Nothing Succeeds Like Liberal Secession: Blue America Without Red America Would Be A Basket Case
Kurt Schlichter | Dec 15, 2014
The July 4, 2019, ceremony marking the final dissolution of the United States of America was quite amicable compared to the anger and bitterness of the preceding five years. The 2014 election results created a map clearly defining “Red America” and “Blue America,” and it sparked a debate, unlike any in the last 150 years, over whether the United States should remain united. For many in the leftist coastal states – their progressivism constrained by the overwhelming Congressional advantage of the conservative interior states – the answer was, “No.”
As liberal thought leader Michael Tomasky wrote of the South, “Practically the whole region has rejected nearly everything that’s good about this country and has become just one big nuclear waste site of choleric, and extremely racialized, resentment…. Forget about the whole fetid place. Write it off. Let the GOP have it and run it and turn it into Free-Market Jesus Paradise. The Democrats don’t need it anyway.”
Soon, it became an article of faith within the liberal elite that it was not only their party that did not need the rest of America. Blue America itself, they argued, did not need Red America, economically, intellectually or morally. It was not long until newly-elected Governor De Blasio of New York demanded a national convention to discuss a parting of the ways. The President, her health poor and her heart firmly with the Blue America, half-heartedly tried to stop the movement, but more and more high profile Democrat politicians joined the chorus. The President yielded and called for a “national conversation on the way forward as separate nations.” Red America, furious at her continuation of Barack Obama’s rule by decree and interference in its affairs, agreed to attend.
Two years later, President De Blasio, elected leader of the Democratic States of North America, and President Abbott of the Republic of America, stood together on the platform on the border at St. Louis to sign the Dissolution Pact. The countries split the national debt and apportioned federal assets, while agreeing to temporarily share the currency. They divided the military (along with all nuclear capabilities), but signed a mutual defense agreement. There would be free travel between and through the new nations. “We will remain good neighbors,” President De Blasio remarked, “Even if we are no longer brothers, sisters, or differently-gendered siblings.” President Abbott politely maintained a poker face.
Of course, back home in the Blue America’s capital, New York City, President De Blasio was less charitable. “We are no longer held back by the reactionary, racist policies of the past,” he thundered. “Together, we will build a new dawn of progress that places people before profits and promotes peace instead of perpetual war!” Blue America – New England and the mid-Atlantic seaboard, back through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, the West Coast and Hawaii, immediately set to drafting a new constitution. It featured 216 new affirmative rights, including “the right to a living wage,” “the right to abortion upon demand at government expense,” and “the right to define one’s own life experience in terms of race and gender.” Embarrassingly, the rights to free speech and the free exercise of religion did not make the leaked initial draft; they were hastily added, but there was no right to keep and bear arms. In fact, the first law the new People’s Assembly passed was to confiscate all privately-owned weapons. The second was to legalize all illegal aliens, and the third to triple welfare payments.
Red America reaffirmed the United States Constitution. Then the Congress began a review of all existing laws, statutes and regulations, repealing thousands of them. It also limited social spending dramatically, making known the expectation that able-bodied adults would support themselves and their families. The resulting non-military federal government in Red America was about one quarter the size of Blue America’s.
The world was unsure how to deal with the new reality. The international elite and its lapdog media quickly took to portraying Red America with the same kind of venom as Blue American liberals. President De Blasio was taped at a private confab at the United Nations – which remained in New York – telling the foreigners that Blue America, “feels a greater kinship to our progressive friends in Europe than those redneck, racist, Jesus freaks next door.”
Red America stopped paying its UN dues and sent John Bolton to be its ambassador. After Israel, Red America became the most investigated and censured of any UN member state.
Blue America had little use for the military it inherited. Though the Pact had stipulated that both new nations would maintain a certain level of combat readiness, in Blue America the services were first in line to be cut. Forced to meet America’s defense needs alone, Red America slashed non-military spending and instituted two years of mandatory military service for every citizen as the only way to meet the need for manpower.
Many left Red America, some to avoid the draft and a larger number to collect the enhanced welfare benefits Blue America was giving away. Yet, many more came in from Blue America. By casting off useless regulations and cutting taxes (Blue America’s “Fair Share Act” increased the top income tax rate to 74.5% on earnings over $250,000), Red America unleashed a whirlwind of economic activity. Red America, already prosperous, grew even richer.

