Secession. Time To Encourage The Red States To Get The Hell Out?

"Secession: The Hope For Humanity"
This passionate plea for secession will remind armchair secessionists 
why they don't want to "go there."

***

Dear F,

Encouraging the blood-red states to secede is a good idea. (For decades I have been baffled by Lincoln's obsessive determination to preserve the Union.)

However I can not imagine red state dimwits "taking us up on the offer" even though they pretend to want "out."

Still, it's worth suggesting secession if only to see how the addlepates react.

The Red States have been feeding at the Federal Trough so long -- and so "slurpily" -- that they know damn well which side their bread is buttered on.

 I think they also realize (on some level) that their own viciousness, violence and disdain for The Common Good would soon result in regression to troglodytism.  http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2013/10/if-obamacare-succeeds-republican-party.html

Dear A

I’m thinking, why not offer the option of secession to the blood red states as a way out of this stalemate? This way we don’t have to put up with crazy and crazy doesn’t have to put up with affordable health care, gun control, taxes etc.  Anyone in those states who are sane will have to move. Problem solved.

Love

F

Gary Michaels updated his status: "From a letter to the editor in today's Washington Post:
“We have just carried an election on principles fairly stated to the people. Now we are told in advance, the government shall be broken up, unless we surrender to those we have beaten.... If we surrender, it is the end of us.” So said Abraham Lincoln in 1860 following his victory in the presidential election.
Southern states were demanding a “compromise” on slavery in exchange for not seceding from the union. However, their proposed “compromise” required that the victorious party make all the concessions to ensure the continuation of the institution of slavery. We just completed an election in 2012 in which Democrats won the White House, the Senate and a majority of the popular vote in the House “on principles fairly stated to the people,” yet the Republicans a large percentage of them Southerners) threaten to “break up” the government (through defunding and defaulting on debt) unless the victors surrender to the losers. Has anything changed in 150 years?"
