Yes, Paterson is a gem. Last week they announced that throughout the Paterson school district, 19 students tested high enough for college admission.

NINETEEN!

Well said.
However, I differ with you on one point. I think his cranium is filled with fecal matter; not scrambled eggs. What came out his mouth has a male bovine odor to it.

Toward the end of his column, Tomasky even seems to favor secession, calling the South "[a] different country. And maybe someday it really should be. I’ll save that for another column."

FINALLY. Something a liberal writes that I can get enthusiastic over!

Ditto.

I’m for the South declaring independence. That will mean turning off the pipelines to the North, of course, but there is enough hot air from Lefty writers to keep them warm.

'Reactionary, Fetid, Nuclear Waste Site'

That's today's Mainstream Media and their Websites; void of the facts and pushing socialism as fast as they can.

If not for the one redeeming quality of the piece (I learned what choleric meant), this would be pure polemic porn.

Uh-oh, does this mean the NorthEast is gonna secede from the Union? Their slavery to leftist ideology seems to be eating at their judgemental collective conscience.

“If the south is that bad, how come so many of murders take place in Chicago, Detroit, New York, DC and other northern cities?”

Good question; the answer probably includes a disarmed population.

Daily Beast? Really? Huffington Post, Slate, Salon, and the Daily Beast have less credibility combined than Infowars; yet they (Infowars) are banned from FR.

Have you seen the preview for the new movie about Moses? It shows that big wall of water? That’s actually a news clip of all the liberal tears flooding out of Boston.

And there you have it, Southerners. This is the distilled opinion of the Liberal Establishment toward you, and by extension, any part of America that doesn’t agree with its “enlightened” viewpoint.

These people make Marie Antoinette look like a communist.

I’m surprised he never mentioned the millions of Rednecks with rifles.

It's actually a bit more complicated than that--and worse, in some ways. Here's how Wiki summarizes it:

Bergen County developed as the largest slaveholding county in the state,[1] in part because many slaves were used as laborers in its ports and cities. After the Revolutionary War, many northern states rapidly passed laws to abolish slavery, but New Jersey did not pass abolish it until 1804, and then in a process of gradual emancipation similar to that of New York. But, in New Jersey, some slaves were held as late as 1865. (In New York, they were all freed by 1827.) The law made African Americans free at birth, but it required children (born to slave mothers), to serve lengthy apprenticeships as a type of indentured servant until early adulthood for the masters of their slave mothers. New Jersey was the last of the Northern states to abolish slavery completely. The last 16 slaves in New Jersey were freed in 1865 by the Thirteenth Amendment.[2]

My understanding is that slavery was outlawed in NJ in 1846; Bergen County was also home to “Skunk Hollow”, a settlement of free blacks from the early 1800s (at a time when most weren’t free).
