It is sad how people choose to blame all of the problems on the “south”,
when the problems came not from regions but from people all over the
country, remember, history is written by those in power.

Thank you.

The major problem with doing this split now is that we’d have people who believe in the rapture in possession of a huge nuclear stockpile. It’s a shame America didn’t stay split after the civil war – the south would be a backwards theocracy, and the north really would be the greatest country on earth (as they are responsible for pretty much everything that allows the US to make that claim).

Nothing like blue-state snobbery.

Can we hold you to this, though? You get earthquakes, mudslides, smog, and the idiot Hollywood celebrities of California, and we’ll take the prairies. You take the gang wars, and we’ll take the beauty of Alaska. You take embryonic stem-cell research — an utter failure — and we’ll take adult stem-cell research, which is actually helping people.

And, wait — you WANT Eliot Spitzer?

Reading such hubris,,,,red state v. blue state…. just reinforces my belief that nothing will change.

Obama may be good intentioned (jury is still out, cuase he’s a blank slate) but he’ll meet his match with a venal Congress.

I understand that not everyone will enjoy my writings, but at least you like two things about me.

“All the slave states” is a very vague term. All the former 13 colonies at one time allowed slavery. This includes blue states like NC, VA, MD, PA, NY, etc. None of the 50 states allow slavery anymore. I know that they mean the “Old South” or the former Confederacy, but they are really using a pretty arbitrary delimiter in their reference, as many red states were merely territories then, and Alaska was still part of Russia at the time. Anyhow, that’s a pretty childish comment all together, which takes away from the message of the letter.

I don’t believe the article says that – it says Texas, Oklahoma and the slave states.

Texas and Oklahoma were not slave states.
