Turkeyslayer - as part of the anti-spam system we have here, new threads started by a member with few posts have to be approved first...

And not for New England, there would not be a United States. The history of this great country has been full of great push and pull between the states and the people of it - more of the same.

I also don't like where we are right now but think it is not too late. If GWB and the Repub party had not spent so much time tripping over its wank the past 8 years, Barrack "Hussein" Obama wouldn't be at the helm right now. "Hope" carried most of the middle of this country, McCain (who this middle voted for) did not.

If the republican party can exorcise its Optical Rectumitis in 4 years mayber there is chance for more balance.

It must really suck to hate your country so much that you'd give up a significant portion of it.

Besides, how will the right leaning states keep from going bankrupt w/o the money the left leaning states send them? I guess my overtime goes to those states It must suck knowing every time you drive on a new road, the people you hate helped pay for it.

I don't hate anyone. I don't start posts about people who have opposing political views to mine and suggest that they leave the country and my posts frequently express sympathy and concern for people less fortunate then me so I'm a little confused.

I doubt that "the people" paid alot more of any public project than me b/c I'm lucky and fortunate enough to make more $ and consequently pay more in taxes that the vast majority of the population (and I'm glad to do it b/c I love my country and don't plan on leaving or suggesting that anyone else leave)

Have you been to Lexington/Concord/Arlington lately? They are not the same New Englanders that fought for our country. Biggest bunch of pansies in the U.S.
