I’ve been thinking that for the last 30+ years.
Native Southerner, BTW.
Can’t a posse lock up Mitch next time he gets back to Ky.?
The decline in Southern exceptionalism in time may lead to more of a convergence among the U.S. and other modern democracies. Let us hope so. We have had enough of the wrong kind of American exceptionalism.
I'd just like to sock this author right in the kisser.
Written by a died in the wool Yankee liberal!
Politico, read RINO.
To illustrate the difference in life, even only 50 miles away from HotLanta (ugh), I sent in my tag registrations I got in the mail. One day I got a call from Doris over at the tag office. She said I forgot to put my insurance company on the form and asked me what it was. I told her and I got the stickers in the mail the next day. THAT NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN COBB COUNTY - EVER.
Years later one of them in the tag office asked me when I bought my explorer....long story short, there was a law that allowed my car to be eligible for a one time ad valorem tax payment (which was paid in the sales tax) and my $250 tag bill went down to $18. He just told me to go home and get the bill of sale. My tax bill for that car is now $18 for the tag forever.
Similar story for renewing my CCW. Walked into the probate clerk's office and the lady asked me "What you looking for honey?" I told her and she put me through the steps, sent me over to the jail to get my fingerprints and NICS check and I was back in less than a half hour. By the time I got there she'd stamped, had the judge sign and laminate the card for me....about 45 minutes. In Cobb county it took two months and having to negotiate through about 5 a$$holes to do it. The moral of this is your life gets so much easier when you get as far away from officious government a$$holes as you can.
“The only thing that the South needs to do to improve themselves is stop taking more federal welfare then they give. That is really the only negative that the South has.”
See #37
( It is the Demographics.)
I call dibs on the cigar and single malt concessions.
I imagine most of the South’s violent crime stats come from “The Cocolate City” and Atlanta.
Yup, a faggot.
So, if the rest of the country kicks the South out of the Union, the South won’t be able to afford the welfare payments. Do you think the welfare recipients will vote with their feet and return to the Union?
How the Left “skewers” America. There, fixed title.
Looks like the Yankee Progs will keep picking at this scab until the South really does “Rise Again!”
Cost of 15ft Ryder moving-truck rental from Georgia to New Jersey = $180.
From New Jersey to Georgia = $800.
One can dream, right? After all, FedGuv is just one big plantation. And Obama is the Head Massah.
hurrah for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star. to arms!
And this seals the deal for me...he’s a writer for Salon
What Michael Lind is really saying when we wash out all of the PC bull crap is; If Lincoln had just allowed the Confederate States to go ahead and legally leave the union, the United Socialist States would be oh so much better off today.
Hey Mikey, I agree...
Well of course they do.
Liberal = statist = progressive = socialist = democRAT = communist etc etc etc
