TWO
CENTS
 "Very
Red" Responds to "Very Blue"
Making our job very easy...
[Chris Field] 12/8/04
Two
weeks ago in this space, I shared with you a letter from "Very
Blue in Maryland" ("Two
Cents: Sometimes They Make It Easy," 11/22/04).
In it "Very Blue" spewed forth the typical Leftist lines about conservatives
and how liberals would be better off if indeed the country were actually split
into two nations -- one red, one blue.
He
(note that "Very Blue" is
a "he" -- not a "she" as
many of you supposed) wrote that the "blue" economy would "easily" be "several
times that of the Red States" and offered that after the Left took the
big, important cities, we right-wingers could "have the rest -- the
enormous, flat, square states, the South (PLEASE TAKE THE SOUTH! REALLY!),
and every
Wal-Mart, Denny's, Shoney's, and Winn-Dixie occupying every strip mall and
highway truck stop. (I once lived in a trailer in Texas when I was rather
young, and my mother, 'born-again' for a while, so I have some personal experience
in the South and its religious culture.)" He went on to note: "As
for Blue State agricultural needs, I assume the Red States would want some
trade if only to replace the tremendous loss of Blue State tax money that
supports the majority of Red States (with a few exceptions, such as Texas)."
Mr. "Blue," as
most of you know, had much more to say about the Right and what we could
do with our "fundamentalism." In fact, the ramblings
of "Very Blue" prompted tons responses from Wrap-Up readers.
(Proving my point that Left's utter lack of self-awareness makes the Right's
job a
lot easier. When liberals act to divide America, "normal" people
notice...and don't appreciate it.).
Here
is a sampling of what you had to say:
•••
Why
is it that so many "committed" liberals find it necessary
to hide behind "handles" such as Very Blue? BTW I applaud
his concept of division but I think he's ignoring a few basic realities.
For example, when
the 'split' occurs, we 'red types' will be taking our ownership percentage
of the stock markets, etc. Please also thank him for his excellence
both
in describing all us 'redneck Republicans' as Southern fundamentalists,
implying
we are uneducated and warning us of 'gas chambers' to come.
I
am grateful to him for being so all-knowing about so many things--especially
gas
chambers. So let's see just how right he is--I am Jewish (although
I rarely attend synagogue), I'm from New York, a graduate of top-notch
schools,
lived
in Europe for more than 12 years (I wasn't in the military but I was
on the Ladies' Committee of the London Philharmonic Orchestra if that
counts),
I
was divorced and returned to NY, where I had a pretty attractive career
and retired
shortly after writing my final check for tuition to Wellesley for my
youngest daughter. Oh, nearly forgot, I was raised as a knee-jerk liberal.
My sister
once proudly told me that she voted for Bill Clinton because he was
so good looking. Very Blue would love her--she's got a PhD.
from Columbia.
My brother
was the first to wake up, backing Goldwater while he was still at Harvard
Law. My Dad and I soon followed but, hey, Blue might be right about
the other 59
million-plus redneck Republicans.
Please
let him know that his removal to Canada is so attractive I'll
pay his airfare if he gives
up his passport permanently and promises
never
to return.
•••
Yes,
that person sure made her case about liberals being tolerant
and Conservatives being the intolerant ones.
She claims the red states
will be poor and the
blue states will be rich. If she only knew we are going to
send all of the people
living in the red states who happen to be on welfare to the
blue states
since most of them are Democrats anyway. Once they get their
welfare dependents back the red states will flourish. We will
have to create
a corridor that
goes straight
from Mexico to New York so they can have all of the new welfare
cases coming from Mexico. As far as the big universities,
we'll keep the
schools and
send
all of the liberal professors packing.
•••
Regarding "Very
Blue in Maryland" I'd like to take
him/her up on the offer. Perhaps we Reds can keep all the
military bases and let the Blues
fend for themselves. And regarding all those "flat,
square" natural
areas (you know, the ones where all the natural resources
are), we'll keep those too. Good luck Blues. A lot of good
all those
high-tech centers will
do for you when you are not sure from whence your next
meal will come.
Why
is it that liberal elites generously consume (spacious homes
that require tons of heating & AC,
eat out at the best restaurants, run around in Chevy
Suburbans and
H2's) and
then tell us that
they are the stewards of the environment?
•••
Very
Blue in Maryland seems to ignore that the cities he lists
(and I will
be more specific, the counties that
are
blue in the
presidential
election),
are predominately the welfare recipient counties.
If you remove the taxpaying
tax base, who will pay the welfare bills for the
blue? In my way of thinking, the blue voter base is made
up of the
labor unions,
the trial
lawyers,
the non-thinkers, and the welfare recipients. So
who are the reds? The reds are
the non-union workers, the self supporting non-welfare
voters, and the American patriots who are not sheep.
The majority
of actual taxpayers
are getting
tired of having their hard-earned tax payments given
to the people who
think they
are owed a living. Otherwise there would not be the
top 50 percent of taxpayers contributing 96 percent of the
taxes.
Seeing
Red in Florida
•••
Obviously
'Blue in Maryland' hasn't looked carefully at the election
map of 2004. If 'Blue' had done
so that person would
have realized
that there
is a
lot more red in the blue states than there
is blue, geographically speaking.
If
we were to divide the country into red and
blue, blue would find itself completely surrounded
and
isolated everywhere. In the
military
this would
be considered a victory.
Let
the blues continue with their arrogance and they will eventually
find themselves
completely
irrelevant.
From my
perspective that
would be a good
thing.

Wonderful,
y'all are simply wonderful. tOR
