I have an ongoing topic with BroJoeK about how the liberal northeast, especially Massachusetts, adversely affects the rest of the nation.

Gay Marriage comes to mind. The Courts in Massachusetts ordered it, and the public was against it.

Massachusetts was also behind the efforts by John Brown to initiate a slave revolt, which would have ended with hundreds of thousands dead had he been successful in starting one.

Massachusetts has a habit of stirring up trouble, (Salem Witch Trials) and so I like to needle BroJoeK about it when I get an opportunity.

Oh, and the Kennedy family, and all their assorted crimes and immoralities, are from Massachusetts. So was Tip O'Neill.

What you say is true, but keep in mind it is also true that Massachusetts was also the one “stirring up trouble” against the British back in the 1770’s.

The only Massachusetts connection I saw here in this piece was that of Howie Carr who is from Massachusetts, and I view him as more one of “us” than one of “them”.

Same with fag marriage in California. The people voted it down but it became law anyway.
