I believe it's time for a 1-state experiment. Give them what they want!

T-bags and repigs have many, many theories about how states, and the nation, should be run. I propose we give them one state to test out their theories for, what a year? OK, however long they believe it would take them to reach the "freedom" they so desperately want and believe the rest of us are denying them, though we'd have to put some limit on the experiment. Two years? Five? OK, fine.

There are several states that would be perfect for this experiment; several have spoken about their desire to dislodge themselves from our godless, demonic nation. Texas, of course, but how would we get those who don't want to be a part of this experiment out to a safe place? That would take money, tons of it.

How about South Carolina? They've made noises about breaking away, and there's even a large effort to move Christians there so they can create their own paradise, complete with "biblical" rules that restrain thoughts and actions in every waking moment.

For the sake of whatever, let's let SC carry out that experiment. Of course we'd have to airlift to safety many of Charleston's citizens, as well as many from other cities, but I'm sure the UN would work with us in that humanitarian effort.

OK, so now South Carolina is its own Christian Nation, as so many of them have claimed they want to be. Great! Presumably they will still want to trade with the USA, though that will require heavily guarded checkpoints, of course. They will not be able to access our porno, and as a different nation will need to set up and clarify their position on whether they want their citizens to have internet access at all. They will surely block broadcast and cable networks that serve other states, but just in case, we'll make sure they aren't stealing them from our nation.

As they are a separate country, we will be eager to sell them our produce, grown in states they hate, for a premium. Also, computers and software designed in "evil" California will be available, just as they are in other countries hostile to the USA.

More to come.

1. Since this new nation of South Carolina will have unlimited guns
Wed Sep 11, 2013, 02:22 AM
Sep 2013

we must make sure the borders around it are secure and that fences are unbreachable. Of course they can trade with China to keep their Wal-marts, the only stores allowed in that nation, stocked, but those stores will lawfully be prohibited from being a part of the rest of the chain, as they are even more brutal than those in other areas, including China.

Oh, and no guns for "blah people," cuz they are violent because they were given so much from us Whites since forever and they don't even say thank you, they are ungrateful and ingrates and don't like my confederate flag on the back of my truck. This is the definition of no respect for me as a white man cuz I earned their respect by not tying them to the back of my truck. I let some of them ride back there when I got a contract to dig a ditch for $250 and paid all five of them $10 to do it while I went to a Chuck Norris movie. I love entrepenurship (sp? who cares, it's French).

There will be no "minimum wage laws" in this Christian utopia of South Carolina. Everyone will be grateful for any work they can get, and all are welcome to eat whatever manna falls from heaven, by law. Those who starve either didn't pray hard enough or didn't have the idea to go to college 20+ years ago while living in a trailer park trying to eat occasionally. They are stupid losers who should just shut up and get out of South Carolina, or, better yet, volunteer to be targets at the gun range in exchange for a coupon raffle for Burger King™'s daily tossing of seven day old burgers. Oh, and they shouldn't have been too stupid to go to college or trade school 20-40 years ago, and there is no time machine to get back there, so fuck them, the damn leaches.

They should have planned better, like i did. When my grandaddy died, I bought me a truck that I use to haul them around so they can do the work while I get the money.

SC wouldn't be big enough for the nuttery bunch. I say include Texass. And they would also need their own Army so Mexico doesn't decide to take it back and turn them into slaves. They would also need their own currency, I guess confederate bills would do. With Rick Perry's picture on them. He's got the best hair.

25. True. The only reason I chose South Carolina
Wed Sep 11, 2013, 07:01 PM
Sep 2013

is that for years there's been a fundy plan to take over a state, and they had chosen SC, in part because of the presence of ocean access, presumably so they can repel an invasion from France and French's Mustard. Florida would be a contender, and maybe Bugs Bunny could finally saw it off and kick it close to Cuba, which would kick it further away by connecting all their pre-1960 automobile engines to power a gigantic boot.

Texas is already talking about secession, has lots of idiots, including the worldwide spokesBush, though we'd have to airlift Austin, perhaps to South Carolina or Atlanta.

