The Nation of New England

Liberal fringies want to secede from the Union.

Now, is it just me, or do these people suffer from serious brain dysfunction?
Is it a vitamin deficiency? Devolving DNA? Sleeping sickness? Reason catatonia?

Why is it that the "lefter" you are politically, the "lefter" you fall on the IQ bell curve?

These are people that:

1) Don't believe in defending national borders
2) Don't believe in guns
3) Don't believe in nationalism
4) Don't believe in a military

They'd have an independent state for maybe a week, about as long as it took for some motorcycle gang, or CAIR, or La Rasa, or the Bloods/Crips to "invade" and take over their little "country".

I guess they haven't exactly thought this one through.
The Southerners, on the other hand, probably would do just fine.
In fact, I'd probably emigrate.

    Its like looking in the mirror. Fancy swapping a link? I am pretty sure we are fighting for the same cause in the long run. By the way I only fire air rifles. I am not the real deal compared to you. You just rule! I am a bloody good shot though.

  2. Carol (should I be calling you Gunslinger?) ;>

    I've always wondered what proportion of the population you had in mind when you talked about liberals. I consider myself a liberal (kind of the same way Schwarzenegger is a conservative,) but I don't believe in many of the things you say liberals believe in.

    I believe in defending national borders. If we built a 20 foot high fence along the whole Mexican border, it would be ok with me.

    I don't like guns, and I think they should be regulated, but I carried one almost every day for 4 years in the military, and I don't think they should be banned.

    I definitely don't believe in a weak, hobbled military, although I think it's been used irresponsibly under the Bush administration.

    I will admit, I don't believe in nationalism. A little bit of patriotism and self-respect is good, but when it starts turning into us vs. them nationalism, it becomes a problem.

    Are you talking about 50% of the population? 10%?

    Thanks.

  3. Steve,

    after reading that...well, yeah, you are a liberal - and a wishy washy one to boot.

    You don't believe in banning guns but you're all for regulating them? You are for a military but not strongly using it? You believe in a little patriotism but not too much?

    Tell me Steve, are you into kissing your sister too?

    As for your question of Gunslinger about percentages, I'd have to say that the percentage of true codepinkfoilhat moonbatters is relatively small - I would say 5% while the MSM portrays it to be much higher.

    In my view, the vast majority of this country is conservative by nature. Although, what the Democrats have successfully done for many, many decades is to lie efficiently about solutions to problems. For example, they have proposed solutions to poverty as in welfare and entitlements which we have seen proven only aggravate the problem - but the Dems have built there base in picking off one issue voters.

    I'm not that fond of the label "Liberal" as it is too wide a term. Hillary Clinton is not a liberal, she is a Socialist. Dennis Kucinich is not a liberal, he is a marxist. And so on.

  4. If they really want to go, let them. It would make it easier to maintain the traditional American ethic without that many liberals

  5. Check out dixienet.org . They're holding a convention this week-end in Chattanooga and meeting with secessionists from New England. They have an ultimately meaningless on line petition which I signed, not because I necessarily agree with their agenda, but because I do agree with a State's right to secede from the Union. The Tenth Amendment has been brutally trampled to the same degree as the Second. Hopefully the secessionist movement will gain enough momentum that it will open some eyes in Washington and they'll stop usurping the powers of the state; much the same way that the NRA and other gun advocacy groups keep the bastards from the door of my gun safe.
    The following is by President Reagan's press secretary Lyn Nofziger. I heartily concur with all of the following.

    "These things I believe:

    That government should butt out.

    That freedom is our most precious commodity and if we are not eternally vigilant, government will take it all away.

    That individual freedom demands individual responsibility.

    That government is not a necessary good but an unavoidable evil.

    That the executive branch has grown too strong,
    the judicial branch too arrogant
    and the legislative branch too stupid.

    That political parties have become close to meaningless.

    That government should work to insure the rights of the individual,not plot to take them away.

    That government should provide for the national defense and work to insure domestic tranquility.

    That foreign trade should be fair rather than free.

    That America should be wary of foreign entanglements.

    That the tree of liberty needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

    That guns do more than protect us from criminals; more importantly, they protect us from the ongoing threat of government.

    That states are the bulwark of our freedom.

    That states should have the right to secede from the Union.

    That once a year we should hang someone in government as an example to his fellows."

  6. Mr. Elephant,

    You hurt my feelings by asking me if I kiss my sister. We liberals are sensitive folk, and try to get along with others. Peace, baby!

    I definitely don't think of myself as a hard-core liberal, but as one who is slightly left of center. I agree with your answer that a very small percentage of Americans are of the CodePinkFoilHatMoonBatters variety. They're annoying, but I don't think they're a threat. I live in the San Francisco area, (actually, in the same small town as Gunslinger,) and even as lefty as this area is, the CodePinkFoilHatMoonBatters are met with derision and eye-rolling by most.

    I don't believe it's the MSM that talks much about the number of liberals in America. Rather, it's right-wing media personalities that talk as if liberals are running rampant and trying to destroy America, if not the world.

    Why does someone who believes in a strong military also have to believe in (mis-)using it? I think speak softly and carry a big stick is a pretty good policy. And why is it required that someone who believes in the right to own guns has to be against any kind of regulation?
