Only 59%, eh?
What the hell ELSE could they blame.. glo-bull warming? The TEA Party? The Koch brothers? Sarah Palin?
If Americans actually had sufficient cranial activity, this number would be near 100%.

That would be to presume that a far greater ratio of denizens of that territory once known as “the United States of America” actually considered themselves to be “Americans”, than is the actual case.
This country has been afflicted with a growing number of “Americans in name only” for many decades now and it threatens to become a permanent majority. I have long advocated the formation of a division of the real estate in this part of the North American continent into the “red” and “blue” regions. The “red” portion of the map, which compromises much the greater part of the territory, is nearly contiguous, and if a division were to be made, it should be drawn along congressional districts or county lines, not state boundaries. There would be scattered much smaller “blue” districts, each of which could form its own kind of governance, and adopt whatever set of cockamamie rules they want in order to establish their idea of “equality” in the new republic they would set up.
The “red” region would then be free to re-establish the principles and constitutional incentives that had served the nation once known as “the United States of America” so well during its first two centuries of existence.
There would be, of course, a period of flux, in which those trapped in a “blue” enclave would be allowed to emigrate to the “red” district, once it had been established that they were not some kind of deceitful double agent who intended to carry the virus of collectivism into the “red” district. Any person who harbored sympathies for the policies of the “blue” districts would be summarily expelled, without regard to status, family, or claims to holdings of any kind within the “red” district.
A very well policed boundary between the “red” district and the various “blue” enclaves would be established, with passage over this boundary very strictly regulated and only after the issuance of a visa for the limited purposes stated at time of application. Overstaying the visa is grounds for immediate expulsion, without hearings or appeals.
