What Would It Look Like If Red States Formed Their Own Country?

[FDK]

You guys are nuts if you think a red state country would be all sunshine and roses. What would happen is the politics would of course shift far to the right... but the problem is the "far right" for Republicans isn't some Libertarian place where adults can do what they want and laws make sense. The "far right" of the Republican party is Authoritarian, which is justified through arguments relating to National Security and biblical morality.

You must watch too much TV or something. You should get out in the real world more. There are far more moderate conservatives than far right ones.

Question: Who won the last Republican presidential primary?

One can just get out on this board and I have yet to find too many social moderates. m00 does have a point.

But everyone bitched about the choice till he bought in a running mate that the Media didn't know and couldn't DOA...that had some real conservative stances. Other than abortion, no one really knows Palin's social stances. Is she a social moderate? If she is, and makes that known. . .then you may have something.

Well, I read too many political messageboards. I see very few Republicans that genuinely believe in freedoms, and small government. They only believe these things conditionally... until one brings up a sacred cow. Hey, just an observation.

They didn't say what the Liberal states would look like, did they.

Massive taxes, massive regulation, massive crime, massive censorship , massives strikes, massive protests massive bureaucracy and very few liberties.

A place that could quicky become a dictatorship, or it would be total a anarchy.

But they would still blame someone else for their misjudgement and out right screw ups.

And one more thing, we would have the farms, the oil, the mines and most of the guns.

You forgot massive unemployment.

It would be interesting to know what they think the Confederate Constitution looked like. I suspect that they have no idea, as most people who like to claim that "The US stole Texas from Mexico..." have never read the Texas Declaration of Independence.

Enjoy. They are completely incapable of reading.

I gave my answer upthread. I bet I'm right too. :p

My bad.

A lot of this was worked out in the Ashes series by William W Johnstone.

If things go through to form, sooner or later the Blues would send a couple million over the border. The Moonbats telling them that all your stuff really belonged to them.

Which one is the biggest?

I can't tell the difference? What are you trying to get at here?? Two pictures of Barney Frank - I don't get it.

IMHO what the DUmmies fail to realize is that by and large...outside of their pretty blue metropolitian enclaves...the rest of the country is one giant Red State!
