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?
you mean secesion, i think. finally, a correct thinking orthodox jew.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do. Spelling is hard, harder than creating a few paragraphs of hyperbole anyway.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that almost all the red states receive more money from the federal govt than they pay in taxes. Atrios, god of all bloggers, calls them deadbeat states. Californians, New Yorkers, Illionois-people -- all of us are paying their way. It isn't right.
And the fact that they, largely, are fat bible-thumpers doesn't make that pill any easier to swallow. Look at that, I'm plain spoken, just like president Bush! Vote for me! wheee!
I think you both mean "secession."
ReplyDeleteAnd you mock people for being drunk on God, yet keep kosher?
Christianity is dangerous to me as an American and (more importantly) as a Jew.
ReplyDeleteJudaism threatens no one.
