKE CHAMPLAIN -- that it would be ok to settle the matter with a little Rensellier extortion.

For some reason the folks paid New York $24,000 to settle claims that were bogus from the start. AND I WANT THE MONEY BACK. EVERY CENT. WITH INTEREST.

[Nebs Jima]

I think if Abraham Lincoln let them go after freeing the slaves, they would be the one acused of illegally crossing to the northern states. After the war the north had spend a whole lot of $$ for the reconstructions.
Now the conservatives want to be the party of the south whose ideology is hate, hate and hate. They pretend to be christians, yet they are filled with greeds. It used to be they cover the heads with white sheets, now the hoods are changed with suits and they become savy in their choices of words.
The confusing part is their stand is against their own economic interests, they poverty rates are by far the largest is where? The only common interest I see between, few rich republicans and Wal Mart republican I see is hate.

[Mark Mentzer]

Great idea. I love it.

[John Turberville]

I'm still trying to visualize a "capitalist" fire and police dept. You're being robbed? Assaulted? We take credit cards or cash only... Oh, you dont have any credit or cash.... You should have planned better. They could always put a lien on your property if the firemen had to come out. And, of course 911 would be a "fee based service".
Any other arrangement would be "socialism".

[John Turberville]

And, I am also sure that the US ciitizens doomed to national health care would provide a booming business
to this new nation's healthcare as they slinked across the borders and begged for "fee based" medical care.....if they had the money.
Seriously folks! The only way to shut these guys up is to give them a chance to perpetrate their philosophy among themselves. I would love to see the reaction of the "non rich" conservatives after a few years. I just dont want to be part of it.

[Westerly_2]

I wonder who would fill the potholes and widen the roads w/o taxes? What are they thinking?

This is hysterical, Boothby.
