Should We Explain Farm Subsidies?
While we’re at it, I say we should quit letting the Scum fly over the fly-over states. Make the scum go around through their beloved Mexicans or their stupid socialist Canadians.
And make the lazy worthless socialist bastards grow their own damned food, too! Put up check points: No more produce trucks from the Free States into the Communist Pig States. QUIT FEEDING THE UNGRATEFUL LIBERAL IDIOTS!!!!!

OK then, we'll stop sending tax dollars to red states. You know, states in the south which get more from the government than they pay in tax dollars?
Again, what's with this idea that since Obama was reelected, the entire country (except red states, apparently) has become a nation of lazy, government-assistance-receiving bums? Don't tell me that there's not any racism behind it.
I live in Florida, we went blue, and we can grow everything we need to eat right here, thank you. Don't expect another orange, but I've grown some fine, spiny cucumbers you might have a use for.
And Canada will stop supplying the USA with wheat, fresh water, electricity, timber, oil, gold, and iron. Seems fair.
And when the well of political support had dried up for your precious Dumbya to get the go-ahead for invading Ira

"You wouldn't know Communism if a statue of Karl Marx fell on you."
There are those who would consider Karl Marx's grave in Highgate Cemetery here in the UK as just another Communist Plot...:

@Mike Litoris:
That list changes around some if you use the '12 presidential numbers (e.g. Florida, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico all went Democratic). But your point still stands.
Since you worship capitalism, you should at least try to understand it: whoever has the most money wins. So long as the Communist Pig States have money, the Free States will sell their produce, or the Communist Pig States will buy food from other countries and the Free States will go broke.
You're not on top, Jimbo. You're on the bottom.
Now I really just want to see some socio economic think tank go ahead and make a virtual model of what would happen if these secessionistas got their way.
Even more, I would love to see someone develop a massively multiplayer game along the lines of this theme, with the structure based on said mathematical model.
Let's model for a peaceful division, just to keep it fun, although after establishment of the secessionista nation(s), war would be one of the allowable developments.

As a Californian I need to point out that a huge percentage of the produce consumed in this country are grown here in blue California. We'll grow our own food. You don't use our ports, watch TV or movies, study at our schools (no danger of you attending a school I suspect) and as your ToE-denying, science-shunning culture crumbles you can huddle in your mommy's basement and eat your shotgun.

For those of you saying that Florida "went blue" in this election:
The difference between the votes cast for Obama and Romney in FL were less than 1%. It was the same basic situation that prevailed in the 2000 presidential election; it was almost too close to call.
Florida isn't a red state. It isn't a blue state. It's a purple state .
So... we can get our wheat from Canada. It'll be a little tougher to make good cakes, but the bread will be epic. And we already have Iowa for corn (and arugula), and Florida for tomatoes and citrus, and California for damn near everything else. Oh, and, um, just a thing. Norfolk, VA went blue, as did Connecticut's second congressional district. I think you can figure out what that means without me explaining it to you.
Tracer:
Most of the major population centers save metro Jacksonville went Democratic, and the younger generation of Florida Cuban-Americans identifies far more with other Hispanic-Americans than they do pre-Castro Cuba. The trend is blue, and not even really over the long term; the fiasco Rick Scott turned the last election into isn't going to be quickly forgotten. As it is, Florida's already starting to look like California or New York; figure by 2016 or 2020 the urban and Hispanic votes will wind up dominating rural and suburban whites pretty consistently. (And I'll guess that Arizona will be in 2020 where Florida is now, and Texas not long after that.)
BrianX, you beat me to it. Florida has factually been blue since 92, any other color having been obtained by fear, force, fraud, or favor. But just to take care of the purple angle, no scuppernong grapes or Mysore raspberries, either.
It's amazing that the states that receive the most federal money are the ones who consistently vote against it.
I say give them what they want, cut them off completely, and see how long it takes for them to come crawling back to the government's teat.
Is it armchair psychology to point out that the vast majority of extremist Teabagger/Freeper types seem to be raging narcissists? They all have such unbelievably inflated opinions of themselves, actually stating with straight faces that they alone are the hard working geniuses sustaining everybody else in the world through the sweat of their brows even as evidence to the contrary rains all over them like volcanic ash.... And don't even get me started on their religious conviction, the part where they think that they are the only ones who will go to Heaven while everybody else burns in Hell.
Confused?