Whichever state is chosen, their water must not be allowed to integrate with ours, nor should their air, so they should be covered in a giant bubble of bulletproof (duh) glass. They'll get all the Monsanto mutant seed as well as the company itself, and probably half the population of Colorado Springs and Focus on the Fa**ots, as well as those counties that want to secede from CO as well.

Likely they will establish an army whose uniform shirts will be bright orange so the Cheeto™ stains don't show, and brown pants in the event of war (figure that one out), which will, of course, be their main industry, and soon after establishing Jesustan, they will blame each other, mainly through Fox Noise, which will naturally be headquartered there, of course with no transmission into the newly revived, thriving country of America.

No, no thank you. The moon, or viewing of such, is often a part of a romantic evening, and is poeticized as such. And most of us can't see any other planet unaided. However, if our scientists were to do some constructive shuffling, the moon could be moved into the space of, and gain the name of, Uranus, while that unfortunately named planet could be redeemed and become our "moon," but without the unfortunate correlative, as long as it agrees not to spread its cheeks, because, ew.

Meanwhile, the KKKlancervative planet, once it's off our shores and out of our universe, can go around exposing itself to other planets, other worlds, and will likely find itself recipient of destructive rays, which is fine with me.

when you really think carefully about it. The state is mostly out of the way and won't affect travel and shipping in the other 49 states. There are a lot of people there who are sick of Republican tomfoolery and would love to sell their houses to newcomers, if there were any newcomers. It's hot, buggy, and without Federal programs, will again become a great place to catch malaria, yellow fever and dengue.

We can sell them on all the beaches they can no longer get to because Jebbie allowed his developer friends to wall them off with high rise condos so there is no public access.

It's also a great place for the godly since it's on a major storm track and the preachers can all congratulate themselves over the people god didn't kill.

Its industry is credit, and that can be moved to South Dakota or another state without a usury rate pretty easily.

It would become something like an upscaled version of Somalia. The lack of a minimum wage and labor laws would attract any number of multinational companies however the income disparity would rival the most primitive third world countries. The human condition would sink to that of the 1830s. That of course being what the PTBs would want.
As health care would be only for the well appointed and no funding would be provided for waist disposal, considerable caution would need be taken to assure that interstate travel did not spread disease.
Additional problems would arise for any state 'down river' as any water flowing from that state would be a devils mix of raw sewage and toxic chemicals.
Naturally it would be a 'good christian' state however that in and of itself would bring about problems. Which brand of christanity would dominate. Would it be protestant or baptist or even catholic.
Religious disputes combined with the abundance of weaponry would provide an environment similar to many Middle Eastern countries. Until one cult obtained dominance, sectarian gangs would be free to oppress and possibly murder those not biding by the rules of their particular god.
Yes it would be a republican paradise.

Unfortunately, repatriating them would be as difficult as turning Syria, in it's current condition into the fifty first state.

I've been to New Hampshire, and their plan to turn it into New Hampster On A Wheel is pure evil.

But once they're offered a shot at their version of paradise, they'll load up their trucks and move there. On the other hand, Delaware is tax-free, but I love Poodle Beach too much to allow them to fill it with beer bottles, oil, used needles, bullet casings and general pollution.

OK, what about that Dakota (N? S?) with the mountain sculpture of the presidents? Our scientists could move it somehow and replace it with one made out of toxic earth from all over the current USA. They could go there and all shoot their guns at it just as their taliban mirrors shot up those ancient buddhist sculptures? The joke would be on them, though -- after they shot it up the faces on the mountain would resemble Clinton, Obama, JFK and Krusty the Klown!

The S.C. Supreme Court delivered a costly setback this week to the neighbors of a huge Lee County garbage dump that had been ordered to pay them $2.3 million in damages for sending powerful odors across the countryside near Bishopville.
(....)
In a unanimous opinion Wednesday, the S.C. Supreme Court said invisible odors that float from one person’s property to a neighbor’s land aren’t trespassing. Trespassing occurs only when “physical, tangible things” intrude on a person’s property, the court said.

The mega landfill rises like a mesa on the horizon near Bishopville. The landfill, which is sarcastically called, Mt. Lee, by some.

I'm baffled about what you could possibly read into my posts, that gives aid and comfort to the repugs.

To make it simple, here's my view.

