This Eden is not located in space but in time: the Republic in the decades after the Civil War when the plantocracy ruled in the South and plutocrats reigned in the North.

With the exception of a few neo-Confederates, I don't know of any conservatives who long for this period in history.

It was an interesting time, and not nearly as bad for most as this guy would like to believe, but it's not my ideal.

I'd settle for a more libertarian 50s, with enforced civil rights for all Americans.

BTW, the subtext behind all this verbiage is that Jack and his crew are intent on fundamentally changing America, and they are outraged that anybody dares to resist this change. No hint in here that his side is the aggressor. To Jack, resistance to his aggression is what really constitutes aggression.

You think the 50s was more libertarian? It is just the opposite, libertarian America came out of the 1960/70s.

The 1950s was still a conservative America compared to what followed.
