The Tsar was a horrible ruler. Pretty good thing the romanovs and their white army were toppled.

But, to point out the blatantly obvious, the Bolsheviks were hardly a cure for that particular problem.

Then on the other side I would make sure all the Politicians follow the US Constitution STRICKLY !

Then America can come back in a year or so, and see the results. Because the proof is in the pudding !

Since, at the time of the American Declaration of Independence the American colonies were "under British law" that means that it was treasonous and illegal.

Would that be the US Constitution as the Founding Fathers Originally Intended it to be or some other rule?

Would that also mean that convicted felons would be allowed to vote and/or own firearms PROVIDED that they fulfilled all of the criteria for doing so contained in the US Constitution?

PS - Have I told you recently how much I enjoy your humourous posts?

The red states are the poorest states in the Union, and generally are supported by the blue states.

Who do you propose will support you if you secede? Certainly not yourselves, as you've done ****-all to support your own ****ing states thus far.

Signed,
A red state girl

yes, we're so poor, all the blue people want to move here :rolleyes:

True. Suppose we could have supported the mensheviks but those dolts still wanted to throw Russians into the WW1 meat grinder.

Until changed by other judicial decisions.

I mean, "Dred Scott" is NOT still a part of the laws of the United States of America - right?

And until scotus overturns precedent, secession is still illegal.

Secession is only "illegal" if it fails.

British rope makers would have made BUNDLES of money had the Founding Fathers not imported French military professionals and defeated Great Britain.

Do you deny that the blue states, for the most part, cover the red states?

Because you should be warned - I will come with facts, charts, bar graphs, and a note from my 3rd grade teacher to back up my assertion.

Even if (and it's highly unlikely) there was a secession vote, the secession could not possibly take place until AFTER the copyright lawsuits over the use of the name "United States of America" had been resolved - since the citizenry of BOTH sections would utterly reject calling their country anything other than "The United States of America". That shouldn't take much more than 30 or 40 years.

And then, of course, there would be the matter of who got the UN Security Council seat.

Should one segment get it except for alternate weekends and Christmas Days and what would happen if the Christmas Day fell on a weekend that the "non-custodial country" was NOT supposed to have access? Would the "no-custodial country" get access on the Christmas Day and then have its weekend rotation adjusted so that the Christmas weekend started a new rotation or would the "non-custodial country" get three weekends in a row? AND, what happens to it until that issue is finally decided (and by which court would it be decided)?

No, the logistical difficulties in splitting the US into parts (heaven forbid that consideration should be given to MORE than two parts) are insurmountable.

The Confederate States of Amerika is unused at the moment. They're still manufacturing the flag. The South will rise again, has been a mantra, established in 1865. They don't need Neil Young hanging around.
I doubt that, given a free & fair election, that we'll be losing many, if any states. Maybe we could give 'em a 90 day free trial.

No, I don't need attention paid to me. I get enough of that at home. Don't need it from a random internet stranger.

So that's a no on the proof, then? You'd rather bury your head in the sand than accept the truth?

That's cool - you do you, there, sunshine. Good luck with that secession. Have fun eating twigs and berries because your food stamps stopped when the blue states stopped carrying you.

The Canadian government considered extending an offer (to the blue coloured areas in your graphic) to apply to be annexed to Canada.

After much discussion, it was decided NOT to extend such an offer as they considered that the Canadian culture would be irretrievably harmed by the influx of such a large number of conservatives.

The Canadian government is still considering making such an offer to Hawai'i.

I was right along with you up until the "free & fair election" bit, then I knew that you were joking.
