pagan democracy

the_monkey_king's concern about Christian Reconstructionists dovetailed with my discovery of some Christian secessionists.

the idea is to get a bunch of like-minded voters to concentrate in one state to shape policy and eventually secede from the US. at first i was appalled at the idea of co-opting the system to such an extreme, but then i thought, hey, i never liked any of the candidate states anyway...and then the most fervent would move out of the rest of the country. and that's good for America.

we have here a group protesting the "federal guidelines" that keep prayer out of schools, while they are ready to use the same to stop gay marriage, abortion, and freedom of religion.

freedom from state religion is what brought Pilgrims, Puritans, Quakers, Anabaptists, and Jews here. christian fundamentalist splinter groups could only develop here, where they are allowed to openly organize what would be considered treasonous anywhere else. but i'm wondering what kind of economy they would have, and how would they do any of the things the Feds used to pay for? do they understand that the wealth of the nation does get redistributed in its fashion? i don't know what resources they have and what they'd need to import. perhaps they can do some sweetheart manufacturing deals with multinationals featuring low low wages and child labor. would the tax structure involve tithing?

and where is this "pagan democracy" anyway? i would so move there.
