I’m not sure if it is me or Michael you are disagreeing with (I didn’t have that much to say).

I understand what Michael is saying, however I understand what you are saying as well.

I may be incorrect but I believe today’s version of “liberal” has adopted many of the same, warped outloooks that New Englanders of yesteryear had when they tried to impose their world view on the South and others. Todays bunch may not be lily white, but they do want to impose their views on the rest of us nonetheless.

Anyway, my two cents worth for today….

It’s short-sighted to think that today’s yankees are yesterdays. The “New Englanders” today are largely hispanic (look at the demographics of New Haven Ct where Yale is —60% hispanic— like a lot of Westchester County NY which is right by it (see Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Yonkers, etc, etc). They are more motivated by Jesuit run Liberation Theology and ANTI anglicism than the old “New England enlightenment” ideas.

The “new Yankees” HATE New England and everything it stood for (in their minds). The new South haters are the new “white Ethnics,” the Tarantinos (releasing Django Unchained on Christmas this year).

Wasps do not exist in the areas where Southerners get the most flak— hollywood, ny, chicago. DO NOT EXIST. Your new enemies dislike you just as much as your old ones—but THEY ARE NOT THE SAME group.

You’re now dealing (and have been for 80 years) WITH THE PEOPLE WHO DISPLACED the old Yankees.

With all respect, yankees are has-beens. The Northeast people are another animal (and dislike the south just as much as the previous enemies).

These are ALSO not very kind to the colonials— which is why, along with the intensive Anti-South and anti-germanic propaganda, you’ve got attacks to the constitution, etc.

In some cases, the hates conflate, like in Django. The slave involved is Broomhilda—- perversion of the name Brunnhilda, the norse warrior, mentioned in the Wagner ring cycle, etc.

So who are these people lumping together (and hating) the Southern, the German, the colonist?

They are NOT New England wasps— they are NOT driven by any utopian ideas of perfecting society, (not really).

They are driven by Guilt-tripping and USING the old yankee ideas to Tax, tax collect, stamp on public money, etc

It will take something cataclysmic, I fear, to bring us back to a state “free government”.

However, maybe that is what is needed…..