Good read but it'd never work that way. Partially because if we were to do it right now, we'd still have problems with liberal influenced States, such as Texas, allowing border invaders to cross. Part of the cause would be the same encouragement from blue states that B.O. is handing out to the border invaders right now. We'd have a heck of a time paying to have the border invaders removed....unless we starved them on toward their blue state destination. Still, it would not work because the blue states would soon fall into a state of chaos due to their policies and, like hoards of zombies, would move in to TAKE what they feel is theirs. In that regard, we'd have invaders from our North, as well as from our South. WAR would be a certainty.
No, I do not believe a "friendly solution and peaceful parting of the ways" would ever happen to begin with. An all out civil war would be necessary cuz a you put it....too many from both sides would be looking to flee to their preferred political beliefs. Even in that case, way too many would refuse to give up their land and wealth....their farms and family. I wouldn't blame them a bit.
REVOLUTION, not civil war or a breaking away would be the outcome. What I fear most is that we'll all go down the drain together. That's what we're doing now. If we had a REAL leader or hopes of one.....we'd see many more Fergusons and that alone would ignite an unCivil War. The pain of weeding out the dependency of those addicted on drugs, welfare and power would be too great for them to tolerate and they've been TAKING for so long, they feel that it is their duty and RIGHT to TAKE and TAKE and TAKE. You would be forced to kill that kind.

Sheer commonsense offers a prognostication of where all that would lead.
The Right wing side would be driven by a sense of freedom and its people would be able to follow their human natures. Capitalism would thrive, enterprise rewarded from the fruits of its efforts. Though Big Government machinery might exist to step in under extreme situations making its intervention vital, for the most part it'd stay out of peoples' lives. Dynamism would be the order of the day, and that side of the divide would go from strength to strength, prospering to an unprecedented extent, unshackled by Leftie control-freaking analism.
On the side of the Left ... overweaning control would win out. The Leftie 'masters' would implement controls operating on two distinct levels ... one, preparation of the psychological environment so that, through State-run propaganda initiatives, how everyone would think would become pre-determined. The ordinary citizen's very perceptions of what constituted 'right-minded thinking' would be dictated to them, and in a manner that few would be even aware of.
Two - legislation would follow, following the supposed 'will' of the 'people'. It'd be draconian, it'd be suffocating in its nature, and intrusions into everyone's lives would be extreme .. all in the name of control.
Tax hikes would become commonplace, 'for the good of society'. Gun control would, eventually, reach British levels, with various circumventions of the Constitution (which the Leftie Government may have outlawed in any case) being circumvented. Capitalistic dynamism would slowly die a death. People might be convinced they were leading a life in which the Utopian 'benefits' of an ordered life would be properly realised, but, those benefits would, 'strangely', be forever out of reach. But, the illusory PROMISE of them would be forever perceived, rather like someone dangling an unreachable carrot in front of a donkey's nose ...
Indeed, the Democrats might like to amend their logo to depict exactly THAT ...
On the one side .. the joys of proper freedom, achievements being commonplace, and a happy and productive existence. On the other ... the illusion of a never-realised Utopia which everyone would be forever dreaming about. A sense of civic responsibility and civic standards drilled into you, but with no ultimately positive outcome resulting.
Freedom versus slavery .. in a nutshell.

So it wouldnt work, they = the cowards and ignorant bastards would drag us down or else force us to defend them!
And I'd rebel in a damn Minnesota second , about defending such son of a bitches!!!
As would millions. Let 'em rot!! And find out the truth of their insanity!! Get their damn just rewards...

