irony

If you are as confused about this whole pro/real America versus anti/fake America thing as I am, I would like to share a moment of clarity that I just came to.

To be anti-American, if one follows the presumable meaning of Ms. Palin, is to probably be Republican. Republican-voting states are typically referred to as "red-states" in this poll-crazy, electoral vote counting age we are in.

If you would kindly consider the following picture of the 2004 Electoral Map:













This is the same map, but with only the states as of 1864:












And finally, this is a map of the Union (blue) and Confederate (red) states [Kentucky was really a split state, so we are discounting it here for the sake of argument]:






As you can see, there is a lot of similarity here.






Some would call it ironic that the "pro-America" parts of the country, in fact, used to be the most anti-America states! THE ONES WHO TRIED TO FORM THEIR OWN COUNTRY!!!
