White Southerners Drag This Country Down
http://www.useless-knowledge.com/ ^ | Sept. 14, 2004 | Mark Gelbart

Don't get me wrong. I live in the south, and I love the south. I spend my Saturday afternoons watching the Georgia Bulldogs and other southern college football teams; I enjoy true quality peaches and real grapes known as scuppernongs; I eat my fatback and grits; and the people are very nice. I simply disagree with them about politics and religion. The political beliefs of white southerners drag this country down.

It has always been this way throughout American history starting with the issue of slavery. Most northern states gave up slavery as early as 1800, but for economic reasons, southerners refused to give up on the heinous institution. Everyone knows slavery was an economic advantage for a few wealthy landowners. They used their political clout to completely control and influence society. Having slaves was a detriment to the poorer whites as well, because they could not compete with free labor. Yet, rich whites owned the newspapers. The editorial pages were filled with pictures of what would happen if slaves were freed. (Black men would go with white woman. OOOOH! How abhorrent.)

We all know what happened. The bloodiest war in American history broke out. And it was not even because the north was going to force the south to give up slavery. It was because the country elected a president--who for the first time--was going to morally condemn slavery. This was a slap in the face to the south. The south defended the institution of slavery, and the southern Baptist religion was even founded on this moral defense. There is no argument today. At least not a reasonable one. The south was wrong. And the south was wrong during the Civil Rights battle one hundred years later.

The south is still wrong. If it wasn't for white southerners, George W. Bush would have no chance of getting elected. He can rely on the south to vote for him in a block. What's wrong with Bush?

Then there is the war on terror which has been one colossal blunder after another. Let's make this clear. Mr. Bush was not the victim of bad intelligence. He deliberately mistated the intelligence that he did have--an impeachable offense. Starting a war of aggression for phony reasons is a crime against humanity.

It is evident that we have a redneck gangster as president. Unfortunately, white southerners by and large support him even though his policies such as his tax cuts for the rich hurt working class southern whites. Their blind loyalty brings this country down.

The most racist, backwards state I've ever experienced is Wisconsin. Although it's claimed to be a liberal thinkfest in Madison and they are in posession of a real enlightenment on human behavior the way it aughta be, nothing could be further from the truth. They are racist lunatics who feel that if they can slowly bleed white guilt on every issue around the globe, it will somehow fill their empty souls. It's freaky.

point your ass north, and stand on the gas.

Amen Brother. I work for a major Aerospace company and get sick and tired of these Northerners putting down the south were all of the good jobs are. I thank God that I was born here in the south. Where you're still suposed to hear yes mam and yes sir.

Your right. The Union break up was all about money. How well could the "union" function without the southern states tax and spending base?

As a Northern male, Let me comment if you will.

Who is this bigoted nitwit? Southern males have always been dragging this country down? You mean like Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry?

Of course there is Jimmy Carter....

Try that think tank called New York. There are dummies ever where (even in the south). But, when a guy from Long Island tells me (cajun) and my coworker (Texas) "You guyz frum da south tawlk funny. Your axcent makes you guyz sound so stupid.", then you just have to laugh.


Does any more need to be said?

There is a football commentator on WTVN radio (Munch Bishop) on Ohio State game days. He is proud of his leftist political views. Yet he will smugly throw slurs at those he disagrees with as though his views are simply common sense.

Yesterday, as OSU prepared to face North Carolina State, he opened his show with this statement amongst a few others:
"I hope the Hatfields and McCoys have put their muskets away."
"I question the intelligence of anyone south of the Mason-Dixon line."
"I wonder why it took the north 4 years to win the Civil War."

I know that controversy sells in broadcasting, but bigotry toward rural, southern, Appalachian heritage goes on unchecked. Of course when a person of this culture may come unglued and punch one of these guys' lights out, they say their point is proven. But they'll never raise a peep while Al Franken and union goons go about, attacking innocent people.

I thought it was ridiculous that Viet Nam was the center piece of the campaign, now this fool wants to take it back to the 1800s. Guess he figures the President is responsible for slavery too.

The North had the Industrial wherewithall and the transportation methods sewn up. The South had the raw materials, but no way to ship or market them without going through the North. This was the leading cause for secession. The North took advantage of the South's lack of industrialzation.I learned this last semester in my History 1700 class. This article is just another example of liberals rewriting history to match their own sordid agenda..
