Time for a Divorce!!!

Post by Red Dragon »

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives,socialists,Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a Divorce.

I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course.

Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is a model separation agreement:

· Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass, each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement.

· After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

· We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.

· You are welcome to the liberal judges and t he ACLU.

· Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.

· You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell (You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).

· We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street.

· You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens.

· We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.

· We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.

· You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.

· You can have the peaceniks and war protesters.

· When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.

· We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.

· You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain.

· You can also have the U.N., but we will no longer be paying the bill.

· We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and over sized luxury cars.

· You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.

· You can give everyone health care if you can find any practicing doctors.

· We'll continue to believe health care is a luxury and not a right.

· We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem.

· I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.

· We'll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot.

· Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree,just hit delete.

In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you ANWAR which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.


Sincerely,

John J. Wall
Law Student and an American

P.S. Also, please take Barbara Streisand & Jane Fonda with you.

I'd like to point out the last time a divorce was attempted after an election we ended up in a civil war. To prevent repeating such history, I suspect the divorce judge will insist on both sides sitting down with a mediator. Multiple motions for continuance will be filed and granted. I also have no doubt a gag order would be issued. This divorce could drag on forever....

Yep, civil war, I believe I have been saying that for awhile! I think the only reason the south lost the first one was because they were not industrialized like the north, that isn't the case anymore. How many other countries have civil wars? It's not like it can't happen, and history does repeat itself.

Another stanza...

Poor Dread Rag-on, master of the poo, still bitter, dejected, and can't buy a clue...


Out-voted, out-numbered, out-witted, but still - he rags-on, he rages, and rants like a shill...

Maybe out number and out voted, but certainly not out witted. 8) I wasn't foolish enough to drink the Kool-Aid, and I certainly saw the tax hikes coming a mile away! #-o

News today is that the credit market is tightening up, and everyone is having their credit card limits taken away completely or drastically reduced. My boss told me today that American Express took away his line of credit, and he has perfect credit! :shock:

That action started months ago, triggered by escalating credit defaults. The mega-banks are considered to be insolvent, and there's a mega-bailout in the works for FDIC too...

A shill is like a lure for conmen...they put out shills to bring unsuspecting victims to the con...a more modern term would be 'tool'.

The latest tightening of credit is above and beyong what they have been doing. They know massive amounts of people are about to default on their loans, Obama didn't stimulate everyone enough, and the empty promises won't come. So much for all the free stuff! :lol:

What you are describing as the "latest" tightening, started months ago in this region.

The foundation to your story was revealed in a January press release, but what's even more troubling, is the patent for card 'spychips' collecting location data by radio frequency tracking.

Could be an attempt to track card theft. I had my Visa card hacked a few months ago, somebody was out almost $900, and it wasn't me. :lol: I changed the way my accounts are used since, it will make it more difficult for the same thing to happen again. The banks have got to have a huge amount of fraud these days, you hear about it all the time.

It's made theft easier. There was also a press report some weeks ago concerning these spychips playing a profiling role in terms of cutting a consumer's line of credit.

I've heard about them tracking spending habits. If you use to shop at Macy's, and all of a sudden started shopping at Walmart, they will lower your credit limit, they figure you are in financial trouble because of the spending habit change.

The whole credit thing is really getting out of hand. Now they are lowering your credit score if you pay stuff off and don't assume more credit. Personally I would rather loan someone money that wasn't in hock up to their eyeballs. This is what happens when you feed the beast!

So if the parents get divorced who gets the kids (everyone who is not a democrat or republican). I get it. Conservatives can have the southeast, super-liberals the northeast. The kids who are in the middle can have the rest of the country? works for me.
Have a Chowfastic Day!!
