http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38571

Let's help them name their new nation.

Ideas??

[GOPisEvil]

1. Handmaidstaleia

[BurtWorm]

2. Why must it be *within* the US?

:evilfrown:

[russian33]

3. Moronia?

USI - United States of Idiots? no, can't use that...only one state...mmmmhhh, this is a good one...how about BU - Bigots United? no, that throws dark light on Boston Univ...

[GOPisEvil]

4. That's MorAnia!

:D

[BurtWorm]

7. Pinnheadsylvania?

:shrug:


PS:

Constifornia?

[Richardo]

16. LOL burt!

I especially like the two "n's". :D

[shaolinmonkey]

5. How about Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan.

There were no gay marriages there. Perhaps they could go there.

[Beware the Beast Man]

6. Don't let freedom hit you in the ass on your way out!

United States of Fundigelica

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. How about calling it Taliban West

[Fenris]

12. The Fillmore West had Bill Graham

The Taliban West will have Billy Graham.

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. LOL! I like it

Though i don't think you'll find Billy Graham on the theological side of these secessionist idiots. He might be conservative, but he's not a moran. :-)

Still, funny joke. :evilgrin:

[JM]

18. Since "stan" means place...

..."West Talibanistan" would be apropos

JM

[mot78]

41. Fallwellstan

[Fenris]

Jesustan

[rogerashton]

9. Why do they hate American freedom so?

eom

[Wapsie B]

32. To have true freedom,

you actually have to let people BE free. Konservative fundies miss that crucial fact.

[Rabrrrrrr]

49. No, they offer us the freedom to be just like them!

Even if they have to do it by gunpoint. How free can you be? Free to be exactly like me! Now that's freedom.

[Mojambo]

10. "Newfreeland"

For all you Mr. Show fans out there...

[asthmaticeog]

51. Git off mah laaaaand!

[Catholic Sensation]

11. what is it with south carolina and secession?

[Bossy Monkey]

24. Hey, it's a clown from Texas picking on us

The Free-Staters picked New Hampshire: http://www.freestateproject.org/index.jsp
I don't like their chances either.

[dolo amber]

47. Fffffttttttt!!!!!

Thanks J, now I have to clean my monitor! :D

[arcane1]

13. please do this, I beg of you!

the other 49 states would thank you all for it

not a slam on SC, but on the freaks who had this idea

children cannot pray in schools indeed :eyes:

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. Yeah! Let's take up a collection!!

let's pay to move every brick-brained idiot who thinks that any group of people can get together and hammer out a "Christian Nation" without it resulting in the same kind of fighting and debate we have in the secular world. And then, once they're all over before, but before they realize the hell they've created, we close the border and say "Oops, sorry - you left. Can't come back. In fact, you can't even visit."

What an assassine idea. Do they really think they can make a "pure" "Christian" nation? They'll kill each other once they get over their agreement on banning homosexual marriage. The big argument will be over the law about the official, state version of the Bible to use. Then another huge-ass argument over what form of creation science to teach. Then another squabble and divisive war over state mandated age of baptism. Eventually, they'll be 3,800 little nations.

[GOPisEvil]

23. Sentence them to live in their own Utopia.

Most of them would want to come back.

[arcane1]

26. exactly, it would be so amusing to see them fighting over this

do we include Hoseah 13:16, or not? What about the "no graven images" commandment?

would the shellfish in SC be considered an "abomination"

Hell I think "Abomination" would be a perfect name for their little theocracy :evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

52. I'd hate to think of their new "Old Testament" based legal system

Which I'm sure they'd consider to be just like the Holy US Constitution, the other document they worship, except theirs wouldn't have a bill of rights or anything like that, but yet that fact would always elude them.

Instead of innocent until proven guilty, it would be "We would never try an innocent man as that would be immoral, so you must be guilty. If you were innocent, you wouldn't be here."

And while they'd get their wet dream of mandatory Principal-led prayer-time in their new "Bible-based" schools, they will quickly explode into a thousand factions debating the proper time for those prayers, the minimum lengths they must be, and how to properly punish any students who giggle or raise their heads during prayer time ("We should hit them with rulers, like the Bible says !" - "No, they should be ridiculed by the class, like the Bible says!" - "No, they should be sent home without lunch and a note to their parents to spank the child, like the Bible says" - "No, they be spanked right there and then, like the Bible says")

[arcane1]

53. lol, exactly

their self-destruction would be assured, and the REAL USA would be fundie-free

I guess these people really hate America, don't they?

[Rabrrrrrr]

63. Yes, they do hate it.

Even though they say they are the best patriots, they really, if they would face themselves, hate America. What they love is a Fundamentalist-Christian-only Light-On-The-Hill America that has never existed, but which they are absolutely sure DID exist, and WAS America, until the 1960s. They say they love America, but they hate that OTHER, non-fundy-Christian, non-white people get to take advantage of the right to liberty, life, and the pursuit of happiness. They hate civil rights, they hate the law treating people equally. In fact, if you inspect their churches (and I'm talking only fundies here), you will see that they hate democracy and group consensus. They like - in fact, psychologically, they are built to NEED - authority from on high, a single person who makes decisions and gives them the truth.

