This is very reminiscent of the Free State Project (http://www.freestateproject.org/index.jsp).

This is essentially the plan of the Free State Movement, painted over with a rather vile veneer of historically-inaccurate Crosstianity. The Founders weren't Christian, didn't consider this a Christian nation, and wouldn't support this noise they're spouting.

I am, however, perfectly content with giving them a state in which to live... and then building large walls around it, sealing it off completely and never hearing from them again.

The federal government is considering whether marriage, the foundation of civilization since Creation, should be reserved solely to a man and a woman.

You know, from the tone, I'm not sure if they're for or against it. I mean, after all, historically speaking, marriage was usually between a man and his wives/concubines.

Hey, if it means getting them out of here, I'll chip in a few bucks. I hear Bikini Atoll has some lovely weather.

I suggest Alaska -- it's nicely isolated from the rest of the country, and big enough so that they can all move there. Then we can sell it back to Russia and be rid of 'em.

I seem to remember a fairly long debate about whether states were allowed to leave the union. It was bitterly argued, but the pro-secession side lost the debate. I really don't think we want to do that again.

Besides, it would give Bush an excuse to 'temporarily' suspend the election for the 'duration of the emergency.'
