From the article...
She, like Jackson, would be identified by the contempt she brings from the Eastern establishment’s salons and Hollywood, which still demands a say when the economic paradigm they speak for has shifted. Panic ensues. Systems degenerate. Seasoned writers become hacks. Artists become propagandists. Traditional “right” and “left” political distinctions become irrelevant. A new division occurs between “nationalists” and “federalists.”

The more "Blue-State Squeeze" I'm subjected to the less painful the financial hit seems when I contemplate selling my (slightly) under-water mortaged home to move to a Red State.

It really is becoming the tale of "two Americas" - and wondering if our nation may indeed split again - this time for a righteous cause.

I have made this point that we cannot run another white male against the democrats/communists. The news media wants their democrat to run against another white male. The news media chose Romney for this reason (knocking out Palin, bacman, Cain etc). The news media will try to above all else choose a white male to be the Republican nominee( Christie or Jeb Bush is the liberal news media's fav). So I made the case for Sarah Palin . She would have obliterated the Obama monster even overcoming the voter fraud. The news media wants to portray the GOP as being only of white males (racist , women hating white males)

Sarah Palin for president of U.S. in 2016

Nationalists are not as easily turned into illuminati finger puppets like Feds are.

Bernie Quigley doesn’t know what “nationalist” or “federalist” mean.
Federalism is shared powers between the states and Federal government. Nationalism is a belief system or political ideology that involves a strong identification of a group of individuals with a nation. The Federalists were nationalists in 1790 and federalists are today.

How is it that one can call the post-nationalists
and transnational coastal elites and their bases nationalist? These are demagogic anti-nationalists dirigists.

Palin ain’t gonna run for President and I doubt she’d win the nomination if she did. Not looking forward to 4 more years of empty wishing.

"The states of the old Confederacy boast 10 of the top 12 places for locating new plants, according to a recent 2012 study by Site Selection magazine.”

I don't know how many times I heard the phrase, "the South shall rise again", as a child. Little did I know that it was actually prophetic at the time.

Given the country's current socio/political/economic reality, I'm very thankful that I reside there now.

Traditional “right” and “left” political distinctions become irrelevant. A new division occurs between “nationalists” and “federalists.”

That is like the "Yankee and Cowboy Wars" scenario of the 70s and 80s.

But it doesn't really work in the way the author wants it to.

The "in" party promotes "nationalism" and the "out" party promotes "federalism" or "state's rights."

When the "ins" become the "outs" and vice versa it subverts a lot of the conclusions people came to based on the earlier scheme of things.

Conservatives in power are less keen on state's rights than conservatives out of power, and liberals out of power are less concerned with centralizing everything in Washington than they were when they were the "in party."

Of course conservatives in office may be less centralizing than liberals in office, and liberals out of office may be less decentralizing than conservatives out of office, but Bernie's version of things doesn't replace the familiar left versus right distinctions.
