Anti-American States in the United States of America

Governor Palin says that North Carolina is one of the patriotic, pro-American states.

I'm proud to live in a state that Sarah Palin most probably does not consider pro-American.

What's interesting is that I hail from Philly and Boston. Arguably these two cities, more than any city in the United States produced intellectual elites who argued the United States of America into existence and led the fight to make sure that that existence was made manifest. While the Joe Sixpack loyalists were completely content to buy overtaxed six packs of tea from the British, it was intellectuals from the cities that I'm from that made the United States exist. Sadly though, according to omnipresent authorities like Governor Palin, I no longer reside in a state that is pro-American. I guess it's because we don't have high enough populations of people who want to secede from the United States of America to be pro-American. What a fucking shame.
