You give him too much credit. He would not know what communism is, even if Marx and Engel rose from their graves and beat him, tag team style, with copies of The Communist Manifesto.

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.)

Okey dokey, Jimbo. We in CA are not the least bit worried. I think we'll live without your high fructose corn syrup.

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.

Canadians are stupid for failing to agree with the verbal vomit Jimbo spews? Fine: No more oil from us. We'll sell it to China, since they pretty much own America's nearly-bankrupt ass anyway.

California is a more liberal state..it also produces the largest amount of crops in the US...I think it would be in your best interest to not cut off those so called "liberal" states...

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.