I'd love to watch them implode.

I wonder why they don't just look around and see how much they also hate each other? They all claim to have the truth, but a lot of these people come from completely independant churches - not even affiliated with a denomination - because they're so sure that other churches have it wrong. How can they possibly expect to form a country together, unless they limit it to about 50 people? And then, because they never stop rutting, the next generation will be too big to manage a peaceful "Christian theocracy" and then it will implode.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

Mayeb we should offer to BUILD them a place they can make their own nation.

[liberalhistorian]

57. Hell, as long as

there are tests there will be prayer in schools! :evilgrin:

[UrbScotty]

15. Well, this proud Catholic is staying in the US.

I wonder how much those "Christians" will listen to the teachings of their religion's founder?????????

As for the name... FRUC? Free Republic of Un-Christians. :shrug:

[Wapsie B]

17. "Burnell says South Carolina has been selected as the target location. "

I'm all for it. However, ALL of the konservative fundies have to move there. Shove 'em all in there and let 'em create their little utopia and let the rest of us alone. They will not be allowed to pollute the rest of this country with their views.

[sus]

20. then they'll be a nuclear power and we can

invade and enslave them!

dibs on all the submissive wives. i need a maid i can push around.

[NoPasaran]

22. "Too small for a republic; too large for an insane asylum." n/t

[tandot]

19. "Ignorancia"

I first thought this is a joke. Hey, can I help to build a wall around them so they can't get out? Or maybe we'll find a small island for them where they can live in ignorance and preach hate.

Only in America...

[Lucky Luciano]

25. How about we give them Johnston atoll

in the South Pacific. Eventually the nuclear radiation from the atomic tests will take them out. Either that or it will cause mutations that will invaribly improve their genetic lot since their genetic material has nowhere to go but up.

[politicat]

27. Can we barricade them in?!? Please?!?!

Wonder how long it would take for them to get desperate if the Teamster's refused to do business with them?

Pcat

[guitar man]

36. I agree

Strict border control is in order. We have already been attacked by terrorist from radical fundamentalists countries, I see no reason to take any chances in that regard.

[LynneSin]

28. Can they take George with them

Seriously - I like this idea! Give all the religious numnuts their own state and leave the rest of us alone. Go ahead, bye-bye. Just allow the normal folks of that state the ability to move out so they aren't tortured with your laws (and help pay for their move, I'm sure you have some rich fundie who can pay for the to leave).

I like this idea - seriously!!! They can appoint Bush as their lifetime dictato....I mean leader

[tjwash]

29. They can have New Mexico...

...they will fit right in with today's top ten CI's

[AspenRose]

37. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I wouldn't appreciate that and neither would Bill Richardson!!!!

Besides, the Hispanic Catholic flavor of this state would offend their racist, neo-Con-Fundamentalist sensibilities. And Santa Fe has the 2nd highest number of gay and lesbian couples in the country.

Pick another state!

[asterisk]

43. ah here is a state

how about Utah, its flat, hot, dry, and most of all i would love to see them with the Mormons :P

[asterisk]

45. ah hereis a state

how about Utah, its flat, hot, dry, and most of all i would love to see them with the Mormons :P

[LynneSin]

30. Here's a picture of the future First Lady of their new country

[Rabrrrrrr]

48. She's going to be a cat?

Or do you mean, by not placing in an image, that there will be no future first lady of that countrY?

[boobooday]

One big freak show.

38. Preferably somewhere around Yucca Mountain

Might do some good? :shrug:

54. The sun!!!

At least its warm

[liberalhistorian]

58. Hey, people, NOT ALL

CHRISTIANS ARE LIKE THE FUNDIES! I'm a liberal Christian with a strong faith who's very involved in my church and I resent these Taliban fundies as much as you do. They can all move to hell for all I care. But they are NOT TRUE CHRISTIANS! They have hijacked and twisted and distorted Christianity beyond recognition, and it makes me sick to see it.

Please, though, PLEASE do NOT lump ALL Christians in with these people. I guarantee that they do NOT represent the majority of Christians in this country or anywhere else. I am not like them, and neither are any other Christians I know and associate with. So I think it's a little unfair to lump us all together.

[marzipanni]

61. Uh-oh maybe it's time to come up with a new name

for them to differentiate real Christians from...hmm "Neoxychristians"? perhaps.

[Deja Q]

59. Hypocrystan

If these "Christians" use Christmas trees, dyed eggs, chocolate bunnies, and such, they're following pagan rituals and are therefore NOT Christians!

Not to forget these Biblical quotes, which I doubt they keep in mind:


Ecclesiasticus 13:3-8 (1)

Ecclesiasticus 13:16, 18-23 (1)

Ecclesiasticus 20:1

1 Timothy 6:10 (money is the root of all evil)

Matthew 5:44

Matthew 7:1

Matthew 25:37-40

Luke 6:31

Luke 17:21


(1) The New Jerusalem Bible, Doubleday Publishing, 1989. This is the fun part about organized religion. So many people have translated the original texts in so many ways, no two versions are alike. Then there's the validity of the "original" text to consider...


In other words, they are faux Christians.

Just a suggestion....
