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 all the 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, 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, 99 percent

of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all

televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University , Clemson and the

University of Georgia . We get Hollywood and Yosemite , thank you.



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 war, 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 crazy bastards believe you

are people with higher morals then we lefties.



Finally, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed

they grow in Mexico



Peace out,



Blue States

Am I that predictable? :lol:
 
What about the Mid-Atlantic states? Maryland (my home state) is as blue as they come! We should take Northern Virginia too...

If we change this to "county", then OC gets annexed to Red. And because we all OC is the best place to be in the world, Red wins. By default. No matter what else is in the Blue. Hands down.



My logic is absolute!
 
I believe our President elect said it best "...we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of America."



I would suggest the author of this piece try to balkanize another country...
 
Not to mention it is the "lazy Blue Staters" that prop up the the Red Staters with their taxes.

It very well could be. This is the first time I saw it and I got a good chuckle out of it so thought I'd share it. I know it probably wasn't the best timing, but I knew some of us elitists would get a chuckle out of it.



I do recall a Paul Krugman article documenting how blue states send more to the fed than they get and red states receiving more than they pay. Also, ironically, the red states had higher rates of divorce, teen pregnancy, etc.... It inspired me to actually put together a spread sheet of the GDP of blue and red states, but I can't recall what the exact figures were, but the bluer states are more productive.



I've been to some red states and it's a different world in places like Arkansas, South Carolina and Oklahoma. Call me an elitist, but man the IQ's in those areas are very lowNorth Carolina and Georgia aren't as bad. In fact I really like a lot of NC and Atlanta. I've seen NC change quite a bit over the last 10 years, but SC is still the same.

You are an elitist.



Now you should be happy along with the other tree hugging, whale saving, latte drinking, pipe smoking, quiche eating, Prius driving, tofu farting fairies. ;-)



Love, peace, and ****



Enjoy

I remembered it because I took great glee in pointing out that the red states (then) would be more than happy to keep all the water from the Colorado River, all the corn/wheat/soybeans/sugarbeets, all the cattle & pigs & sheep, and the blue states could see how far California's produce could get them while SoCal reverted to it's natural desert state.
