When I moved to the Deep South, a “friend” sent me an email about getting my white robes and cross ready. Needless to say, he’s a friend no longer. Unless you live here, you cannot imagine a more friendly, kind environment. Best impulsive choice I ever made. But leftists continue to spread their evil lies.

My friends who have moved South have told me that in many ways they feel like they have come “home.”

It’s really cool and snarky in self proclaimed, self anointed elite, highly educated circles to show total contempt for the less than human great unwashed in fly over country.

For many that contempt mutates into a bigoted hatred for people that that the hater has never met and knows absolutely nothing about

This is best exemplified by a reporter who was a card carrying member of the self proclaimed elite. Seems he went on the campaign trail to document the ignorant, bigoted and boorish behavior of the Trump supporting mouth breathers in small town fly over country

Came back with a new attitude and glowing reports of all the truly wonderful and talented people he met along the way. Totally different than his false and bigoted preconceptions that make up the conventional wisdom of our “elite”

Kind of reminds me of a story from one of my more snarky friends who really had contempt for his assumed stereotypical caricature of Southerners, particularly men, popular in elite PC culture.

Said friend had his life saved on the side of a road on a rainy night in very back woods West Virginia by one of those bible thumping, gun toting good old boys with 1/8 his education and a financial net worth probably less than the replacement cost for one of the wheels on his expensive European sport sedan. After saving his bacon, this southern gentleman insisted on diving back to his shop to get his tow truck, towed the guys car to his shop and worked all night to get the car back on the road so my friend could make it to an important business meeting. And refused to accept any payment for his services

Friend was literally in tears when he told me the story because he was so ashamed of himself for his bigoted and snarky comments over the years for people that he never met and when he did finally meet them he discovered they not so all what his prejudices had led him to believe
