Fuck the South
I'm supposed to apologize for posting this, but screw it, I think it's hysterical. Misguided and ignorant, but hysterical.
That's right up there with this gem:

Hey, the red states would love to go in peace! Just think what would happen! After the red states had instituted their own laws, you'd see about a third of the blue state population and most of Alberta move to the red states. No more affirmative action means the blue states instantly get browner, because most of the minorities in the red states move to the blue states. Tough immigration laws in red states means blue states get the expense of keeping illegals. No protection for fags means you blue states keep ALL of those fudge packers. An end to government control over education means all the brains flow southward where they can get a good education. And, of course, extremely low taxes means that most of the productive businesses in the northern hemisphere will be located in the red states. I'm also guessing that red states will encourage very selective immigration from European countries and thus drain that fetid socialist cesspool of its remaining brains.
AND...The red states possess 75 percent of the military bases in the USA. They hold 80 percent of the nuclear weapons along with the main source of producing fissile material. Red states also have the largest naval and air bases. Well over half of the present officer corps throughout the US armed forces are Southerners (God knows how many are from red states).
And finally...we'll have the best ski resorts in the country!!!!!
Quick! Where do we sign?
:-))))
There are so many things wrong with that analysis...oh, why bother? I'll let Kegz handle this.
I'm not gonna bother wasting cycles responding to that sack of crap comment, Reed. Ray is clearly not embarrassed by his racism or homophobia, nor looking for a real discussion. His post is as misguided and ignorant as the "Fuck the South" page, but not very funny, and certainly not hysterical.
Recondite, kegz. That's what you are...recondite. (Don't forget to send those secession documents soon. Overnight them. It's on me.)
I've probably written a couple hundred thousand words on this site in posts and comments over the last 18 months and I'm unclear or hiding something?
What do we know about you, Ray? Beyond the shiny vocab, that is.
You know I'm dead serious on taking you up on that secession offer mentioned in your blog. You could do 150 million Americans a favor and talk up this secession idea among your blue state buddies. Like Delta says: "We're ready when you are."
I'll spell this out for you. I didn't write the "Fuck the South" page. I linked to it because it is a funny rant. Sometimes, that's what I do here. And if you look here...

you'll see lots and lots of other bloggers do the same shtick.
Later, Ray. I think we're done here.
