Yeah, that'd be smart, seeing as the majority of large military bases are
in the south :D
Exactly! Lots of places to launch attacks from. Glad you see it my way. :wink:

I would never want to go to war with those Coonasses. They scare me.

That's the problem with going to war with the South. Whereas the hicks of Georgia or Texas are about as heavily armed as the gangsters and mafiosos up here in the cities, our gun-crazy fucks can't actually hit anything. Plus everything between Philadelphia and Pittsburg would probably defect to Alabama.

Don't worry, the North can count on the Northwest (outside of major population centers like Seattle and Portland) to bail you out. There's some serious nutcases in the eastern regions of OR and WA, and nothing need be said about Idaho and Montana.

They'd rather overthrow the government since it's led by
the Jewish Pigdogs. :D

Hm? The last I heard the last attempt to amend the consititution that way in Massachussets failed.
Nope, scroll up a bit:
Col. Crackpot wrote: no it didn't. the legislature passed a constitutional ammendment and romney said he will sign it. all it needs now is voter approval in 2006. the ammendment would ban gay marriage and "legalize" "civil unions".

linky

if it can get enough votes in the general election remains to be seen, but support for a gay marriage ban in Mass has been steadily gaining strength since the issue was brought to the forefront of the public consciouness last year. it is well over 50% now an still trending upward. scaaaaary shit.
The good, enlightened, educated Northerners in Massachusetts seem about as anxious to prevent gay weddings as us ignorant, inbred, Georgia hicks. The Mass. Governor even said that he will seek a way to prevent gay marriages during the window between the court's deadline in May the final vote on the amendment.

Okay, we'll invade Massachesets, too. If it means more dead people it's okay with me.

HemlockGrey, completely off topic, but I absolutely love your sig. I haven't read that book in such a long time. It's probably due to distraction caused by the Hawley-Smoot Tariff.
