The mind, she boggles:
A few days ago, Jong, the author and self-described feminist, gave an interview to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, the choicest bits of which were brought to my attention by the reliably sharp-eyed Christian Rocca, the U.S. correspondent of Il Foglio, who published excerpts on his Camillo blog. Basically, Jong says her fear that Obama might lose the election has developed into an “obsession. A paralyzing terror. An anxious fever that keeps you awake at night.” She also says that her friends Jane Fonda and Naomi Wolf are extremely worried that Obama will be sabotaged by Republican dirty tricks, and that if an Obama loss indeed comes to pass, the result will be a second American Civil War.
…
“If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood will run in the streets, believe me. And it’s not a coincidence that President Bush recalled soldiers from Iraq for Dick Cheney to lead against American citizens in the streets.”
Does this cow even know how OLD Cheney is? Last I heard Dick Cheney was the Vice President of a bad heart, he ain’t leading anything but the charge to the glycerin pills.
Sweartagad, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Have these people always been this bugfuck insane, or is this year special in some way?
In the car this morning I had the thought that the idealogies of the two political parties in this country have seriously become so very opposed that maybe it’s just time for two separate countries. Really, the Leftards can have the Pacific coast, New England and fucking Colorado. Texas will, of course, take this opportunity to break off completely. The rest belongs to us non-crazy people, goddammit. Fuck with us at your peril.

I think I love you. I have been mulling over a potential post for DAYS, about how it’s just time to split the country in two. Let the leftists run theirs the way they want, and let us run ours the way we want. We compete. We see who wins.
My money is on the right (Texas).

Texas will be where we go to buy the really good ammo. Oh, and enchiladas. *drool*

My stepdad and I talked about this idea years ago over dinner. He’s a WWII vet, 73 now. He said “OK so our side gets all the ammo and guns and the military and a capitalistic system; we get the corporations and big business. We get the churches, private schools, etc.”
“THEIR side would be disarmed, have no corporations, no churches, natural foods only, etc. But they’d have lots and lots of government programs and public schools. They can’t have cars or industry (pollution) . . . ”
We went on and on, with all the issues. It sure sounded like a slam dunk for our side.

I think I like this idea. One prob though – I’m pretty sure my home state (NM), would sadly choose to be blue. Then again, this may just be due to the coincidence that I live in the most liberal of all liberal neighborhoods in Abq, so I’m visually assulted on a daily basis with all the feel-good, warm-fuzzy, koolaid-drinking, “gimme a welfare check and call it a tax cut” lefties.
Guess I’ll just have to move to Arizona.
