It drives the pundit and politicos nuts that they can't pinpoint a Southern man on a chart.
Thanks for the ping DC2000!
Great post devolve - I enjoy all your posts.
good answer. bump
I've read that a large part of the cowboy population was southron. I guess the southern spirit truly is the image of America.
Honest law-abiding people shouldn't have to support bums and deviates. Hushpuppies should have onion in them.
Everyone is a 'yankee' to the foreigner.
Bttt
Texas bump.
Most Northern Americans really don't think of the South at all. They don't care what happened last week let alone something that happened during the 1800's. They live their lives, go to work and don't think of anyone else outside their circle of friends or relatives. Most every Northern American thinks a Yankee lives on the Northeastern seaboard and works on a lobster boat. Most of the time, the only time a Northern American sees a confederate battle flag is on the news at some KKK rally. The only Civil War battlefield a Northern American would probably visit would be Gettysburg but that would only be because it was part of the itinerary.
If a Northern American meets a Southerner, they would be amused by the accent but as a curiosity and not hostile. The Northern American may have had a ancestor killed in the Civil War but they may not know what side he was on. The larger percentage of Northern Americans didn't have relatives in this country in the 1860's.
"Fight when right. Serving in the military is an honor. Fighting for freedom is worth the cost – no matter what."
I think the liberal brainwashing system has won in this respect. Myself and one of my first cousins were the last members of our entire family to serve in the military during the Vietnam era. All of my other cousins and their children didn't chose to volunteer as their fathers and grandfathers did. It's a shame, as our family has served since before the revolution. There are still plenty of volunteers from the South though.
You bet -

We'd like to see them, please :)
Bring them out more often.
Liberals don't get it, but many of us Yankees do get it. More than you think, especially outside of the big cities.
Nothing irks me more than some leftist from Ann Arbor or another area to get away from there, and then brings "Ann Arbor" with him. I do care he did it in Ann Arbor, so I know what not to do here.
Correction - some leftist from Ann Arbor or another area MOVES HERE to get away from there...

LOL! Asked for hushpuppies in a fast food fish joint in Tacoma, Washington one time. Didn't know what the heck I was talking about.
