Description
When was the last time a Democrat carried Nebraska and South Dakota? Answer: 1964. So why don't we just let them start their own totally Republican country right in the middle of the U.S.A.? Throw in Kansas; What the hell?!?
They can call it Republicana.
Then all the Republicans could create their dream nation. A nation with no Obama-care, no Social Security, no Medicare, no unemployment benefits, and no taxes on corporations.
They could totally eliminate women's rights, Labor Unions, honest journalism, the ACLU, Gays, the Environmental Protection Agency, and free elections (all Republicans vote in lock-step anyway). There would be no allegations of voter fraud, since no sane non-white person would try to get in there.
Abortion would be a thing of the past, as well as public schools(and teachers) and public parks (and public employees). Roads and public works projects would be built by prison labor.
Family Values guys like Newt Gingrich and David Vitter (Google 'em)could run for President and be elected in a landslide.
Huge corporations, lured by tax-free profits would jam every inch of available land. And there would be no problem with pesky collective bargaining or costly fringe benefits, because Republicans have openly declared their hatred of such things ever since Reagan.
So where do they get(sane)employees? Simple: Prison labor or import them from some third world hell-hole. And of course DENY them citizenship (Can't have 'em voting, now, can we?)
And let's not forget guns. GUNS!GUNS!GUNS!
Guns for everybody. Except of course those imported foreigners and prison laborers.
We'll have GUN CONTROL for them.
So there you have it: Republican Utopia. REPUBLICANA! The ultimate free market corporate dominated paradise.
Freedom from the entire social contract that once was America.
If every Republican moved there, they wouldn't have to be bothered with the rest of us.
Plus, they could finally be the only ones who reap the results of their brilliant ideology.
What could possibly go wrong?

Why should republiclans limit themselves to Nebraska, South Dakota and Kansas when they are well on the way to having it all. All 50 states that is. They already control 26 states. Those 26 states have filed lawsuits to kill health care reform in those states. Union membership in private industry is down from a high of 35% in the 1950s to around 7% today. The Two Santa Claus Theory proposed by conservative operative Jude Wanniski in the 1970s has worked brilliantly. The theory can be found here: http://www.calitics.com/diary/8718/the-two-santa-claus-theory In a nutshell Wanniski said that Democrats had been able to be "Santa Clauses" by giving people things from the largesse of the federal government. Republicans could do that, too - spending could actually increase. Plus, Republicans could be double Santa Clauses by cutting people's taxes! For working people it would only be a small token - a few hundred dollars a year on average - but would be heavily marketed. And for the rich it would amount to hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts. The rich, in turn, would use that money to import or build more stuff to market, thus increasing supply and stimulating the economy. And that growth in the economy would mean that the people still paying taxes would pay more because they were earning more. There was no way, Wanniski said, that the Democrats could ever win again. They'd have to be anti-Santas by raising taxes, or anti-Santas by cutting spending. Either one would lose them elections. Once that was accomplished the United States would become a Feudal society with the mass of people on the bottom and the few rich in charge. And that, my dear latchkey, is the point.

Well said! Facts DO have a "liberal bias". I suppose my "point" is this. If any group really wants a nation created in the Republican/neo-con/Randian image (i.e. Ayn Rand) I would LOVE to see them try it. Republicans would rapidly get what Republicans deserve. But the rest of our citizens should not be sentenced to what Republicans deserve. Ayn Rand (author of Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead, and other drivel) preached that only the perfect and the beautiful deserved to survive and be loved. She worshiped the principles of a sociopath and disguised herself as a "rugged individual". Until she got cancer. Then she immediately "stuck her hand out" for Social Security and medicare and died in a hospital bed paid for by the same "social safety net" which she attacked with every previous breath. Ayn Rand was a complete fraud and a literary whore. Most Neo-Cons worship the ground she walks on. The evils of "free-market capitalism" were outlawed at the turn of the last century. If you ask a new Republican, they act as if it were some newfangled, hi-tech toy. They look right past the lead-based paint.

uh... keen idea, but could you move this republico a few states south, as you are pretty damn close to my home and native land (Canada... the great white north...) and we have enough trouble with our own republicans up here (The Harper Government... not the Canadian Government, the Harper Government... odd thang that) theng Q very much and unless you've made other plans, have a great day!
