A Picture Is Worth 2

Maps showing striking corellations among slave states in 1859, segregated states in 1950, and states that President Obama carried in 2012

I looked around and couldn’t find a larger version with clearer type, though I’m sure it’s out there somewhere on the innerwebs. If your browser has a good zoom feature (mine does), you should be able to enlarge them enough to read the legends.

But, even without reading the legends, this picture is indeed worth.

It shows that the Civil War continues apace, Appomattox to the contrary notwithstanding.

Via Delaware Liberal, which has additional interesting maps.

    Ah, the old to New Confederacy. Now I meet the losers on FB in comments on FB where some of my ‘friends’ were unwisely broadminded with theirs a couple years ago and it’s all about how the animosity is both sides fault and we’d better compromise — read, “do it our way” — or the country will now … wait for it … Go Over the Fiscal Cliff. Fiscal Cliff now being the cudgel phrase used until nausea is provoked. Just after they were rejected for insulting all non-whites as entitlement pimps and whores, there must be a Grand Bargain to attack the entitlement pimps and whores. Oh, forgot maggots, subhuman varmints and whatever other words didn’t make the mainstream media that were also uttered. They believe they won what was Tuesday’s version of Pickett’s Charge.

    Lost in the hyperbole is that there is no fiscal cliff, in the sense of a Thelma-and-Louise cliff once she’s gone she’s gone cliff.  Thelma and Louise couldn’t reverse course.  

    Also lost is the that it is a creation of the Republican House, and of no one else.
