Was checking my referrer log and found that we’d been linked from the SF (Speculative Fiction) Reader Forum, where a bunch of blue state folks are actually talking about secession.
Maybe this time the North will secede from the . . . well, almost everything else.
CHECK OUT WHAT THEY’RE SAYING.
Incidentally, welcome SFReader Forumers! We may tend to be red state on this blog, but we’re SF fans, too! (As you can see from several of the below posts. We also thought of the secession idea, as you can also see below–and above.)

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

Ah, yes, I was the one who linked you–I’m an SFReader and writer myself, and I’ve got an author page hosted by them (click my “homepage” link). I read your blog regulary, and thought that county-by-county breakdown was interesting.
I would tend to consider the rural upper midwest to be the North, we sure sent a lot of volunteer units to free the slaves, and we think about the same way today.
It is the “europeanized” urban areas that have changed. And they rioted against liberty for the slaves back then, and are controlled by the Party of Slavery, Jim Crow and Abortion, today.
So, Jimmy, are you going to run against Guiliani and Hilary in 2008?
