Mrs Gun Guy<\/a> recently had a poll,(update: results) and one of the questions referred to the gulf between liberals and conservatives. Little did I know (I really didn’t!) that that specific question was the crux of the poll! <\/p>\n

I have begun to think that the gulf may never be wide enough until it becomes a geographic one. There is a growing feeling among those I know that until we are rid of the worst of the liberals in this country, we will always have trouble. <\/p>\n

The idea of a new nation appeals to me. The idea of a separate nation of individuals, working together as individuals, with freedom of self the guiding principle. <\/p>\n

The country we’re living in will do. Yeah, the framers of the constitution had it right, it works fine, we just need to get rid of those who would destroy our constitution and what it stands for.

\nMostly, that seems to be the media. I don’t think the average American buys the crap most of the media puts out, but it’s so all pervasive and inundating that it seeps in regardless. I love Sean Hannity, but I cannot listen to his show, because his guests so infuriate me. I cannot believe anyone can be that stupid and live. <\/p>\n

I dream of an America based on the Jeffersonian ideal; I think, fairly often, of an America divided as it is now, but also with a geographical divide, a split between the jeffersonians and the morons. We could have the west, they could have the east, whatever. I’m sick to death of having those idiots rule me. I also don’t think that the welfare-state folks can be self sustaining without the money of the jeffersonians, and I’d LOVE to see that put to the test. <\/p>\n

Quebec has been trying to secede from Canada for a while now. I am sure there are a billion logistic obstacles to secession, but isn’t it a pretty dream? <\/p>\n

Join the debate. Invite others. Let me know what you think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
