Its kind of like asking the republicans and the dummycrats to get together to get rid of the muslim!
Forgot to add, The Dummys voted in the Muslim.

What does the roman numeral 3 represent? I wouldn't think its the 3rd amendment, that covers housing soldiers.
Nice!

Three percent...doesn't take much to tip the scales. ...after all or entire military is less than one percent.

Don't Laugh I Saw a State trooper Write A long Island Transplant
To Upstate,,, a Ticket because he Had No Regular Inspection Sticker In the Windshield.
It Had A long Island Sticker Which Had Tighter Regulations, (before Emissions
Came into play)
State trooper Said Youre in NY Now ,,,,Not Long Island

Consider... Patriotism was for both sides much more about allegiance to community than even to state, not to mention allegiance to Richmond or Washington.
Consider... If we look back and honestly analyze the relationship of the north and south prior to the war it becomes fairly clear that the war was more about big business, taxation, and political power than anything else. The common soldier on either side was very little different from the other. Truth be told the average citizen, especially the country folk, would be difficult to distinguish between sides, except possibly for their accents.
Consider... Then as now political propaganda was the order of the day. A "good" politician (I sincerely doubt there is such an animal.) has the ability to foster hate. Without hate it's difficult to have a good war. And without war there's less money to be made or power to grab.
If we look at just the four points I've asked to be considered, we in both north and south will realize that I've only just touched the tip of our commonality. We on both sides were led into something that never should have been.
If today we all looked back and began to understand that the only real difference between those who fought under the Stars and Bars or Old Glory was mostly whether one wore blue or gray. Given any other situation than a war promoted by politicians the majority shared common backgrounds and would have made good neighbors and friends.
Isn't it about time we realized that the majority of us always rode together? Isn't it about time we understood that we foolishly fought with and killed each other while riding together? And isn't it about time we from both north and south realized that our politicians are still playing the same old game that somehow convinced us that we were ever enemies?
My roots are in the north. I, however, deeply respect and honor those whose roots are in the south. The Stars and Bars honor a proud history and are not a flag of hatred even though sometimes abused by those who do hate. We really should take "This time we ride Together" to heart and understand that we always have.
Nothing? No industry, nothing but anti-gun nuts, and a rust belt? Who needs em.
CooL graphic though.
You're absolutely incorrect. We have an abundance of citified liberals mixed with a bumper crop of welfare bums up here. We don't want your .22's as we'd be more than happy to trade both our bums and our .22's (if you'd take 'em) for their absence. Understand... We like our .22's but if this is the price to be paid for ridding ourselves of the leaches, then we're all in!
Of course what you do with either the bums or the .22's we deport will be of little interest to us once accomplished. Just let us know where to ship. Anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon line will be just fine.[:D] Oh... And being a civilized people we'll transport in air conditioned buses.[;)]
I like it. It will be the US government against every one.
sorry if i am pessimistic about this great idea, No I mean it is a great idea,
but there would never be enough for this, I am afraid there would be many deaths and then it would be worse for everyone left......
you think someone with lots of money big houses, dozens of cars/motorcycles, beach and mountain homes is gonna give up that lifestyle
there are some but not many
Obama is gonna see that this country comes down before he leaves...wait aand see, and if something were to happen to him, you have martial law within 15 minutes,
Thats why i hope he makes it his whole term
