The "Loyal" Opposition

[Boreas]

Twenty-Five percent of registered Republicans want their state to secede from the Union.

Crazy people.

Let them go, good riddance.

The party of "patriotism" and "exceptionalism" sure doesn't seem very patriotic or exceptional. What a bunch of losers - literally.

And the first time they face a natural disaster, they will come asking for help.

Pick a nice land-locked state. Give it to them and tell them they can make it their own sovereign nation. Then cut off their funding, embargo any trade with them and refuse to let them travel on, over or under our soil. Sea ports only. We'll find out just how rugged and self-sufficient they are then.

I think secession is the right message for them to send if they are not willing to burn the flag. Somehow they need to communicate their frustration to Washington.

Hopefully the secessionists don't fly American flags. If they do then Washington can dismiss them as clueless loonies.

Oh once they figure out Social Security and Medicare are not coming with them they will come back....

Chris Christie (R-NJ) is indeed asking the Federal government to pay all costs associated with the Sandy clean-up in New Jersey.

What's the story on that? I heard a little blurb that the feds might agree to pay for cleanup provided that the seashore is allowed to return to nature and not redeveloped.
