Boy, with friends like Krugman, the south does not need enemies. What a biased story. One thing Krugman forgets to mention is that the cost of living is much cheaper in Miss. than NJ. Plus I would guess taxes are much less as well. If this does not show the elite liberals attitude towards this part of the country nothing does. I would like to know what some of you southerners think of this article.

Ole Miss can't be that bad if it can give more to charity per household than New Jersey or for that matter ANY OTHER STATE.

I would like to know what some of you southerners think of this article.

Nothing I haven't heard before - there is no greater hatred and contempt around than that of the New York Times toward the South. The very existence of this part of the country is an affront to the Slimes' delicate sensibilities (Really, any part of the country outside of Manhattan, San Francisco, Georgetown and Malibu is offensive to the Slimes, but the South really drives them over the edge). In the Slimes' perfect world, every white southerner would be stripped of his/her citizenship and thrown into the gulag.

Folks like Krugman never get tired of reminding southerners they lost the civil war. I learned at my daddys knee to ignore their bile. Krugman knows far more about the mideast ( nothing ) than he does the south. Take anything he says about the south with a very large grain of salt and move on. Nothing here but a blathering liberal yankee.

My family has lived in the South since around 1700. The article makes me laugh.

It's the Democrats who have been race-baiting for decades, and it's starting to backfire.
