re: #558 zora

enlightened southerners are not a figment of reine’s imagination. there are lots of us /them. your “white trash” southerner comments and the like are offensive to many here whether you can accept or not.

Fair enough. I for the longest time used to write these long preambles about precisely which southerners I was referring to. I am well aware that there are plenty of sane southerners. I am never talking about them.

However, the South really does have to own up to the fact that you did elect things like the Texas BOE, Rand Paul and similar creatures. You have to own up to the whole Southern strategy that works there and you have to own up to the electoral lines that replicate the lines of the Civil War and a whole bunch of other things. When I am talking about deluded Southerners, I am clearly talking about a majority.
