Cut & Re-deal, My Plan

Cut & Re-deal
A road to salvation

Cut and Deal

I joke about the Nobel Peace Prize a lot, because the NPP is a joke.  What it ought be awarded for is promoting ideas that save  lives, and advance peace; not for being the best anti-American American.  Someone like me.  I am not joking.  Someone like me; a man with a plan, who recognizes a coming maelstrom, and solutions it.

  The latest ObamaCare ruling, this time from a district judge in Washington, D.C., is here (PDF). Legally, it does not break new ground. Like the other Democratic-nominated judges to get the issue, she finds the health care mandate plenty justified by the Commerce Clause. The Republican-nominated judges to get the case found that it wasn't.

The split is one of worldview. For many Democrats the federal government's power is nearly unlimited or should be. That has been the foundational premise of almost all "progressive" litigation and a great deal of Democratic legislation, which seeks to impose solutions on backward individuals and states that just won't get with the program.  ACE- District Judge: The Federal Government Can Regulate Your Mindthoughts


All the warnings about Liberals Balkanizing the United States have by now come to fruition.  Under our new theocracy (statism is the left's religion), only the facade of a federal republic remains.

For instance, in the United States' effectively tricameral system, it takes a substantial political consensus of the House, Senate, and President to pass a law, including a law repealing an international human rights norm. The Free Dictionary

That may have been true at one time, and was almost certainly the founders vision, despite creating three branches of government, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.  As smart as they were, and they were very smart, and deliberative, they were unable to conjure a judicial branch that ate the other two.  But there you have it; it's where we're at.  Our motto today is more accurately  E Pluribus Gaggle. To sum up, at least half of us wouldn't piss on Obama to see the splash (with Obama standing for all American "Progressives,").  We are facing one of two scenarios; civil war, or the expulsion of some states. Yes, I've talked this walk before, but this is where I break new ground.

The new United States do  not have to be contiguous!  Now it's easy.  We don't hate Massachusettsians (Ahem); we just don't want any of them having a say in our law making; and vice versa.  We can maintain common borders, but not a common government.  Nor a  common currency, what with theirs being worthless.  The surviving United States will be a federal republic, but a confederation - where the states maintain the sovereignty, which, again, was clearly the original intent..  We can continue to enjoy the good parts of each other, but not a shared governance.  Vie for tourist dollars, etc.  You want a Nancy Pelosi?  No skin off our backs, but beware - we don't  give foreign aid.  No lives lost.  Happiness all around. You're welcome, your applause means everything a lot.  Ahem.

Can you figure out a way where we just boot cities? I'd like to keep all of California except the bay area and LA.

Nope. Cut the state in half.

I've been thinking about this concept of not seceding but just kicking the areas of the country out of the union that don't recognize the US Constitution as saying what it says. Any area that has leadership that says the Constitution is a "living document" needs to go. Cutting of Federal funds would probably on a case by case basis would probably work but just tossing them out does that and more. If the rent seekers and other cockroaches can't get a free ride they'll move out because they can't live without hand outs. If they were stopped at the borders and denined access they'd either have to go to work or die. Gee that sounds kind of like what we should do with our present borders....Nevermind.

This is confusing. I though Democrats, Communists, and Frenchies were the ones who have constantly tried to weaken America by pushing for secession.

Oh wait … you're the King of France. Never mind. These are trying times.

Allow individual counties to secede and form new states. Set a reasonable population minimum.

I'm sure Illinois would like to secede from Chicagoland, as much as Oregon and Washington would like to secede from the Willamette valley and Puget Sound.

If the libtards can walk away from us, we should be able to walk away from them.

Let's not coin new unnecessary words. The correct term for a person from the state of Massachusetts is "Masshole." Very simple. BTW, the proper name for a person from Connecticut is "Connecticunt," whether they are male, female, or "other." Also, a Rhode Islander is correctly referred to as a "Fucking Douchbag."

Having lived in the tri-state area for more than twenty miserable years, I learned more than I care for about New Englanders. Can we make Olde England take 'em back?

Thanks for the fun tongue-in-cheek scenario -- too bad it couldn't work, *sigh*. Eg, who issues your grandma's Social Security check?
Business contracts between non-aligned states would require a "trans-national" judiciary, etc, etc.

Nevah mind... I'm ready to try anything at this point.

Just turn back the clock on federalism. The war between the states is over, Lincoln won. He can stop fighting now.

We can now roll back his emergency measures and go back to a swiss style confederation.

States should just determine to abolish the 16th and 17th amendment as unconstitional to the states. States determine who the senator should be to represent their state's interests. States should install a consumer tax of 18% with half for the state and half for the federal (for the sole purpose of paying off the debt and stabilizing the economy. The amount to the feds should be reduced by 10% for the next 8years, then balanced budget. Take the power away from Washington. 50 state experiments with people voting with their feet.
