And so the split begins - Texas, California, Greater Idaho, ETC...How about Michiana?

If Weld got to jump to Wyoming, Moffet county would be close behind.

Summit and Park County would probably declare themselves sovereign at that point. The world's laws don't really apply in the high country and the folks up there know it.

Wouldn't it be better if the awesome flat part of indiana joined up with the super cool flat part of Illinois and the dirty hillbillies from the southern parts of both states had to somehow make a state and survive on their own? I think that would be the way to go.

Southern IL does have some great towns and people. Grew up there and still have family there. Flatlanders just wouldn't understand. That said, Kentucky does start well before you cross the Ohio River...

Report: 5 Ore. counties vote on leaving state, residents want to detach from deep blue state and join Greater Idaho

Far left laws and a lack of representation for rural voters pushed five Oregon counties to vote on initiatives to detach from the blue state and join the bordering red state of Idaho. The initiative, known as Move Oregon's Borders, confirmed Tuesday that the push to extend Idaho's lines into...

Both Kokomo and Wabash have more in common with Kentucky, than they do with Indiana.

Can we give Lake county to Illinois?

Only if we can give Cook (Crook?) County to the Lake.

Can we give Lake county to Illinois?

NO NO NO, Or at least separate North and South Lake and give North lake to IL.

Excellent find BRed
In "Most Likely to Secede," Rob Williams introduces Vermont's secession movement. Mr. Williams writes that "the US is no longer a self-governing republic responsive to the needs of its citizens but an uncontrollable Empire governed by an unholy alliance of corporations and the federal government..."

All of the essays discuss various aspects of the growing federal government and generally conclude that secession is a real check on central power. The word "secession" is rare in modern American political discourse and usually scorned when mentioned, but one point from Prof. DeRosa's essay should give pause to the scorners: it's no coincidence that Lincoln secured central government subsidy to the greatest corporate interest in America in 1862, after effective opposition to a centralized corporatist state left the federal government.

If you're going to change the state boundary lines why not rethink the county lines too. Just take a look at the voting map and you can cut out the blue dots and make them their own state...maybe named Hell. The rest of the red map will do just fine without them and they will become a rendition on Escape from NY in short order.

We'll definitely be needing some border walls though.

Everybody should study and then visit DC, paying attention to the symbols, the markings, the details, the messages.

Heard that congress was trying to put through legislation to remove districting from the hands of the states. Hell is probably the intent.

Can we give Lake county to Illinois?

That would not be fair to the state counties outside of cook & dupage.

I think cook, dupage and lake counties become one state and we combine the rest of Illinois and Indiana into another state.

Can we request that our alien overlords nuke Springfield, IL? One state capitol is enough for this proposed superstate.

We would definitely have some major renovation that takes place. We can support this renovation by putting together a new TV show, instead of "This Old House" we call it "This Old Springfield". We can legally evict the current occupiers and renovate the deplorable buildings.

While were cleaning things up, we elect a better governor.

Found the yearbook picture of the IL governor.

I'd say that in today's bs environment that using the descriptor "hillbillies" is no different than using the N word. The Webster dictionary did define a hillbilly as a Michigan dirt farmer, I wear it proudly.

I would say they are different . Hmmmm

Since some blacks seem to have no problem using the N word every 30 seconds it carries little weight with me. I can't remember ever calling anyone a hillbilly, maybe it's worse?

Give Cook County to the Lake? As in Lake Michigan? With enough Rome plows, could be done...

Are we talking about just redrawing State lines, or actual new nations?
