Should the Freepers secede? |
|
And if they do go on to create Dumbfuckistan, what state do they get? The obvious choices would be Oklahoma or Utah. But then, where would we relocate all the good liberals who would have to move out to make room for the Looney Tunes?

1. They couldn't survive without the pork from the Fed |

they act all anti-govt but are first in line for whatever cash they can get their grubby little hands on. Look at the Fed aid to States map sometime vs. blue red state...

37. The kid will most likely be brainwashed by the age of 6 |
|
Don't expect reasonable from Wallace or any of their spawn. They start brainwashing very, VERY early. Wallace probably only used the story because he thought that would ingratiate himself with Obama. He's still a RW tool.

5. I think that if they have such a problem with the U.S., they should all get on a big boat and go to |
|
Africa.
So many of them over the years have been saying that if a certain demographic of American citizens is unhappy, they should do the same.
Now that they are so unhappy, they should take their own advice.

let them fight over the last scrap, the healthcare that they think we all should pay for, for an education, for all the things they don't want to pay for here in the United States of America......How long do you think it would take for them to figure it out?
Old Amish saying; "Many hands make light the work". Totally different than the world the freeps want.

They would always claim that if Bush was re-elected they would move. Nobody seems to have the guts to do it, right or left.

another family who went through the process to get visas for them to move to New Zealand. This third family were accepted, and I don't know the details of the visas, but they did spend 2 weeks in New Zealand to keep the visas active.

The panhandle of Idaho might be a good place, as long it is north of Sandpoint. Lots of White Supremacists up there. I drove though there one time and I felt like I had stepped into "Deliverance". Scary place.

24. TN is off limits. There are too many radioactive materials |

Edited on Wed Feb-11-09 08:56 PM by tnlefty
at facilities around the state, and left on their own with no supervision, would try to come up with a device to threaten everyone else with.
I remember some of them trying to defend DeLay over the abuses in the Mariana (sp?) Islands, so maybe they should go there to find work. :shrug:

33. I have no doubt that there are female freepers here. |
|
I'm more concerned with their being a threat to others because of the materials they would have access to.
Or perhaps with their warped gene pool they would only harm themselves before successfully putting a device together to harm others. I may have to re think this.:rofl:

And though there are probably some who could do that, the others would be going: "Let me do it! Let me do it! I saw it first!" And we know where that would lead.
Radioactive rashes all round.

Up in Sarah Palin's paradise Alaska. You know the island the Russkies own, plus they can be on guard to defend the country from Vlad Putin's big head.

There is an island in the south Pacific that is sinking due to rising oceans.
Maybe they might believe in global warming if they have to swim.

and once they're all there, we just sell the whole state to Russia, crazy people and all. We'd have to get a decent price though.

43. And thus lies the difficulty of Modern America... |
|
There is no more "frontier" for the dissatisfied to go to.
Used to be, if you were outcast or a misfit or needed a fresh start or just pissed at the world you could go to "the frontier". Used to be west of the Hudson. Then it was Pennsylvania or Tennessee. Now it's kinda gone. Even if you go to darkest, deepest Idaho, your cell phone will probably still work and there's a McDonald's a half hour away.
I'm sure the hardworking, welfare-adverse Freepers would relish the chance to survive on their skills, wits, and drive in free-market-paradise Iraq or Afghanistan.
