DIVORCE AGREEMENT

American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, etc.

We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce..... I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course.

Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is a model separation agreement:

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.

Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.

You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell (You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).

We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.

We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood



You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us... You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.

We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values... You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain.

You can also have the U.N.. but we will no longer be paying the bill.

We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.

You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right. We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.

We'll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you Answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,

John J. Wall

Law Student and an American

P.S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Barbara Streisand, & Jane Fonda with you..

P. S. S. And we won't have to press 1 for English.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I'd happily take two oppressed, non-english speaking individuals from anywhere in the world who want to work for for freedom and prosperity and a better life for themselves and their children and send in exchange one Liberal Progressive who is searching for their Marxist Utopia and allow them to experiment elsewhere in an environment for more conducive to that which they desire...free shipping included!!....

I'd happily pay for his ticket if John Wall wants to move to Somalia. It must suck to have so much hate for your country that you want to split it in two. I bet he lives in one of those crappy red leaning mid-western or southern fly over states that have been dependant on the the blue states to keep them running. He's prob. goes to a public law school also that depends on gov't aide to keep it going.

I believe this is exactly what Obama and the democrats are currently doing....

are you more offended by a sarcastic article by someone in a crappy midwestern red state that doesn't want to see the ideaology that has bankrupted all of the blue states forced on him by the creeps that have taken over the federal government...or do you give any thought to what is actually taking place???

His point is that no states should depend on the Federal Government to be financially viable. And it would be easier for states to "survive" on their own if they were allowed to tax their citizens at the rate the Federal government does, and that might be possible if the the Federal only taxed for purposes for which the Constitution provides to it. Actually, blue states receive, overall, more Federal return than red states, it's just that the reds get more back per capita. And there are many factors involved in that redistribution, including which party is in power. Most of the stats available now are from the Bush years. Over the next four to eight or more years, those stats and redistribution patterns may change. Factors like age of population (medicare/social security) account for much of the money. Certainly, type of wealth generated (manufacturing vs. agriculture) is a factor, and changing patterns in those sectors may change the redistribution of Federal money--the eroding manufacturing base in blue states like Michigan and Ohio will create a greater poverty redistribution. Several of the blue states that used to be economic powerhouses are now in greater financial distress. Of the 8 states that had unemployment over 11%, seven voted blue. Of the 14 astates that had budgets that exceeded 20% of their G.D.P., 12 voted blue.

If blue-staters don't like this Federal redistribution scheme, it would seem to their benefit to get the Federal Government less involved in takeover of what should be State and private business.

I believe some blue states are now going to require a federal bailout because of their liberal spending. Is that fair????
