Red state denizens deserve their own country
Saletan has an article in Slate yesterday arguing that the Democrats should clear the field for a simple and stupid person who can relate to the great unwashed out in the American Gobi who dearly love the baby Jesus.
I have a better idea. Succession. Let the red states go off on their own. I think I speak for all blue-state people, when I say we promise to let them leave this time. No Civil War. No burning Atlanta. Just go.
Look. The red-staters already take more from the federal govt than they give (unlike say, New York) If they are so gosh-darn unhappy, and so fearful of the corrupting influence of the big cities, so disdainful of their betters on the coasts, why not let them go off and start their own country where they can go to Church, listen to Rush, and square-dance their nights away.
You can't get decent kosher steak in any of those drunk-on-God red states anyway, so who needs them?
