MSN: “Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh has suggested that some American states could soon breakaway from the United States and declare independence. Limbaugh has suggested that there is growing support among Conservative majority states to breakaway from the United States of America. Speaking on his program, The Rush Limbaugh Show, on Wednesday, Limbaugh claimed that ‘there cannot be a peaceful coexistence’ between liberal and conservative America, which he said had increasingly different cultures.”

“Some states are ‘trending toward secession’ as a result, he said, adding that there was ‘sizable and growing sentiment’ for declaring independence from the U.S. in those which have a majority of conservative or right-wing voters. The talk show presenter made the remarks in response to a question from his show’s official program observer about whether Republicans could ever win major national elections ‘without taking back blue cities.’ Limbaugh said that the party had already won many elections without doing so in the past, before discussing whether conservatives could ‘dominate… the culture?’ ‘I actually think that we’re trending toward secession,’ he said. ‘I see more and more people asking what in the world do we have in common with the people who live in, say, New York? What is there that makes us believe that there is enough of us there to even have a chance at winning New York? Especially if you’re talking about votes.’ He went on to suggest that liberal and conservative political cultures had become ‘much more separated’ and that things ‘can’t go on this way,’ although noting that he was undecided on whether entire states should breakaway. ‘There cannot be a peaceful coexistence of two completely different theories of life, theories of government, theories of how we manage our affairs,’ he added. ‘We can’t be in this dire a conflict without something giving somewhere along the way.'”
