New York need's to secede along with the rest of the northeast, it isn't only New York who thinks completely different from the rest of the nation, MA, CT, RI, VT, NH, NJ, MD, PA, and small pieces of a select other surrounding states to completely isolate the northeast off the country. We already have international allies, Germany, England, France, probably Ireland, Italy, Spain and Portugal would joint us almost instantaneously even if it means fighting the mighty United States. We're already 20x smarter then the rest of the country, we're multicultural, our diplomacy is remarkable, we're sensitive to issues, we make sure things get done properly, we spend money cautiously (when you have all the worlds money of course you learn how to spend properly), we run the businesses through Wall St., we have broadway, major corporations and conglomerates, the most multi-cultural and understanding community in the most densly populated areas of America, we founded the original US with most of our northeastern states, we're progressive, we pay more taxes then the rest of the country to this GREAT federal government of ours, we're governed by Federal Morons without a doubt, the rest of the countries opinions and standpoints are completely close-minded with the decision making left up to the people who's IQ doesn't exceed that of a cotton ball... on top of all this, if we were our own country, which at this point in almost 2005 is COMPLETELY possible because of our new European allies, we would isolate problems with the Middle East to either us (the Neo-Confederacy) or the GOP -United States of America, if terrorists kept up their attacks on the new country of the Northeastern United States, that gives way to the rest of Europe realizing the problems in the first place and backing the Northeast 100% with no questions asked OR the United States gets to continue their futile war on terror which will never be won due to the lack of evidence and the EXTREME loyalty of terror members to their organization and the cause. Terror will never be stopped, the problems with this country and the Middle East span nearly to our beginnings and their jealousy and envy of our success, moreover the northeast's sucess, will continue their quest against the United States. The American experiment has failed. This section of the country today thinks so much different then the rest of the country (excluding the far west), that we feel most of the time that it isn't even worth being part of them. The ground swell of people in the northeast who have grown and are growing to hate the United States is unbelievable, almost so large you'd think it was a flat out lie... the only step is for Europe to completely ally with the Northeast, our eventual secession from the United States and the United States eventual following of all our ideals and joining the Northeast to form the New Democratic Federation is the outcome of this American experiment not because I say so, because the trend of thinking in this country puts the GOP in an extinct position no matter how strong they are within a decade or 2 where all their ideals and prospects of the country are so out-dated and wrong that once the rest of the countries intelligence levels rise to that of the northeast, the GOP will wither and die suffocating in their own glory and fake representation to the people
