The owner of FreeRepublic is a Yankee from Yankee land (California). Must suck, being on such a terrible website run by yankees. Maybe you can find a new one. By no coincidence, most of America's enemies that despise our constition also sneer about "Yankees from yankee land"
Must really grind your gears that the citizens of my "liberal socialist yankee state" elects more conservative Republicans to the U.S. Senate that yours. So we'll punish the citizens of my state because your "conservative" state keep electing commies to the Senate.
If the 17th amendment were repealed VA would have 2 conservative senators. That is the whole point.
