DallasFirefly,
Looking at those 'horrible socialist' blue states and the 'right thinking' red states, it turns out that the blue states pay more to the federal system than they get, while the red states get more than they pay. Perhaps that's why AnthonyT doesn't want secession - he knows which side his bread is buttered on.
Nearly everything I know I learned by the grace of others.
Excellent point. We must visit some of the same sites. I'm not saying this has anything to do with AnthonyT's post since he seems like a reasonable, independent thinker, but it is true that red states receive more money from the federal government than they pay in federal taxes. Hilarious given that red states take great pride in being self reliant and moan about welfare states. The big bad blue states of New York and California pay far more to the government than they receive from it. I'd like to point out that I like plenty of Texans, after all I've been here my entire life. There are good Southerners, they just happen to be outnumbered badly by the book burners and Falwell followers.
I wanna be Mr. Baccarin!

DallasFirefly,
Nearly all of my US time is divided between the two largest blue states, NY and CA. And my non-US time is Ontario, Canada.
I too have known many fine Southerners, as well as many, ah - less than fine - 'blue staters'.
Nearly everything I know I learned by the grace of others.

"The South is the least of the US and continues to drag it down politically, culturally, and economically. Do you seriously think the right wingers would have any power in this country if not for the South? And frankly the average southerner would be better represented by a Southern government than by the federal government in Washington DC. Free trade, open borders, easy immigration, and a mutual defense treaty between the two nations would make a split between the South and the US amiable and tolerable for it's citizens. After the split anyone wanting to live in the Southern Theocracy could stay, and those wanting to live in a free nation could emigrate to the US. Seems not only workable but fair to me. I sense that you realize that life in an independent South wouldn't be free, which is exactly why the South and the rest of the nation should split. The US has been held down by the knuckledraggers of the South for far too long."
Sillyness, really. I care about my rights, and it is only in a balance of North and South, Red and Blue, that they are preserved.
Reds want to protect my conservative rights and trample my liberal ones, and Blues want to protect my liberal rights and trample my conservative ones. The US is only free with both. Or, at least freer with both than with only one or the other.
Also, the contention that the South provides nothing useful economically to the North seems false to me, based more on an apparent personal indignation towards the South than anything material. Insulting terms such as 'knuckledraggers' are hardly constructive, but rather revealing of your lattitudinal prejudice.

The only "conservative right" the right wingers preserve is the right to own firearms. you're kidding yourself if you think they protect any other right. That's why there is only one single issue conservative group of any size, the NRA. It's hardly silly to believe that a US without the southern states would be more free and open. With the exception of the 2nd Amendment liberals fight for freedom, not against it. If you haven't noticed, the constant assault on the other amendments comes from the right, not from the left. One tiring tactic of people who argue on forums about politics is to take a statement and twist it to an extreme. First, if you doubt that their are large numbers of knuckledraggers in the south, then take a trip to little podunk towns in East Texas, or Mississippi, or Alabama, or anywhere else in the south. Perhaps I should refer to you as "Saint Anthony of the Rose Colored Glasses" because no one who has lived in and traveled through the southern states would argue with me about the vast number of knuckledraggers (or troglodytes if you prefer) unless they look at people in a highly unrealistic way. I do love the way you hide behind your faux populism though, it's charming, it really is. I look at people and see what they are, not what I would like them to be. If they are backward, ignorant morons, then that's what I see. Am I prejudiced against the South, you bet I am, but that doesn't make me wrong about it, it just means that I accpet the reality of what the South is. You grossly exaggerate when you claim I say that the south makes no useful contribution to the US economically. Clearly the south does contribute to the US economy, it simply doesn't put in as much as it takes out. The south takes more then it gives, in terms of federal money. That point isn't debatable, it's fact. The South is more conservative politically than most of the rest of the nation, also fact. The southern states always have the lowest graduation rates and aptitude scores, while at the same time having the highest illiteracy rates, poverty rates, and teen pregnancy rates. The south has always been the poorest, most ignorant region of the nation. All facts, based on poverty and education stats.

Dallas, the more you talk the less convincing you become.
I've actually spent a lot of time in both the North and the South. I currently live in PA near Philadelphia, and I can't even count the number of low-life scum I come across every day. The presence of "knuckle-draggers" is certainly not limited to the South, and I dare say you need to spend a little more time outside of your confined little zones in CA and NY, because it's rapidly becoming clear that you have no idea what the hell you are talking about.
Yeah, the "blue state," liberal economic mentality has worked wonders here in Philadelphia, creating a vast underclass of dependent citizens continually exploited by liberal politicians. The worst thing about liberal economics, aside from the fact that in operation it's a complete failure, is that it effectively operates as soft racism. It's ironic that while you bash Southerners in one breath (whom I personally don't think you've even really met), you support crippling economic programs that result in failing cities like Philadelphia and New Orleans (which are both the result of decade of liberal "leadership"). As much as I abhor prejudice and racism, I think people like you are ultimately worse because of your hypocrisy. On a related note, I am continually astonished at how self-proclaimed "tolerant" and "open-minded" individuals suddenly throw all of that out the window the second they deem in their own minds that someone else is close-minded or intolerant. That is the epitome of hypocrisy Dallas, and you appear to exemplify it to a tee.
As to what rights are "under attack," you really need to do some reading on the subject if you really believe that the right only supports the 2nd Amendment. If you had even a cursory working knowledge of constitutional law history, you'd know better. Obviously, you don't.
"I've come to a realization, people are simply different and drastically different people will never agree with each other and will always fight each other. It's unfair imo to continue putting the US and it's people through this war of political attrition."
Wow. You REALLY need to go back and read what the Founders thought about this topic. They purposely wanted some measure of political gridlock so that the federal government would not become overly powerful. People like you always fail to grasp this simple point. Your "realization" is anti-thetical to one of the prime tenants of our enture system of government as envisioned by those who actually wrote the Constitution you are now attempting to use (and failing quite miserably) to support your argument.

