I have to disagree with the author in that he's got the comparison backwards.
The political left has always had more in common with the Roundheads than the Cavs, and does now more than ever. Think about what a Puritan is: A loud obnoxious person from the northeast who thinks that he knows everything, thinks that everyone else is less "pure" and less intelligent than him, and spends his energies trying to tell everybody else how stupid they are while enforcing his dictates on how to live one's life upon them. Add the bitter hatred that they exhibit towards the sitting head of state and you've got a perfect description of none other than John F. Kerry.

Yep, here come the Dixiecrats, y'all.
Funny, but this is exactly what the northeastern libs think of us down here in the Bible Belt. Oh, and it's down here that you find tiny denominations like the Primitive Baptists who still adhere to the Calvinist theology of Cromwell.
Has no one on this forum ever heard of a little thing called "prohibition" that was championed by the ancestors of today's heartland conservatives and opposed by big city liberals?
I suppose you would prefer FDR to Herbert Hoover, GOPCap.
You have no idea what you're talking about. None.
