    Years ago, there was a big write-up (cannot find it any more) on the idea of Northern Liberty vs. Southern Liberty, and it was totally spot-on.

    Every American should read it because it really laid out the difference between the way cons with the Southern mindset spoke about “liberty” - in their use of this, liberty meant the right to RULE OVER OTHERS. Which is completely at odds with the normal/Northern interpretation.

    When I used to link to this article and mention it on various forums, including DP’s I’d get butthurt cons saying how unfair that characterization is/was. LOL.