The more you speak Hayward the more you show yourself to be a fool, with a poor grasp of the real world.
Yes Hayward Liberals are evil racists who exploit the poor and the blue states have the worst economies.
Maybe you and PirateNews can get together, you'll have a whale of a time.
Then everyone else can get back to reality yeah.

Apparently Hayward is too ignorant of US geography to realize that Dallas is in Texas, not California or NY. He's also too ignorant to actually read posts in their entirety before responding to them, if he had he would have noticed that I am from Texas, and have lived here my entire life. I only mentioned that three or four times in previous posts in this thread. That sort of selective ignorance is typical of Republicans though, they see what they want and ignore everything else. That's how the majority of Repubs can still think Bush is doing a good job in the face of all evidence to the contrary.
As to your childish argument that our political system was designed to be in perpetual gridlock, you are simply wrong. Perhaps you should have paid more attention in government class. Our federal system was designed to provide checks and balances to each branch of government so that no one branch would become dominant and tyrannical. That does not mean that the founders meant for the government to be bitterly divided and inefficient. No one designs a system to not work. The problem is that over the years political parties have become more and more partisan and the nation has become more divided politically along regional lines. This is not what the founding fathers intended, they didn't create political parties and many of them specifically did not want political parties in our country, though they couldn't forbid them. Political parties as we know them today didn't develop until well after the writing of the Constitution.
As far as your claim that "tolerant" people shouldn't become intolerant when confronted with intolerant people, well that's just silly. Should the civil rights activists have simply tolerated the Ku Klux Klan? Should the female suffrage movement (activists who pushed to give women the vote) have simply turned the other cheek when they were spat on and attacked by the scum who believed that women weren't good enough to vote? Sorry but your argument is absurd, it isn't hypocritical to despise intolerant people. By your argument good, tolerant people should simply ignore the racists, sexists, and religious extremists in our society. I'm sure that's a Republican wet dream but it won't happen, not any longer at least. Liberals in this country are fed up with seeing their rights trampled on and witnessing their nation being turned into a police/corporate state. No more turning the other cheek for us, we're hitting back. Liberals were punching bags for conservatives for so long (since the late 60's) that conservatives are now shocked when liberals actually fight back. Conservatives seem to think it's rude for liberals to stand up for themselves and what they believe in. That is hypocritical given how relentlessly aggressive conservatives have been for the last five decades.
As to my original point that the US would better off separating along the Mason-Dixon Line, thanks for making my argument for me Hayward. If we could put all of the intractable fools like you in the South, the rest of us could go on with our lives with much less stress and we would waste much less time fighting with people who frankly would have been better off having lived 200 years ago, or at least living in Cuba or China today. And yes, blue state economies are better off overall than red state economies, their poverty rates are lower, their graduation rates and test scores are higher, their high school dropout rates and teen pregnancy rates are lower. The middle class (defined by income tax returns) is also larger in blue states, destroying your ridiculous argument that blue states survive by creating a vast underclass to oppress. Of course there are poor people in blue states, but the percentage is always higher in red states. In case anyone wonders, the gap between rich and poor in this country increases during each Republican administration, and decreases during each Democratic administration. Their are many reasons why this is the case, here are some of the highlights. Republicans cut taxes for upper income people, while at the

As I was prepared to crossexamine the cop in my jury trial, before it was dismissed, illegal aliens in Tennessee are never deported. In fact, TN Highway Patrol sold 250,000 driver licenses to illegal aliens, without attempting to arrest them.
So now Jr Bush compares all speeders to illegal aliens. Now traffic cops summarly execute 500 speeders a year (including 1/3rd innocent bystanders), but ignore the illegal aliens.

White House compares illegal immigration to speeding
Bill Sammon
The Examiner
May 26, 2006
WASHINGTON - The White House on Friday said a Senate bill that would grant legal status to illegal immigrants is analogous to a traffic law that allows a speeder to pay a fine and continue driving.
"If you had a traffic ticket and you paid it, you're not forever a speeder, are you?" White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said in response to questions from The Examiner.
"So the fact is, you have paid your debt to society," he added. "And we have come up with a way to make sure that the debt to society gets paid. Then you move forward."
The "traffic ticket" analogy raised eyebrows on Capitol Hill, where many House Republicans regard illegal immigration as a grave crime.
"I don't know if Tony meant to trivialize it or not," said Will Adams, spokesman for Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. "But it's certainly misleading."
"The penalty for a speeding ticket is a fine," he added. "The penalty for being here illegally is being removed from this country. But the president doesn't want illegal aliens to go home."

What Bush is implying is that speeding tickets are CIVIL breach of driver license contract, not crimes subject to arrest.
