Indonesian Go Home
But of course. I could have told you. Sometimes I miss my “home” states of TN & AL. Miss the slower pace, the food, neighbors, and the smell of Honeysuckle in the evening. Besides the people don’t talk funny like they do up north.
As the song goes - "I'm from the country, and I like it that way."
There are plenty of places across our great land that have pride in their community and still hold to the values that or forefathers had.
Obviously these folks think the south is the only place these things happen. Not true. We don’t talk about the southern spirit we talk of the western spirit.... the need to build and innovate. Where a man is a man and his word is his bond. Where it matters not what you have done or where you are from but rather what you are willing to do, what you are willing to stand for and fight for.

...plant the seeds for American democracy.
We're a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. America has democratic elements.
Christ was about liberty, the rule of law, consent of the governed and majority rule. Sovereignty came from God.
Again we're not a democracy which is all a democracy is.
If majority rule were the precept to be followed we would all be worshiping Moloch, Baal or some other false god.
“the South was right on everything but slavery”
That’s a pretty big “but” that will always muddy the water anytime anyone tries to discuss these kinds of things sensibly.
Nowhere else in the country comes close
Being southern is an identity from Texas and Oklahoma to whats left of Virginia
Anyone from here gets it.....as do plenty who move here.....it is truly a blessing to be American and from Dixie.......ironic we are the last to cling...bitterly i might add.....to the whats left of American traditional culture when we were once rebels basically.......funny how history unfolds
read the book agree with much of it find they reasonably document the question raised by Judge Hand concerning the 14th Amendment. and it’s constitutionality. Col. John Eidsmoe -in his works concerning our Constitution reference Judge Hand and Jaffree v. Mobile County,1983 ( p.134 n.2 Christian Legal Advisor.,John Eidsmoe Ed. Mott Media ,1984)compare to what the Kennedy’s wrote of the 14th Amendment.
If we could just keep the socialist northern transplants out. They are the cancer that kills....
the south today HAS moved from God
I live in Dixie now, and I tell ya, while people all say they love Jesus...and they DONT say that in the North, you would be hard pressed to see it in their lives
people who claim to be Baptists drink, smoke, sleep around, if you go to a singles website, all the BAPTIST women want to meet you in a bar for drinks first
soem insist on knowing what a good kisser you are first before they agree to date you.
Honest, I fell out laughing when I was asked that one, but it’s true, more than once. ( I kind of agree, but I would NEVER have said it that way)
But Bible Belt?
No, growign liberal Christianity. STILL, more Christianity than New England, I will admit, but Bible Belt??
stretch pants, more like.
In fact, in most of the Baptist Churches, about 40% of the congregation is all us Northerners. That was true of the 3 Baptist Churches I tied until I stayed in the last one for the last 18 months
We became Southerners in 2010 when we moved to Tennessee from California. We are so glad to be in the Bible Belt! I know it sounds backward, but the south is much more civilized than California, NY, etc., when it comes to the issues that matter in life.
Amen. I'm in Red Hampshire (spit), and the locals always cop an attitude when I make reference about 'returning to America' in a few months...New England and the south/midwest...two COMPLETELY different countries.
“the South was right on everything but slavery”
This constant association with the South and slavery pisses me off. The North had slavery, too, and Lincoln did not free the slaves, the 13th Amendment did.
The so called southern anthem was written and performed in New York city.
The symbol recognized around the world is the US flag.
Wealth was in owning another human being. How do you get around that?
A Southern man don’t need him around anyhow, ping
