Yes Santa, there are two Virginias

Published on October 22, 2008 By InfoGeek In Politics

So, let me see, according to a senior McCain advisor we now have a "real" Virgina and another one. Should it be Unreal Virgina? Imaginary Virginia?

or so we take Gov. Palin's and Sen. Bachmann's idea and make it Anti-America Virginia.

Geographers an dGoogle Maps need to know!

Well maybe the "real" Virginia and "Racist" "Redneck" Pennsylvania should get out and support McCain then. "A senior McCain advisor"... bit of a stretch there, huh? Wish they'd put the "insightful" button back on JU.

There are 2 Virginias. The "real" Virginia and West Virginia. Which by the constitution, is an illegal state. The only reason that no one has started Civil War II is that the "real" Virginia does not want it back.

This is the first that I've heard of this, please explain how West Virginia is an illegal state.

That would be West BY GOD Virginia!

The Virginia I live in, the part that contains this ugly, crumbling, crime ridden, blight infected, shit-stinking mess of the 'Capitol City' (aka Richmond) sucks the big wazoo.

That's not a really good way to describe....

By the way, just read about Sen. Bachmann's

It is a silly, dump, stupid mistake ever can be made. *facepalm.

But why? All she wants is an indepth investigation of member of Congress on whether or not they are "real" Americans. Get a list of the names of those that are un-american and then we will know who they are and what their activities are.

West Virgina was carved out during the Civil war when Virginia seceded from the union but the western part of the state remained/was controlled by the union.

As a punishment to Virginia, West Virginia was created.

Ok.. so it's an artificial state, that was create from the separation of one existing. That doesn't make it an illegal state..

States cannot be created from a state without the permission of the state. West Virginia was created from counties in Virginia that refused to seceed from teh Union. After the war, Congress then declared it a new state, without the permission of the citizens of the state of Virginia.

Hence, it is an illegal state.

No, it is real. Adverse possession. But it is illegal.

After the Wheeling Conventions, West Virginia broke away from Virginia during the American Civil War and was admitted to theUnion as a separate state on June 20, 1863, and was a key Civil War "border state." It is one of only two states formed during the American Civil War (along with Nevada, which separated from Utah Territory) and is the only state to form by seceding from aConfederate state and one of three states to secede from another state (the others being Kentucky and Maine).

seriously, who cares about this ancient history? illigal state? it is a state in the USA, and the only real purpose of states in the USA right now is to facilitate easier postal services (by seperating addresses into easy to manage blocks).

the people that secceeded and the people that didn't want it to leave and so on are all DEAD. everyone is just "american" today.

Heh, I've always heard possession is nine tenths of the law.
