In reviewing the posts on this thread, it occurs to me that we have nothing in common with the neo-conservatives of the Republican Left-Coast or New England.
How can they write that it/'s not about the land, or our communites, or our churches, or our ancestor's graves? They have no clue.
They really don't understand. They can't go to a graveyard, and say, "This is my grandfather, and his father, and his father, and his father". They don't live with the "ghosts", that lead them to join the military, because "that is what we do".
They live transient lives, like tumbleweeds, while we are like the oaks and the sychamores, that plant their roots, deep in Southern soil. When we talk about our own nation, they respond, "Why don't you leave?"
They forget that our families made this land from wilderness, and fought to protect it against their thieving ancestors, who stole our families silver and sent it back north.
I'll take my stand, to live and die, in Dixie.

it is my contention that what we southrons really need is a "no fault divorce".
it is further my belief that the rest of the current country would be MUCH happier if we were "across an international border". they could have the sort of imperialist, intrusive, cradle-to-grave SOCIALIST/FASCIST NANNYstate that they seem to want "up there" AND
we would be FREE AT LAST. THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, FREE AT LAST!

only one day of the nine was rainy/windy/cold = 19-27 degrees with 35+MPH wind & FREEZING rain. (we stayed in the house all day, cooked beef stew/cornbread/oatmeal-raison-dried cherry cookies, watched TV & generally "goofed off".)
