Hey, if these sorry bastards are looking for a civil war, I'm sure we can accommodate them. Who owns all the guns?
Anyway, what would they do if they won? A parasite that kills it's host isn't going to live very long, either. If they lose they lose, and if they win they lose, too.
Face it, if every liberal left the country, you'd be left with a country of productive, self-sufficient people. If every conservative left the country, you'd have an instant third-world nation.

There are probably going to be MANY conservatives who think this is unwarranted. Have fun trying to sway such ones to your side...
Besides, what do you make of sharply-leftward-compared-to-the-United-States-at-large nations like France and the Netherlands? What are THEY supposed to be parasitizing? It's not likely us...
Since all of the moderates and liberals have already left the Republican party, you've got proof that the Republican party is definitely not filled with productive, self-sufficient people. Why would you think the country would be any different?

I have three words for you....
Kansas.
Texas.
Fail.
You know, I've always found it best not to generalize people in such broad, sweeping terms. Every liberal and conservative out there is an individual. You know, name calling and saying what you imagine would happen doesn't change the face of reality, right?
Well, hold it a second DevilsChaplain. Yes, Michelle is utterly stupid, we know, but don't sign off Texas just because it's frankly awful. Texas is one of the largest (admittedly behind California, but ahead of Wal-Mart) economic entities in the world. Beyond that of course, not a great place people wise.
@DevilsChaplain
Hey, I live in Kansas and, well, yeah you have a point. Anything outside of Johnson or Douglas county is pretty much Inbred Fundie Idiot Land.
Makes being a liberal atheist all the more fun though.
"Who owns all the guns?"
The government.
And don't forget those nasty scientists and their nasty air force, and nukes, guided rockets.
You can have all the guns you want but it won't save you from a smart bomb going faster than the speed of sound (therefore you won't hear it until it hits you).
"Face it, if every liberal left the country, you'd be left with a country of productive, self-sufficient people. If every conservative left the country, you'd have an instant third-world nation."
Yeah I mean just look at America's ultraconservative Bush years, America made a huge Current Account and Government budget surplus! Oh wait, they actually dug themselves into trillion dollar debt figures borrowing money from productive communist and socialist nations in Asia and Europe.
You want a productive country? Look at Germany which produces a massive current account surplus on the basis of strong industrial output and they're pretty lefty in Germany or perhaps China? A communist nation that produces more industrial output than any other nation on the planet.
Right now America is a parasite on this planet and it has a lot of work to do on climate change, its poorly regulated economy and getting itself out of costly wars before it can be judged "great" again.
"Who owns all the guns?"
The Goddamn Military, you idiot. And you know what? They've got the training, body armor, tanks, and attack helicopters to go with them. You go ahead and start your little ten-man rebellion, and see how long it is before you're tear-gassed and ventilated by your local SWAT team.
If every liberal left the country, you sorry conservatives would be starving and cold, start a war, ruin the planet and drive all humanity into a third-world condition. Conservatism is where most of the greed and militarism lies, liberalism harbors most of the brains.
Yeah, utopia here you go!
Protip: utopia means "no place", so yeah, screw you.
Hm,
if every conservative left the country, then level of education would immediately rise enormously.
You would also see the USA getting turned from the country we know today into a much freer country, where even minorities (like homosexuals) have certain basic rights recognized (like for example marrying the person they love).
Thanks to the crazy giun wielding portion of your society leaving the country (and perhaps the introduction of sane gun control laws) you would also have much less violent deaths from gunfire...
all in all America can only profit from all the conservatives leaving the country ;)
Sheesh, I'm British, but even I know that Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana aren't exactly the economic powerhouses of the US economy. You were saying?
"If every conservative left the country....."
*sigh*
We'd all have health care and affordable drug, housing, and gas prices (hell, we'd have all electric cars, for that matter).
Yeah, it would be awful.
Huh. It must be Opposite Day again. I wish my nieces would keep me up on these things, so I'd know when to expect this shit.
...fucking elementary school tactics...
Y'know, the Fundie use of the word 'Liberal" is as weird to me as the fact the Australian equivalent of the Republican Party calls itself the Liberal Party.
To me, the word invokes "Doing unto others as you would have them do unto you", "Live and let live", "it's a free country" and "To each their own".
Its hilarious to see Fundies diligently excluding themselves from these moral virtues. "We've got nothing to do with any of that pussy Christianity shit around here, we're Republicans!"
Who owns all the guns?
Oh I'm sure you have a nice supply of guns, providing you with ample fap'ing material but honestly, what damage do you think any of your guns might do to one of these:

I'll tell you how much damage, exactly none!
"A parasite that kills it's host isn't going to live very long, either"
How very true:

"Face it, if every liberal left the country, you'd be left with a country of productive, self-sufficient people"
Good luck when the oil in Saudi Arabia dries up, or one of your precious Repubican presidents doesn't kiss King Abdullah's arse enough. Or you fall behind in military R&D because those 'liberal' scientists aren't in the US any more. I'm sure China would pay them more for their knowhow. Oh, and one more thing...:
"Who owns all the guns?"
USA isn't the only country with a large regular army (China's is bigger), navy (all of Europe's & Russia's > USA's) & air force (again, EU & Russia). And USA isn't the only nuclear power, neither. Americentricism: proof of the right-wing's ultimate FAIL.
'Self-Sufficient'?! Without those 'Liberals', before long USA would become another North Korea. 'America, FUCK YEAH!' = Juche.
That's funny stuff, Michelle, You've got a career ahead of you with the "productive, self-sufficient" Republicans.
@ 1014317: My brother lived in Houston for years. He said a great many of the citizens are unbelievably ignorant, and it is the most violent place he's ever been.
If all the liberals left, the USA would sink like a stone. If all the conservatives left, same thing. Having half your population disappear (presumably with their money and property) would wreck your economy, you would have serious labour problems, and the loss of people would first cause a problem for your neighbours, as people flooded in, and then probably help their economies, since accomodating the new arrivals would bring up new business and it would mean a lot of money (and, in the case of liberals, probably a lot of educated professionals*) coming in. If not instant third-world nation, at least instant disaster for the US.
If you had a civil war (the good option) millions would die, and you would have an even chance of ending up with some kind of dictatorial government. Meanwhile your country suffers combat damage and the rest of the world surges past you. Alternately (the bad option) someone would bring nuclear weapons into it, and the same thing would happen, but more so.
* 1. Don't whine, it's true. There is a correlation between liberalism and higher education.
2. In the short term that could be a problem, but eventually it would probably help.
"Hey, if these sorry bastards are looking for a civil war, I'm sure we can accommodate them."
You're looking for a 'cival war' because the majority of America's against you. Kinda stupid of you, you'll lose.
Pay attention. As bad as it is most of America's against conservative/ Christian/racist rule. In that way America's a liberal country.
Liberal/ Conservative titles are like black/white comparisions. The shades of gray are the actual larger majority.
And the Liberal/ Conservative titles are open to interpretation which makes them abitrary in the end. In Canada the (liberals Actual party name) want the rich to not pay taxes, and in America liberals (Democrats) do.
In Canada the conservatives have (traditionally) cared more for the poor and inabled. In America the republicans (conservatives) couldn't care less
Yeah, you talk real tough but you really know deep down that you're not going to do anything. You and your militia buddies will sit around drinking cheap beer complaining about the evil liberals taking over the country and occasionally shooting at beer cans on a fence post. Then you'll go back on the internet and brag about how you just completed some paramilitary training and are ready for a war.
Who owns all the guns? That would be our socialized military, fool.
And if all the liberals left the country, you'd loose all those taxes the rich New Englanders pay so you and your gramma-daughter can kiss those welfare checks goodbye.
Seriously, you conservatives need to stop thinking you're the only ones who work. Equivocating one welfare fraud case to represent an entire spectrum of differing thought is dishonest to say the least. I know far more uneducated conservative arm-chair philosophisers who are either laid off or collecting welfare.
Is that right now? Actually, I think if every liberal left the country you'd be left with some fundie fascism. Political views do not and never will equal productivity, unless your political view is anarchy with a touch of "sit around on our asses and do nothing all day."
How about all the liberals AND conservatives kill eachother off, and those of us who don't care about hating eachother take over. Honestly, at least half of the people who comment on this site are just as fundamentalist as the posted comments.
I'm sick of fstdt being a breeding ground for fundamentalists laughing at eachother. Take a look in the mirror sometimes, guys.
Shhh...we keep telling them that if they send their kids to college, it'll turn 'em into liberal commie fags. Poor kids are innocent and deserve to go to school and get away from the hate.
Now, this whole civil war thing. It's traitorism plain and simple. True patriots stick around and intelligently try to change things if they think that the country is going in the wrong direction, not threaten kill thousands of people. These are murderous, hateful, ignorant bigots that can't handle an "Uppity Negro" as president. As for the politicians? They know exactly what they are doing in fanning the flames. Their political careers are at stake and they want to keep their free health care and pensions.
Oh, and by the way, my late husband was a hunter and gun enthusiast. I have a liberally well stocked arsenal in my home, thank you very much.
Translation:
Waaah! Waaah! nobody gives a damn what I think anymore, so I'm going to talk shit and pull facts from my ass to make myself feel smarter and more important than I actually am!
If every conservative up and left? Jeez - you know you won't, so why do you even say stuff like that? Why do you fucksticks have to tease me all the time?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
