View Full Version : Really divide the country- what do you think would happen?

Just for fun, what do you think would happen if we divided up the U.S. into two halves: one half for true liberals, and one half for true conservatives? No moderates in my scenario.
For the sake of argument, it doesn't matter which half goes to which, as we try to make it essentially separate but equal.
The two halves operate independently. No money flows across to the other side. Neither side can come to the aid of the other, and the world knows this. Each side has its own laws, and own federal budget to spend as it sees fit, with no restrictions.
Given that, which half do you think would end up:
1. With the largest budget deficit?
2. With the most crime?
3. Attacked or invaded first by another country?

well the right half....would have guns, farms, churches, a military, big companies, jobs, and everyone would have to work...
the left side would have social programs, no guns, no military, no religion, free healthcare, no big evil companies, no walmarts, free drugs, free love, gay marriage, solar power, wind power, no gas stations, peta, hollywood, rosie odonell...there would be no reason to invade them they don't have anything worth taking...

Perhaps someone will invade just for proximity to the other half. ;)

You got it. Almost utter darkness, while the South is all lit up. It's really striking.
I'll see if I can find it.

"It is pretty obvious that South Korea is quite lit up at night while North Korea is quite dark. The biggest light is the Capital of South Korea, Seoul."

This is actually kind of amusing. I was at a message board where some liberal was calling for California to secede from the Union because it was the 5th largest economy in the world on its own.
Of course, if California ever did do such a thing, the economy would likely be destroyed overnight with companies and people fleeing away from the socialist government.

If only the Lord were gracious enough for such a thing to happen.

So far, so honest, in my honet opinion. If innuendo hurts, then it must be you the offending statement reflects.

Perhaps you should clearly identify which posters you deem to be idiots.
Or better yet, not name-call in the first place.
And no, I'm not hurt, but the thread already is.

The red side of course. The blue side would crucify him.

Well there would be a war eventually because the lib appeasement attitude would set up first a socialist state which would then be taken over by the muslims who would then try to invade the right's states. The left would all be dead or converted.

Pretty much what I was thinking, G.
My half would win.
The fools in the cities are concentrated, heavily. They need their comforts, period. As someone said: the rest of CA is red. It is a point. Those that tend to vote dem are softly cushioning up to their ultra soft "organic" down, fair trade, organic cotton, pillow while bemoaning the ills of the world. I lived in Walla Walla for about six years, and trust me, most of the people there make the backbone of this country. They may have high numbers in the cities, true, but, they are not the backbone of this country.
They are socialists. And coming from a family that at one point had to live on goverment food/money, I know. We got off as QUICK as we could. That is the difference with socialist/dems, they believe that should simply be provided, for as long as, well, as long as they say.....

The lib side will have a lack of funds for defense due to rampant social programs (i.e., welfare, univeral health care), an abundance of violent crime, 'anything goes' morals, aborting of their own offspring, general anti-military sentiment, fear of curtailing any rights even to ensure their own protection (i.e., profiling), and most of all, lack of will to even fight their enemies. All signs point to foreign occupation of the liberal half.
Our half, on the other hand, will have so much of the money we used to need for failed social programs and fighting crime, that we will be virtually impenetrable. And we could further boost our economy by meeting the demand for all those burqas and head wraps women in the other half will need after the Muslim takeover.
I know I said we should avoid discussion of particular geographic divisions, but on further reflection, I think we can make an exception, and give the libs New Orleans.

I vote to give the libs the southern half so they can embrace the illegals.
As for CA - divide down the middle - vertically - so the libs get LA, San Diego and SF - liberal havens!
I would have to move to Canada of course - I'm a moderate.:laugh2:
