If Only Loudoun County Could Be Expelled From the Union…

The Civil War closed the door to secession from the Union, so I suppose floating the idea that a region of the country could be expelled for bad behavior is off the table. 

But sometimes I wonder if we wouldn’t be better off if we could do so. Imagine the possibilities! Portland…gone. San Francisco…gone. Chicago…gone. Minneapolis…it can be the sanctuary for pedophiles it appears to want to be. 

Loudoun County…it can become the Maoist paradise it aspires to be.

New: Loudoun County School Board Chair April Chandler referred to unhappy parents who attend school board meetings as “agitators” and “disrupters.” 

Chandler made those comments during a recent closed door training on “terrorist activity,” according to sources who were in the room.

Yes, I know it is a bad idea, not the least because it would mean abandoning American citizens to an even more depraved government than they already must tolerate. 

¿El Presidente Brandon Johnson? We’d eventually have to invade. Although, come to think of it, we could occupy the country of Chicago, clean it up, and re-admit it to the Union. 

Hmmm. Attractive idea, come to think of it. 

Expelling Loudoun County would give us some real benefits. Many of the most obnoxious federal employees live there, and perhaps if they are citizens of the now-country of Loudoun, we could fire them more easily? And Virginia wouldn’t elect murderous communists cosplaying normal people as state leaders, given that Loudoun provides the margin for Democrat victories. Expelling the worst Blue areas would also ensure that our politics would lose their roughest edges, as the truly insane were left free to create their communist paradises, as the rest of us fight over the proper level of taxes and whether Home Owners’ Associations should be so tyrannical. 

Imagine a California without San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles. It would be a paradise again. 

A man can dream, can’t he?

I am musing about this because places run by the radical left are, for all intents and purposes, run by insanely evil people. Perhaps they are literal demons and Devil worshippers, or perhaps they are just followers of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Keir Starmer. 

Does it matter? Not to me. The practical effect is the same, sans the Divine justice that could only come from the God who destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

What kind of people, on the day that a school district employee killed a student through negligence, hold a training session to teach the Board how to deal with a parent who is a terrorist bent on killing them for their ridiculous and dangerous transgender policies?

LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. (7News) — On Jan. 13, hours after a Loudoun County Public Schools employee struck and killed a student while driving a district maintenance vehicle, the Loudoun County School Board held a closed-door training focused on the school board’s safety.

7News has learned that the board, under the leadership of new School Board Chair April Chandler, held a closed-door meeting for school board members and staff only. The subject of the meeting? Responding to “terrorist activity” at school board meetings.

According to multiple sources who were in the room but requested we not identify them, the terrorism training involved dozens of actors, brought in by the school board, to act as Loudoun County parents. Those pretend “parents” sat in the gallery in the school board meeting room as actual families normally would.

In this training, one of the parents has a gun. The actors were screaming and yelling and running around the room, witnesses said. School board members and staff were instructed to “run, hide, and fight,” much the same as training provided to students in the event of an active shooter scenario.

You may remember that under the Biden administration, the Justice Department labeled parents potential “domestic terrorists” because they complained at school board meetings about alphabet ideology and the policies that put boys in girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms. It was totally on-brand for the Biden administration, and among the school districts pushing for this classification was Loudoun County. 

Loudoun County became infamous in 2021 after being exposed for allegedly attempting to cover up a sexual assault in a school bathroom perpetrated by a male student who claimed a transgender identity. The victim’s father was later arrested at a board meeting after he demanded that the board admit they covered up his daughter’s attack.

“We’re not violent parents,” the father, Scott Smith, told 7News. “We’re loud. We’re very loud, and we’re very forceful because they [the school board] won’t listen. I know nobody that has wished any violence upon the school board, not me, once ever has thought about doing anything violent against the school board. We want to be heard and we want to be respected, and we want our children protected.”

These people are sick. They absolutely hate the parents and believe that they own the children and their minds. As importantly, they work assiduously to warp the minds of those children and set them at odds with their parents, their religion, and Western society. 

Now I have little doubt that they will face ultimate judgment by God, and that vengeance is His alone, but that doesn’t mean we have no right to expect that they will not be in positions of power.

Justice Department Sues Loudoun County for Violating Equal Protection of Christian Students

“Students do not shed their First Amendment rights at the schoolhouse gate,” said @AAGDhillon

 “Loudoun County’s decision to advance and promote gender ideology tramples on the rights of religious students who cannot embrace ideas that deny biological reality.”

Unfortunately, unless they violate state or federal laws (which they likely are with their transgender policies), only the voters of Loudoun County can remove them. That they haven’t says nothing good about those people. 

Hence, my fantasy that they be expelled from the country. If only…
