It would be absolutely wonderful if all liberals could be segregated from all conservatives each in different states and then splitting the nation into two. the liberals would not be able to continue for more than a MONTH! they wouldn't be producing anything! LOL. they would be like homosexuals trying to survive past one generation! with about 80% of liberals on the govt dole, they would begin rioting within a month! LOOOL.
