"Flyover Country"
William Grim is an American living in Germany and, like myself, grew up Ohio. Ohio is one of those places the coastal elites refer to as "flyover country." Grim has captured my own sympathies perfectly.
His essay on The Ulgly American Expatriate is an even better inquiry into the flaccid souls of elitism.
I'm presently working on a brief essay, "The Prol, The Prince, and The Parasite" to further note my own disgust for the contrived herd of pseudo-rebel elitists who think they occupy a loftier realm of morality.

The election draws near. If Kerry is elected, I'll be disgusted and mildly concerned for what it means to a country under siege from fundamentalist fanaticism. We still have a congress, remnants of a supreme court, and a portion of public thought that may keep things intact. In short, I can live with a Kerry "win." Life goes on. The Left can't say that. As I've stated before, if Bush wins, they will refuse to accept it. They'll whine, scream, holler, and protest till the end of time. They'll continue to make it difficult for Bush to conduct the necessary defense of the country and they'll continue their typical demand that the rest of us obey their proxies in the bureaucracy.
Leftism is authoritarianism -- always was, always will be.
