Agreement with logic and reason doesn't make going up one's ass. This is a terrible, unfunny joke, this post. How about instead of bringing up a ridiculous, impossible solution to gridlock, why don't you suggest to your party that they stop being so immovable on tax hikes for the rich?
Oh, because Rich people are Gods. My bad.
I am just curious. Would you feel the same way if the joke were aimed at conservatives? You state, "This is a terrible, unfunny joke", and you and Occupied seem to be offended by the OP, yet looking at your avatar, I have to believe that if it were aimed at conservatives, you would think it was hilarious.
And for the record, I'm with you on raising taxes on the rich. Ain't gonna happen because both parties are bought and paid for by those very people, but I think raising taxes on the rich and cutting spending across to board is the fastest way out of the predictament we have found ourselves in.

I for one explained in no uncertain terms early on that I find nothing funny about the subject of secession. On the subject of whiners packing up and going to some other country that more closely matches their ideology I am neutral.
Actually, secession doesn't really play into the scenario at all. It is simply a proposal to divide the country up. Personally, as I said early on, I think it is a terrible idea. But, it was supposed to be a joke. It failed and you didn't find it funny, but I believe most liberals would have found it extremely funny if someone like rdean had written it.
Generally, you are pretty reasonable. I don't know how you would have acted. But looking at CD's avatar, I would say it is a pretty good bet he/she would have thought it very funny.
