Upstate New York is basically the south anyway

The New York State Young Republicans—not to be confused with the New York Young Republicans

He later turned his attention to the enemy of all yogurtmen, sour cream, and declared that it “has no reason for being.”

We don't do that in my house. He just moves. I don't do surveillance at all. But I'm told that Christians believe in a God who watches them all the time and then decides where they will spend eternity based on their actions. Methinks the surveilling elf is just God Jr. Samesies for Santa.

No, his ideology, meaning his conservatism. And that ideology most certainly is heavily reflected in his writings.
