middle states flagAs predicted earlier in an entirely different medium, the Middle States are starting to rise up and spit in the eye of the MSUS (Mainstream United States). Case in point, yesterday's overwhelming support for a new gas refinery in the South Dakota county of Union. Not only will this project shatter the MSUS' 32-year moratorium on refinery-building but it is also aimed squarely at reducing our dependency on the Middle East.

"The refinery will process 400,000 barrels of tar sands crude a day from Alberta into low-sulfur gasoline, diesel and jet fuel," reported the Sioux City Journal.

"We have strategies in place to slow or delay all the permit processes," countered a NIMBY spokesman.

Couple this development with Montana's recent threat of secession on breach-of-contract grounds over the 2nd Amendment and its hopeful that we may be seeing the first seeds of an open revolt.
