Why don't we just divide the country?

Everyone that wants socialism and stupid windmills go one direction and everyone that wants capitalism and oil wells will go another. Then we’ll redraw the borders and see who is still solvent in 5 years.

Whaddya think? :cool:

:wink:

The country was split once before and I’m not sure that turned out so well. How about we just take the whole thing over and throw out all the socialists, communists and other progressives!

No. I don’t want to cede ground to the progressives.

Ask the South how well that worked out :wink:
Although, I do think we’d be neighbors if the time ever came.

Hell, what do we do with Wyoming then? It’s chock full of oil and gas, and there’s more windmills than you could shake a stick at in a week! Not too many progressives though. Oh, did I mention that Wyoming has been running a surplus for years? Let 'em have California and New York. I don’t like being that close to people anyways.:smiley:

As they say on the mutual fund ads, past performance should not be taken as an indicator of future success!

Just imagine California with no liberals. It would be an amazing place.

I am all about it. Especially considering when you look at what states actually contribute large amounts to the GDP.

No offense but as a Wyoming native I feel the state is one of the most “progressive” in the nation. It’s just that word has been turned into something bad by people that don’t understand what it actually means. Wyoming is the best state in this nation, and while it has its problems they are miniscule in comparison to the rest of the country.

I think your point about the windmills and oil wells is proof too of how idiotic the media imposed dullard supported left vs. right argument in this country actually is. And to answer your first question WY will continue doing what it does, and stay relatively the same if the rest of the country attempted to split down idiological lines.


i have no problem with progress- i just cant figure out how it’s become inextricably linked to the loss of civil liberties.

But…this time WE’RE the ones with the guns! They can stage a sit-in at the border if they want.

In all seriousness, though, as much as I despise this left vs right BS bickering- I’m glad I live in a place where both sides are allowed to believe as they do and discuss it (even if one side tends to sound like a screeching record that nobody wants to take off the turntable)

2+2=5

Anyone can take a good idea and twist it into representing something entirely different, all you need is enough people and enough money to “reeducate” them.

I don’t think it has. I think that this nation both left and right have walked a path down the road of taking away our civil liberties, and they have been doing so for years. Our political neglect as citizens is responsible for that, and more then anything our obsession with our “side” blinds us from seeing that both “sides” destroy civil liberties equally.

To me progress means moving forward in a way that means you don’t repeat the mistakes of past generations. Wyoming is very much doing this, and in many ways has always been doing it.

south would win this time, liberals dont have any guns remember

My buddies and I were just discussing this at work today. California really is a nice place once you remove the progressives and socialists. We said “You could give them New Mexico, just lead them there in their Priuses and tell them there’s free granola waiting for them at the end of their trip.”:stuck_out_tongue:

not a new idea I did not invent the title of Jesusland so forgive me advance. I neither promote nor deny the idea I am only reporting

and btw the real problem is that we are polarized rather then having a healthy discourse and taking the best ideas from both sides. There is a lot of I would rather see t he country fail instead of letting the (insert the political party of choice) win. Personaly I think they are Dumb f&*ks on both sides. There is to many special intersts instead of statesmen on both the left and the right. Theocracys do not work look at Iran or in history Isreal(not the modern day country) What we lack is balance and a clear vision. You know what it is collectivly all our fault. We are the ones who are electing them off rant

Depends who controls the military individual arms do not count. Last I heard they swore an oath to protect the constitution. The military guys I know take that seriously

Mexico.

Mexico has government subsidized health care.

Mexico does not allow civilians to own guns.

Clearly we should round up the Liberals and begin a forced march, sending them across the Southern Border. Mexico has given us many citizens, we should return the favor & then close ourt border. … . tight! It’d be like the reverse of “brain drain” & they’d probably be happier where their agenda is already in place and working so well;)

This I like! You, your good you!

In before Dave_A…ooops wrong forum! :wink:
