The Congressional stalemate is getting tiresome. Compromise is nowhere on the horizon.

With such vast differences of opinion, why even try to come together? Let’s split along the lines of the Electoral College results of the last presidential election. The Northeast and part of the rust belt along with the west coast form one nation, and the South and the remainder of flyover country will form the other one.

It will be a win-win situation. Those in the red states can do away with government health care and outlaw abortion and gay marriage. They can dismantle all government regulation. Prayer can be returned to the schools and they can teach science straight out of the Bible. What is for them not to like?

Those of us in the blue states can get rid of the obstructionists and finally get something done. Since the red states are net recipients of Federal aid, we will even save some money.
