1. As quickly as possible actually! We would then need borders to keep them out |

of our country.
I honestly see a repeat of the civil war headed our way if something doesn't change, and soon.

9. Let them have the red states in the southeast |
|
We won't have to build borders because they are so paranoid they'll build them themselves. :)
We may have to rescue our liberal friends though.
Just kidding. No they shouldn't be allowed to secede. but I'm willing to buy them tickets to that libertarian paradise Somalia. :evilgrin:

17. Let them have nothing and like it. |
|
We could always send them to Bikini Atoll. Sunny during the day, sunny during the night.

8. I was thinking of the vast desert regions... |

And they can buy all their water from us, all their power, all their food, etc. I'm thinking twice the normal price is fair, don't you?
Edited to say... all the borders would be patrolled 24/7, and none of those damn illegals would be allowed into the USA! :D

They would start loving us because we are screwing them. They seem to like that.

Racial minorities may not fair very well in many parts of their Nation as well. Some of them may eventually get the money to move, but they would then have to separate themselves from their loved ones and careers.

Teabaggers and Freepers can certainly leave the country if they wish, and I wish they would, but they have no right to claim any lands belonging to the United States. The issue of secession is addressed in the Constitution and was settled with the Civil War.

18. Ding ding. We have a winner. |
|
We are speaking of people who cannot hold an argument and are deciding instead to pick up guns.
Can't tolerate this. Shouldn't tolerate this. Besides, having allowed them to secede, don't you think these people - especially these people - would quickly declare war against us?

7. It is my fervent wish that they should be given their own slab of mud somewhere to call their own |
|
So that they can turn on each other and wipe themselves from the face of the good Earth.

10. Stupid, stupid question |

What bullshit. What do you propose for the good people who live in the states you want to secede? Forcible relocation?
The batshit crazy is bad on BOTH sides of this whole Confederate History flap. BOTH sides. Wingnut right and moonbat left.

14. I Think The Question Is Part Tongue In Cheek |
|
In order to foment an insurrection it would require the Freepers to leave their parents' basements and the Teabaggers to wean themselves from their oxygen tanks.

I choose the Moon or Mars. I'm a little hesitant to suggest the moon, since it is so close, but since they would have to gaze at our wonderful blue marble all the time, it might remind them that we only let them have oxygen at our pleasure.
Edited to add, I've been being visited by Heinlein lately in my dreams. ;)

19. Great! More Resources |
|
for the rest of us! Consider them a separate independent country. No more social security, medicare, educational funding for them.
We should enforce strict border patrols and consider them illegals if they try to sneak in and send them to Guantanamo without due process.:D

but seize their assets and $$$ ... I mean, aren't they denouncing the Govt? Thus, they must have no use for American dollars ... but, of course, they say they're so good at capitalism, they'd probably take over the world, financially ...

41. Not as long as it's in the current borders of the US |
|
If they want to leave the country and can find someone to take their nutty asses in, sure. They don't deserve one speck of land in this country to call their sovreign nation.
(And for those making comments to give them Texas, Alaska, the South, etc. you do a grave injustice to all the Democrats in those states/regions).
