A Message from the Blue States to the Red States:

Dear Red States:

If you manage to steal this election, too, we've decided we're leaving.
We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that includes California ,
Hawaii , Oregon , Washington , Minnesota , Wisconsin , Michigan , Illinois
and all the Northeast.

We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California.

To sum up briefly:
You get Texas , Oklahoma and all the slave states.
We get stem cell research and the best beaches.
We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood.
We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.
We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss.
We get 85% of America 's venture capital and entrepreneurs.
You get Alabama .
We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay their fair share.

Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22% lower than the Christian
Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families.
You get a bunch of single moms.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80% of the
country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation's fresh fruit, 95% of America 's quality wines, 90% of all cheese, 90% of the high tech industry, 95% of the corn and soybeans (thanks Iowa !), most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Stanford , Cal Tech and MIT.

With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92% of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University , Clemson and the University of Georgia .

We get Hollywood and Yosemite , thank you.

Additionally, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually
swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the war, the death penalty or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you crazy folks who believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties.

Finally, we're taking the good grass. You can have that dirt weed they
grow in Mexico

Peace out,
Blue States

Boy you were wrong. We are the United States. Red blue green yellow, it don't matter.

just a thought but one should point out to the blue states that the red states have most of the nukes as well as haarp so the red states could just drop california and the other left coast states into the ocean.

Funny but, what happens when they all move to the red states as i and my bus. would?

It sucks if i had to move but, in your scenerio i and my entire extended family would happily relocate.

Hey maybe we could call you Russia jr. Enjoy your birka, and if your a woman stop talking not allowed in your state.

Oh and i cant wait for your army to be a bunch of baggy pants gangsters who fight themselves more than the enemy. But, hey if the enemy does come knocking and you are forced to defend yourself you will at least have a bunch of people who hate each other defending you by holding there guns sideways and shooting while yelling profanity...............Good luck with that

hahaha - that's funny. very clever.
i wonder if something that creative has been written for the republicans.

Californians.....tsk tsk


always want to start something with the rest of the United States...almost like Georgia and Russia lol

what would the other side's armed forces look like? i'm curious really.
care to "profile" the other side?

This went around after Bush first took office btw.

I'm amused that it's still circulating.

In what way? This could be a really long answer and i'm a slow typer.

Sorry for the 1 line post.

If those in the blue states agree to take Wallstreet , the federal reserve and Washington off our redstate backs it might be worth it to steal an election no matter who wins. We will take our oil , gas, and power to a more prosperous future. You can keep your federal taxes. So long!

Tell'em not to let the door knob hit'em in the ass as they are leaving.


Roper

The condescending tone in that email is typical. Blue staters are smarter than red staters blah blah blah. I've heard enough of this tripe over the years to make me wanna puke.

I'll take living in my red state with all the blue state transplant folks, (who flock here in droves btw).

I say to the OP of the email (Not the op of this thread)...Don't let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya.

Edit.. Roper beat me to it.

Well it's a poorly thought out solution. Here in third world city state banana republic Miami, does this mean we have to pretend to belong to the Red States or the Blue States, or both States just pretending we belong to the United States takes a lot of work! I am pretty sure both States will need our help, defrauding someone or something and supplying your favorite vices!

reply to post by tmbandt


Easy on the blue staters, they are the big cities and they have it all figured out. Look at the facts, inter cities have....

Great school systems
Low crime
Low taxes
No poverty
Legal gun owners
Safe streets
Educated voters
A feeling of giving not taking
Legal immigration
Civic pride

What that's not true!!!!!!

Will you really? Do you promise? Sounds like a fantastic idea to me. Please take Hollywood, who needs those fruitcakes?

I have looked at life from both sides now (sorry, Joni Mitchell) and I do believe this time around the Republican's make much more sense to me. I don't care to have another leader who is worshipped. Look what that got us with Bush.

Will you please take your mainstream media and the LA Times and the NY Times. We don't want those corrupt propaganda machines on our side. Will you take all the little thugs and gang members? Who wants those? Not us.

I like this idea more and more.

reply to post by anotherdad


the same way you described the army of the other side. describe your side's army. it's easy use the same thought processes you used in your post.

Wow, let's see where to start.. at the beginning I guess:

ohioriver: I guess that escaped the attention of those who vote for the Red, as the Red is campaigning on divisveness.

Velvet Death: And after you dropped those bombs, nice response, where would your food supply be coming from?

Another Dad: Why would you leave a Blue if you're there already? Are you arguning for unity of the States, or your personal belief system? If the latter is the case, maybe you should aknowledge that and start packin'. Pt. 2 - We have the majority of the popualtion as it stands and are not represented by, nor dependent on, Red's to fill the military postions.

II_Raine_II - No, the Red's don't have any witty, or substantive response AFAIK, and from the looks of things aren;t getting one anytime soon

adkchamp and heather: uh-huh.

go right ahead. the red states get texas and alaska and we will be more than happy to sell our resources to you, at a fair price of course. we will also retain significant corporations, military contractors,IT companies, etc. and as a little time goes by more and more busineses will come our way to make products in an environment that is satisfactory to them, but fear not, we will be totally willing to sell them to you, at a fair price of course.

additionally, our citizens will be gun owners, and freedom loving, hard working people with no sense of entitlement and no desire for the govt to take care of us or give us the things we think we deserve.

as a native texan and a supporter of the republic of texas i say make this happen. we will create a new united states, free of socialists and full of individual freedom.

on another note, asiseeit, where do you get your numbers? i think it is common knowledge that if texas were to split from the u.s.a. you would be in big trouble because the u.s. would lose so much as far as natural resources and corporate income(taxes).

be it known that here in texas there is a growing awareness that we can separate from the union and actually prosper. even in todays economy. texas is a can do state and the majority of native texans understand that the u.s. economy is holding us back and affecting us negativily.

texans are an indepentant lot, proud and affirmed that we understand the ways of liberty and what that means. we believe that the govt should answer to us and fear us.

do you think that there is a current govt official that fears its constituents?

i think not, therein lies the problem
