		<description>Rhetorical question:   if red states booted the blue states out of the union, what chance would blue states have to either a) stop it or b) survive as a viable country for more than a couple of decades?

The way I see it, again rhetorically, Blueusa would swirl down the sewerpipe with Europe.

But Blueusa would have better gangsta rap and several million more fashion designers.</description>

		<description>Secede, gemi, secede.  Although should Texas (and others) succeed in their effort to secede, the federal government would cede any control over Texas, et al.  

Also, as has been noted above (or is it below?), the notoriety of your majority is preceded by your vocabulary and your dazzlingly masterful use of the english language.

Please come back and entertain us further---once you graduate journalism school.  Or is constitutional law your forte?  Whatever!!</description>

Alas, for great &#039;thinkers&#039; like &#039;gemi&#039; - reading and comprehension are two very different things.</description>

		<description>gemi:  &quot;majoriety&quot;

Learn to spell and proof read.   Then come back and lecture with your drivel.

A 54% majority based on lies and deception does not give a party the right to reverse 230 years of tradition.

Even somebody as stupid as you, gemi, ought to be able to grasp that passing an 870 billion dollar spending package (estimated by some to cost 3.2 trillion overall), without giving the Congress a chance to read it is a wee bit undemocratic.   And &quot;ya&#039;ll&quot; support democracy, not dictatorship.

Read the Constitution.   It might help.</description>

		<description>&quot;But right now, you are a very small minority.&quot;

Under the left&#039;s playbook, doesn&#039;t that give us special privileges? 

And it is a bit hilarious that you would consider 46% of the population &quot;a very small minority.&quot; Mr. Clinton won the Presidency with only 43% of the votes in 1992.

Speaking of which, you do realize that Obama is the first Democrat candidate since 1976 to win a true majority of the votes for President.

Did you and the rest of the left sit down and shut up since 1980?</description>

		<description>Obama is the elected president by a majoriety of Americans.  Ya&#039;ll like democracy right?

Next time, you see if you can win an election and that should tip you off that the majoriety thinks along your lines.  Right now, the majoriety supports what Obama is doing. 

Honestly, the left is not against Texas succeeding- that&#039;s fine.  We want to separate the red and blue states too.  We think that you guys are un-American, anti-democracy and just plain stupid and scary.  If we confine you all to one place,you will probably shoot each other off.  

Work within the law and if you don&#039;t like the laws, elect people that support your point of view.  But right now, you are a very small minority.</description>

		<description>Yeah Nancy, we&#039;re the ones being funded by zillionaires, organized by leagues of professional agitators, manned by paid rent-a-mobs, and covered by a fawning news media.  And you&#039;re a beautiful, intelligent young woman.</description>

		<description>Jay, I said that very thing somewhere on here (S&amp;L) the other day.  These are people (the gimme crowd) that have to have everything done for them and then paid for doing anything else.

Not only that but I find it so interesting at how polite and nice everyone has been at the tea parties.  And they also clean up after themselves. Our town square was as clean after the demonstration as it was before...and it&#039;s always clean.

It does say a lot about them for sure!</description>

		<description>Not only do their protestors have to be paid, they can&#039;t even make their own signs.  Compare the hand-made signs at the tea parties with the commercially printed signs at the immigration rallies.</description>

		<description>Thanks AB,

&#039;Twas meant to be optimistic.   But you&#039;re right, of course.  The Spanish version won&#039;t bother me as they are largely illiterate.   The Arabic version simply means that it won&#039;t be the United States anymore, I&#039;ll most likely be dead and that somewhat limits my ability to care.  

My daughter, by that time, will hopefully have realized how ugly it got and left long before it got that bad.  

As for Pelosi and the whiners at the MSM, they&#039;re credibility has taken huge hits throughout these past months and will continue to do so.  It does take awhile but when people see other intelligent people who present logical, unemotional arguments about the what/why/how, etc.  they slowly come around to the more sound argument.  There are always those who cannot be rescued, of course but those who see that it makes sense that their money will evaporate, that their freedoms will crumble and their dreams for a better tomorrow are actually hinged to a rusty old bucket with holes in it, they can...and often will wake up.   

But that&#039;s just me being optimistic.</description>

		<description>I like your analysis, Rusty - except that by 2065 all junior high textbooks will be either in Spanish or Arabic -unless...unless we can take back our country. That effort stated yesterday - let&#039;s keep it moving!</description>

		<description>so, in essence Pelosi is saying that Republicans are using the same stragedies that Obama use. There was no lying at the tea parties. Just the liberal lying about the tea parties. It was so funny to watch the clips today of anchors sayin g they were standing in front of frenzie&#039;s and exterimists, etc, but the people behind the anchors showed that a picture is worth a thousand words. 
At least we wave the American flag, and dont&#039; burn it, or step on it like the liberals do. I guess she&#039;s not doing repenance like the Pope told her to.</description>