First of all, what decides if a state is "red" or "blue?" Would there be a popular vote? Or perhaps decided by the per capita number of trailer parks or gun ownership? What would happen to those who identify as independent? Would they be deported?
You guys are beyond wacko sometimes. :cool:

....:laugh:So True Russ....Isn't that Interesting.... "How that works"
...Or....."...25 Examples Of What America Would Be Like If Everyone Was A Liberal"
"1) America's <nobr>credit rating (http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2012/08/28/25_examples_of_what_america_would_be_like_if_every one_was_a_liberal/page/full#)</nobr> would get so low that it would force President Dennis Kucinich to petition the UN for donations to pay for Social Security, Medicare, and his newly implemented 350 weeks of unemployment plan.
2) There wouldn't be a <nobr>Pledge (http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2012/08/28/25_examples_of_what_america_would_be_like_if_every one_was_a_liberal/page/full#)</nobr> of Allegiance said in schools, no one would sing the Star Spangled Banner before any sporting event, and no one would celebrate the 4th of July.
3) Gas would cost $9 a gallon (http://www.rightwingnews.com/john-hawkins/7-things-to-expect-if-obama-is-elected-to-a-second-term/). Liberals would consider this a plus because it would cause more people to get tax credits to buy government subsidized $40,000 electric cars.
4) Seven year olds would be able to vote (http://www.rightwingnews.com/liberals/matthew-yglesias-let-seven-year-olds-vote/). Free candy and endorsements from cartoon characters would become a staple of campaigning.
5) The corporate tax rate would be 15 percent higher, most American workers would be unionized and tax rates would soar. As a result, our economy would be stagnant and our unemployment rate would permanently be in the 10-20% range.
6) Prison sentences would be short, crime would be rampant, and the police would be so undermanned and tied down with regulations that they wouldn't evenbother to lock people up for committing crimes like burglary. (http://www.rightwingnews.com/uncategorized/britain-moves-toward-decriminalizing-burglary/).
7) There would be price controls (http://www.rightwingnews.com/interviews/10-questions-with-thomas-sowell-2/) on electricity, gasoline, and most <nobr>household (http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2012/08/28/25_examples_of_what_america_would_be_like_if_every one_was_a_liberal/page/full#)</nobr>goods. Of course, there would also be regular shortages of electricity, gasoline, and most household goods.
8) Children would be taught to be androgynous, gender-confused weirdos in school (http://www.rightwingnews.com/education/swedish-preschool-devoted-to-producing-androgynous-children/) rather than risk exposing them to "gender stereotypes."
9) Conservatism would be considered hate speech (http://www.rightwingnews.com/canada/canadian-conservative-party-passes-bill-to-repeal-law-banning-offensive-speech/) that could draw a massive fine or even jail time for repeat offenders.
10) The good news is that housing would be free. The bad news is that it would mostly be in ugly cement buildings with drug addicts, former homeless people, the severely mentally ill, and career criminals peppered all through the complex for the sake of "diversity."
11) Wearing a cross, mentioning the Bible, or advocating Christian beliefs anywhere outside of a church would be illegal because it might "offend people." (http://www.rightwingnews.com/religion/british-postal-service-refuses-to-deliver-offensive-christian-cds/)
12) Meat, 32 ounce sodas, and trans fats would be illegal. Crack, meth, and heroin would be legal.
13) America's military would be so weak we'd have to rely on Mexico and Canada to defend us from potential threats.
14) The Israelis would be driven into the sea, Taiwan would be swallowed by China, and Russia would begin to gobble up the countries that broke free after the Soviet Union fell.
15) Not only would partial birth abortions be legal, but a mother would be allowed to kill her child for three months after he’s born without penalty (http://www.rightwingnews.com/abortion/legalizing-fourth-trimester-abortion/).
16) Stopping <nobr>sex offenders (http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2012/08/28/25_examples_of_what_america_would_be_like_if_every one_was_a_liberal/page/full#)</nobr> from <nobr>teaching school (http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2012/08/28/25_examples_of_what_america_would_be_like_if_every one_was_a_liberal/page/full#)</nobr> or adopting children (http://www.rightwingnews.com/culture/british-report-not-letting-sex-criminals-adopt-children-is-discriminatory/) would be considered discriminatory.
17) Activists would be able to sue on behalf of individual plants and animals in court (http://www.rightwingnews.com/civil-rights/ecokooks-plants-should-be-able-to-sue/).
18) The government would control health care top-to-bottom. It would take six months to get an operation, which would be considered a feature, not a bugbecause a lot of old people would die in the interim and save the government money (http://www.rightwingnews.com/uncategorized/liberals-need-to-admit-that-socialized-medicine-means-letting-old-people-die-to-save-money/).
19) Only government employees would be able to legally own guns...."

