At least what you present on this sight is focused on presenting a political ideology.  That makes you in my book an ideologue.  The difference is a political canned way of perceiving things rather than comparing against reality.  Thus, no truth, no integrity.  This separates you from a scientist, engineer or professor.  Of course, we need all types.

The less populated sections of the country could drop a few denser regions without too much trouble, but overall the two sections of the country need each other.  Some areas have a surplus of food.  Others generate manufactured goods.  The forces holding us together seem to more potent than a few ideologues who try to pull us apart.

I do agree that sending many jobs abroad was hardly ideal for the American worker, but more for the American elites.  Still, for years the rest of the world was exploited by colonial imperialism.  The American blackmail to open all colonial ports or the Lend Lease aid would not be forgiven ended that.  That made America great and all that.  The shifting of jobs to spread opportunity made sense to more than the elites.
