Michael Hirsh at Newsweek wrote a recent article that raises some interesting points. It is entitled,  “How the South won (this) Civil War. In it he addresses how Southern values have changed the empire. He also associates the South with conservative values as opposed to ‘northern sensibilities’.  Although many of his points are interesting, he erroneously claimed the current regime as having ‘Texas’ values, which it does not. The empire building mentality is pure Yankee mentality. It is almost as if he is trying to divorce the regime from the Yankee culture. As a Yankee, Hirsh is starting to wake up. He is still confused on some points, but his suggestion that the north secede is a good one. He recognizes the cultural divide, which people are now beginning to acknowledge on a larger scale. He now sees what we have seen for a long time.

Free Texas!