Gabby, your comment is like someone watching The Wizard of Oz and saying "C'mon, I don't think that could ever happen". Of course it wouldn't happen that way, but the story makes a good analogy. The whole point is to contrast what a Blue America and a Red America might be like.
Red America would have lots of business people, military people, rednecks, and generally hard working people. It would have low taxes, small government, and not a lot of social programs, which is one reason it could keep taxes low.
Blue America would have great restaurants and incisively written, left-leaning sitcoms and drama shows. It would have no military, but would still have high taxes to pay for a "can't say no" attitude in Congress. But they wouldn't know who to raise the taxes on.
My guess is that Blue America would be conquered by someone like Albania within two weeks.

Sorry, but as a educated person, I have lost the ability to become as incredibly simple minded as you are.
If I am going to stoop to that level, I would prefer "Blue America" to be a place where no one owned guns. Or where racism and all forms of prejudice were not tolerated. Where every was equal, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity or religious preference.
In "Blue America," only Anglo Christians would be eligible for citizenship. All decisions would be made by wealthy adult males. Unless designated by social stature, every person over the age of 12 would work 12-hour days, six days a week, at a wage decided on by their employer. There would be no unions, no safety regulations and no compensation to anyone who became injured or otherwise unable to work. Any person unable or unwilling to work would be sent to debtor's prisons. A minimum of two years of military service would be required of all males reaching their 18th birthday.

Instead of looking at this emotionally, lets be pragmatic.
Blue States would have
80% of the country's fresh water
85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs
90 percent of the high tech industry
two-thirds of the tax revenue
Red States would have
The majority of the oil
Military bases
88% of all obese Americans and their projected health care costs
22% higher divorce rate
Highest rates for collecting disability
92% of the Mosquitoes in the US

There would be no unions, no safety regulations and no compensation to anyone who became injured or otherwise unable to work. Any person unable or unwilling to work would be sent to debtor's prisons. A minimum of two years of military service would be required of all males reaching their 18th birthday.
I have to keep adjusting to the transatlantic difference here ... where I'm from, blue = Conservative, red = Leftie (as in, 'reds under the bed').
No unions means they're not around to create havoc in society ! I should know, having seen JUST THAT, and in spades, in my own. We found that the more you curb them, the more of a chance society has to prosper. Dispensing with them altogether, therefore, sounds ideal to me !!
What 'social advances' needing to be made. HAVE been made, and are enshrined in law. So that one's done 'n' dusted ....
Compulsory military service ... interesting. Why ever not ? It could cure hooliganism, maybe overnight. At minimum, it'd add to state security, in an age when it was never more important.
Oh, by the way, Gabby, in our media, a stark difference between our societies is receiving media attention (I'm undecided about starting a thread on it !). Turns out that both America and the UK have issued official guidelines as to how to respond if you find yourself caught up in a terrorist situation. The British version tells people to .. 'Run, hide, tell' ... that's to say, this is how people 'should react' if actively caught up in a terrorist attack .. the emphasis being on - when there's a proper chance to - tell authorities what you know of the incident, and let THEM handle it.
The American version is different. Yours is .. 'Run, hide, FIGHT'. Your people teach confrontation towards terrorists, but here, the message is exactly the opposite. Now .. could that be because YOU have something to fight WITH, as in, citizens are altogether more likely to be armed, therefore ABLE to fight ???
Lefties in your part of the world (led to it by Obama, no doubt, if he ever had the chance of it) would disempower those would-be fighters, and let terrorists rampage around, killing when they'd otherwise be STOPPED.
Is this your idea of a brave new world (or Leftie America, anyway) ... disempowerment in the face of murderous terrorist aggression ? Do tell .....

