Yep, you read it right here:
I believe it's time for radical ideas -- just as it was time in 1776.
Frankly, I don't see a way to unite a people as divided as Americans are today. We are trying to pretend we're one nation when we are really two.
One of those two nations clings to the promises and covenants of the past, the Bible, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, as the guiding principles. The other believes in and lives with no immutable standards.
It's not a Republican vs. Democrat split -- as the current election illustrates. I know many Republicans would find themselves more comfortable in the country of no standards. I also suspect many Democrats would actually find themselves more at home in the nation of the Bible, Declaration and Constitution. |
Too bad the Declaration and the Constitution don't say anything about the bible. The Constitution itself, which is what the US gov't is actually based on, doesn't even mention god.
The Declaration was just them telling the british to eff off, wasn't it?
Anyhow, it's interesting to see this. It'd be fun to watch.

They're going after South Carolina, but giving them the ability to sail elsewhere in the world is a bad idea, I think.
Others have suggested the Dakotas or Montana, but I think we owe it to our northern neighbors to keep the Dominionists safely surrounded. Sure, the rest of us didn't cause the problem, but we've got a responsibility to the world to help fix it. |

You left out the reddest state in the union, Idaho! I'm quite sure myself, my wife and our daughter are the only liberals in the whole damn state, certainly in the Panhandle! The Canadians think you cross over the border south into lunatic-land!
Trouble is, it is drop-dead gorgeous, has a low cost of living and cheap real estate, has the least expensive electricity in the country (Grand Coulee Dam is just a few miles up the highway) and has a neat, mild four-season climate! Really God's country - just ask the natives!
There's no free lunch! |

I thought they had already tried that in the 1860ies...
Or is it an every 100 years thing?
Anyhoot; that's pretty fucking ridiculous, the country is certainly not more divided now that during the 1960ies.
Although, I soon as I am done in Mississippi, I'd support the idea. For the sake of the fake America... |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Hope not. I wouldn't trust them anymore than I trust Iran. |
