Baldwin Man Suggests Splitting Up the United States

Nick Balandiat strikes again with another letter that has landed in the pages of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Balandiat of  wrote an April 1 letter to the editor of the Post-Gazette that suggests that the United States consider splitting up its country into separate conservative and liberal entities. And it's not an April Fools' joke.

"Is anyone surprised that the U.S. Supreme Court may overturn the Affordable Care Act?" Balandiat writes. "I'm not. It's a Republican court.

"Maybe we should go a step further and just break up the country. Let the conservative paradises blossom in the South and Western Plains, and the liberal states can go their own way. We obviously can't work together, and I know folks who really don't want their reps to compromise at all.

"America may have just run its course."

Balandiat is the same man who wrote a in which he called Pennsylvania Republicans hypocrites.