When they win power, they tell us they have a mandate, the people have spoken, anyone who disagrrees with them should shut up and let them govern their crazy right wing way, or get out of the country. Any disagreement with them is called treason. Then they drag all policy to the far right, destroying the whole country, wrecking everything in sight, on all fronts. 20 years of Raygun and the bush family, 15 years of Gingrich, Hastert, and Boehner, have caused massive damage to the nation.

When we win, they display their displeasure via obstruction, nullification, secession threats, 2nd amendment remedies, violence, assassination. All essentially are threats of civil war, actual treason by the losing side. Just shows you the double think they are capable of, when they are assessing the 'sacredness' of elections, the will of the people, and listening when 'democracy has spoken'.

I took it for granted that you don't really feel the repugs have the right to carve a part out of the US and take it over, but were speaking tongue in cheek about how great it would be if they were gone from our electoral politics and the mainstream of our society. And any society composed purely of their people would quickly fall flat on its face. I agree with the feeling, but then we simultaneously have Perino nattering away on FOX about the 'pledge of allegiance' controversy. In this case, her loser party feels they speak from a position where they 'represent the will of the people', where their party 'is' America, and where anyone who disagrees with 'her America' and the 'sacredness of democracy' can get out of the country. (Of course, they're wrong on this issue, too.)

Me pointing out that their diseased political thinking is schizo, containing two diametrically opposed ideas that they are capable of holding at the same time, double think, is not a very good endorsement of their party's views.

But if one of their ideas has to be enacted, I vote for malcontent repugs to take advice from malcontent repugs Perino and Limbaugh -- I vote for them to just leave, instead of voting for us to ceed control of part of our country to them.

And about the reality of our foreign aid packages going to despotic dictators for 'defense' of our 'national interests' (which just means the interests of big corporations' profits abroad, not the interests of our citizens.)

And about the unprecedented repug legislative obstruction of the last 4 presidential terms where the people elected a Dem.

And about US multinational corps' connections to all the high profile disasters in the 3 countries I mentioned.

But I think your accusation and threat of pizza is a real stretch. The fact that you don't back off of it is showing that your 'orthodoxy sniffer' is on the fritz. So nothing I can say can placate you. If I were you, and felt the way you do, I'd alert or call mirt.

I'm not a big fan of closed borders; I'm willing to breath some fallout if it means people can change their minds and opt out of the experiment any time they want, or (yikes!) decide to leave a saner state and go live in the experiment.

Our experiments with democracy have always been conducted with dangerous materials; we can only hope our federal laws provide some limits on how much poison can be injected at the state level.

Speaking of poisons, that's a big problem with just "letting one go unchecked". If the republicans decide to completely ignore all environmental regulation to go forward with their exploitation of nature, air and ground water don't use the same borders humans do. True isolation in that sense is hard to achieve.

See, they want isolationism, and I want them to have it as well!

Sorry if I was unclear earlier, but once we isolate the KKKristers (as they desperately want) we can let them carry on their experiments under the bullet-proof, nuclear-proof dome we will donate to them as a Church Donation, depleting the funds the US gov't has taken from taxpayers, mostly to give Pat Robertson money since the Bush years. And, bonus! Pat will go to that new nation as well, and keep spewing his hatred and keep taking money from idiots he frightens. It's a perfect self-sustaining system!

Don't worry about the environmental implications in this case! Republicans will have their OWN environment to play with, giant magnifying glasses included, and all Monsanto properties in there as well. A giant dome will cover their ass-Holy ground, bullet-proof, nuke-proof, and lead lining at least 100 feet down will prevent them from fouling Mother Earth any further than they've done! Rivers that may exist there will be re-run into the water supply, and they can use prayer to purify the waste water. IT WILL WORK, they tell us, so SURE, OK, let's not doubt them.

If any of them want to visit the USA, they can be screened for diseases, including hate >>AAAANNNKKKK<< they'd most likely fail that one, but if they pass, there are more tests they can take, to ensure that America is no reinfected.

The main disease to screen for, though, is HATE. Irrational hate against Real Americans. I'm not talking about the "Real Americans" Palin, et al screeched about. I mean the Real Americans who work, even if it takes two or more jobs, to put food on their family.
