Liberals want to Secede from Wingnut Arizona
This is childish politics - it’s every bit as childish as the Wingnuts in Texas who want to secede, the Yo-Yo’s in FL who wanted to create the Conch Shell Republic, The Cascadia creeps in OR & WA, or the isolationists in Alaska who wanted Joe Vogler to lead them to the promised land Bircher style.
When it comes to these dreams of separatist states the clowns who talk of creating them only see the idyllic side when they think of the separation. They always see the worst in the current situation.
When you step back and look at where we are, it’s really always the best and worst of times. There are always things worth fighting for in the public arena, and the adults among us always persevere and put themselves out there consistently to fight for what they want and believe here in the real world. It’s only the stunted political babies who want to take their marbles and run away.
Pima County the 51st state?
A political committee made up of attorneys, including the former chairman of the Pima County Democratic Party, has been formed to try to get Southern Arizona to secede from the rest of the state.
Start Our State, which is asking other like-minded counties to join the effort, hopes to put the question before Pima County voters in 2012.
The concept of a Southern Arizona state - Baja Arizona - has been around for ages as a way to differentiate the region from its more conservative brethren to the north. The notion of secession has been bandied about, but there was never a serious effort in that direction - until now.
Overcoming that historical inertia, and the initial reaction from political observers, highlights the problem the group will face.
