W is a true son of Texas, heart and soul, but his father is pure 100% Connecticut WASP. He just did a good job of faking the Texas thing for electoral purposes.

The only one on the list I'm not really convinced of is Eisenhower, who started out southron but ended up kind of generic American.

Huh. I always thought that was just Milwaukee.

We keep Yosemite. That's non-negotiable.

Not "close" ... they're one and the same. As always, these goobers are too busy waving the Constitution around to stop and figure out what it actually says -- much like the bible they wave around whenever waving the Constitution doesn't do the trick.

Give 'em coastal Carolina. They don't believe the seas are rising, so they'd be happy to have it.

Awkward. Good thing Thanksgiving hadn't been invented yet.

"Bubblers" in New England, as well. This needs some investigative lexicography.

Hey, if it wasn't convincing, it wouldn't have lasted 150 years!

The fact that it hasn't actually gotten any traction in 150 years proves nothing...

"so why would you care what homeschoolers read to their children anyway."

Because the little suckers are going to vote someday, and it would be good if -unlike their parents- they had a passing familiarity with the real world when they do so.

Doh ... a state's right to violate the US Constitution. It's guaranteed by the Constitution! </derp>

That latter point bothers them, alright ... into a near-homicidal rage.

Not to mention the modern era: Truman Eisenhower Johnson Carter Clinton Bush II

All from southron states. OK, no one from South Carolina or Alabama or Louisiana, it's true. The American electorate may be dumb, but it's not completely suicidal.

No worries. Would you like a pork chop?