Very true. If some of these so-called blue states didn't have a giant, rat Democrat infested population, they'd have nothing. There's nothing in IL but Chicago that isn't rural rednecks, but they control the state. You dump the coastal goofs out of CA and FL and you got nothing but rural rednecks.

Tell that one to Israel. A country with (so everyone believes is true, anyway) its own nuclear arsenal, easily the most weaponised State in that region.

Even despite ALL that, such is the hatred against them that terrorists still try their luck.

....But it was in the year 1999, according to the chronology of the Old Era-just 11 years after the birth of the Great One- that the dream of a White world finally became a certainty. And it was the sacrifice of the lives of uncounted thousands of brave men and women of the Organization during the preceding years which had kept that dream alive until its realization could no longer be denied . Among those uncounted thousands Earl Turner played no small part. He gained immortality for himself on that dark November day 106 years ago when he faithfully fulfilled his obligation to his race, to the Organization, and to the holy Order which had accepted him into its ranks. And in so doing he helped greatly to assure that his race would survive and prosper, that the Organization would achieve its worldwide political and military goals, and that the Order would spread its wise and benevolent rule over the earth for all time to come.

Another thing that's distressing here on this "Turner Diaries" chat is the lack of comments from others complaining bitterly and or even gently denouncing it's racism. (exceptions noted)
There are fiction books by minorities.. Jews, Asians, Blacks, Natives... that portray whites as all corrupt, devils or even an alien race sent to earth to destroy it. I suspect that someone actively promoting a book here that describes the genocide of the "white race" as .."one possible reaction" of minorities "getting fed up" or "one possibility" wouldn't be ignored.

Somehow I suspect there'd be some heated condemnation of the book, the author, the poster and the favored race in question.
Is this silence because folks don't want to offend Perianne and make her feel that her race based opinions are horrific? She's a big girl, I think she can take a bit of criticism on various points, right @Perianne (http://www.debatepolicy.com/member.php?u=2722)?
Or is Perianne speaking for the silent majority to some degree?
Or do we only complaint bitterly and point out racism ---even the smell of racism that we "know" is "really" under the surface-- when minorities do it?
Or what?

Another thing that's distressing here on this "Turner Diaries" chat is the lack of comments from others complaining bitterly and or even gently denouncing it's racism. (exceptions noted)
There are fiction books by minorities.. Jews, Asians, Blacks, Natives... that portray whites as all corrupt, devils or even an alien race sent to earth to destroy it. I suspect that someone actively promoting a book here that describes the genocide of the "white race" as .."one possible reaction to" minorities "getting fed up" or "one possibility" wouldn't be ignored.

I think it's the reality of not offending those in the majority right now. Anything said about civility is considered 'too pc' and attacking personally.
I do hope that those saying it will improve after elections are correct.
I find in the main that the inverse of something wrong is usually wrong also.

I think people ought to quit telling others what to say. How come blacks can dance down the street robbing and looting and rioting and not a peep out of you; yet, the second somebody calls them niggers people like you get offended? THEY CALL EACH OTHER NIGGER. But if WE do it, it's racist.
If you look like a black thug, act like a black thug ... you're a black thug. And you can replace "black" with whatever race, creed or color you want. A piece of shit smells the same regardless the label you attach to it.
I assume you don't live in the South where are those black folk feel entitled because their great-great-great grandparents were slaves, maybe, and they've had every opportunity and MORE than the rest of us have had since 1965? Like 50 years ago? Try living around these jungle monkeys and wetbacks. The only high-minded ideas I ever hear are from people that don't.
So sad to here of the poor oppressed white man who's not able to make racist comments without being call a racist.

Thanks for spelling my name correctly. revelarts
Sure, I can take criticism, as long as it's not about my hair or my looks. I am not promoting the book as the solution to the race problem. I only pointed to the book as one way of dividing the country as per the title of the thread. Nothing more. No attempts to offend anyone here.

One other option, Rev: Did you have no idea what the book was about and didn't bother to click on the link?
Yes, this book sounds objectionable and extremist.
