Rowhouse Logic - Breathtaking Inanity

With so much talk of secession or expulsion in the air, I think it’s important to think about the size of the Kerry vote in the southern states and commonwealths. It was really quite significant. This letter to Josh Marshall, on just that issue, really hit a nerve with me. To be fair, it’s probably important to think of the size of the Bush vote in the North as well.

I’ll admit that I don’t understand the South. I doubt I ever will. It’s a mystery to me. The times I’ve been there, I’ve felt as though I was in a foreign land. At the same time, southerners probably don’t understand rowhouse dwellers in Philadelphia. They probably never will. We do share something though…

Unity, while a rare commodity in this nation, is possible and, at least in the barest of terms, has been achieved in the past. Not under this President though. Not under the rule of this Republican party. Division is their means of governing and it shows. Could you imagine casual talk of breaking up our nation in 1994 or 1984 or 1974 or 1964 or 1954 or 1944?
