"A case made for YANKEE secession"
Reading several essays, I am formulating in my mind the code-speak that Bush and other politicans are using when they referred to the "liberal Senator FROM MASSACHUSETTS!" Coupled with a news article today, "Hollywood now seen as a liability for Democratic party", it is becoming clearer that the northeast and west coasts are being villified more and more as evil and Unamerican.

"After nearly twenty years of studying American political philosophy and history, I have established the firm conviction that every evil experienced in the United States has originated in New England. Whether importing African slaves, rejecting Biblical Christianity, implementing governmental education, or establishing a nationalistic bureaucracy, New England has led the way towards totalitarianism in the American empire. Of course, what can anyone expect from the descendents of Puritan ancestors who believed they were the chosen people of God to create a New Jerusalem in the wilderness? While a few good people have escaped this mentality by God's grace, most citizens in the Northeast embrace both the tradition and the conviction of their role as kingdom builders under the likes of John Endicott, Thomas Paine, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Horace Mann, Horace Greeley, and Charles Sumner. We can now add to this illustrious group of arrogant do-gooders the name of Mr. Mark Strauss....

Mr. Strauss is wrong when he laments, "The North and South can no longer claim to be one nation." The South never claimed to be one nation with the North. This nonsense came about after the War for Southern Independence. Before the war, the states were in a voluntary federal union. The framers of the Constitution desired no more to form a unitary nation-state than they wanted to establish a monarchy. However, by violating the Constitution, the North forced the South to submit and join the empire. The Confederate States of America have been under occupation since 1865. We Southerners are more than willing to seek our own destiny, to make our own mistakes, and to take responsibility for our self-determination. But we will not allow self-righteous busybodies from New England or anywhere else dictate their silly utopianism to us. Once we are free, we will insist that we be left alone.
