:D I saw this on another forum and it made me laugh.....



Dear Red States:
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 the entire 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 percent 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 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy
families. You get a bunch of single moms.

Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home.
We do wish you success in Iraq, and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have:
firm control of 80 percent of the country's fresh water more than 90 percent of the pineapple and lettuce
92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit
95 percent of America 's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners)
90 percent of all cheese
90 percent of the high tech industry - 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 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs)
- 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes,
- nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes,
- 90 percent of the hurricanes,
- virtually 100 percent of all televangelists and their buddies like Rush Limbaugh, as well as Bob Jones University, Clemson College and the Univ. of Georgia.
We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you very much.
Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61 percent of you nincompoops believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties.

Finally, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have the Mexican stuff when they knock your wall down.
 
So,let me get this straight:

We "lose" "Calie", Oregon, New York, New Jersey, Massive2sh*ts, and Illinois.
We lose the Colleges that produced almost all of our current politicians.
We lose Hollywood
We get to keep most of the oil refineries,plastics/chemical industry,and over 2/3 the farm land.
For this we will have to put up with mosquitoes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and televangelists.

Sounds fair to me. 'Tell you what, you guys can keep ALL the pot(even from Mexico) I think you're going to need it a whole lot more then we will. Us "reds' will just have to survive on good ole Jack Daniels.

(Presumably, the people who feel "red" will get to leave "Nuevo Calie", right? 'Guess we'll get some of that venture capital and taxable income back, but hey, who's counting)

Yea, people who write these things crack me up when they assume that the banking and investment industries would stay with the side that wants to spend their money for them, based only on the geographical location.

Plus they will get to keep the gay marriages and abortions so the problem of the dissolved union should be self correcting after a generation or so.
 
That was my first thought. You convert all these areas to a "blue paradise" and think business will stay there just because? Don't liberals accuse conservatives of being pawns of big business? If that's the case, why would big business stick with the libs? Plus, land mass wise, most of CA is actually red. Its the coastal areas that are liberal. I think WA or OR have typically been fairly borderline. We'll still get Virginia Beach, probably FL (maybe not a plus, but it's got Disney something and Universal Studios). We'll get most of the good wheeling (again going by which areas vote for what) with Johnson Valley, AZ, NM, Badlands, Tellico which will no longer be under threat of closure, etc.
 
You have to take DC too. And all the politicians that go with it. Then we have a deal.:farmer:
 
Well, technically speaking, Texas can still make their own nation.....again.
 
Can we start tomorrow... I will even throw in my wifes bike for you. Since in your country the internal combustion engine will have to go. I will also include a big bag of sprouts because that is what you will be forced to eat...

I am totally ok with that split, as long as we can watch them spiral ever so far downwards towards the deepest pits of hell, which is exactly where they would end up once they realized that along with all of the "rednecks" they just lost their only willing workforce and with it their tax base, so they could no longer afford their socialist programs, which in turn causes the poverty and crime rates to skyrocket, eventually turning into anarchy and chaos...........Im good with that, so long as they put it all on cable tv and call it the next reality :puke:show
