"I Want a Divorce"

I received the below post from a fellow conservative at work today. I don't know if it's one of those Snopes urban legends or not...but I sure like the sentiment anyway!
"Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, Obama supporters, et. al: We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right,so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile, slate it up to irreconcilable differences, and go our own ways.
Here is a model dissolution agreement. Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes. We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O'Donnell (you are however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move them). We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies, and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan Hockey Moms, greedy CEO's, and Rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .
You can make nice with Iran , Palestine, and France , and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protestors. When our allies or way of life are under assault, we'll provide them job security.
We'll keep our Judeo Christian Values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, and Shirley McClain. You can have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill. We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Prius and Subaru Station Wagon you can find. You can give everyone healthcare, if you can find any practicing Doctors (that is practicing Howard Dean) who will follow to your turf. We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.
We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and The National Anthem. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach The World To Sing, Kum Ba Ya, or We Are the World. We'll practice trickle down economics, and you can give trickle up poverty its best shot. Since it often so offends you we'll keep our History, our Name, and our Flag.
Would you agree to this? In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you ANWAR on who will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student
American"

American patriot? Mr. Wall sounds like neither. He comes off like a spoiled trust fund brat to me. After 8 ruinous years of the worst presidency ever, he can't take 30 days of a bipartisan administration? One item he didn't mention in the divorce agreement is the Constitution. Figures - neocons like him don't have much need for it. Maybe he should read it before he runs off.

George Rodenbach - a liberal, a taxpayer and a war veteran.

So George, how would your version of John's letter read?

I find this very confusing. I thought taxes paid for the military, police, firefighters? And the Judeo Christian values part. I keep hearing complaints about the "Jewish liberal media" and statistically Jews vote against their own self interests in favor of social justice, so I figured he meant, "Christian values" but then I remembered a quote:
"Jesus answered, 'If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.'"
-Matthew 19:21
Finding doctors won't be hard for the "other" side. I know of many who quit from having to deal with loads of paperwork from corporate insurance companies who pay next to nothing. Doctors support the new health plan.
I hope, "Homeboys" doesn't mean what I think it does.
Last comment: I'll bet they'll keep the gait open just enough for the "illegal aliens" to get through for day-work. Just a hunch.
Where did this guy go to school again?
