We are all Freepers which means we are all conservatives. So much of what we say in these threads is all in good fun.:).

I am pretty old, (but not real old), so I am old enough to remember that my grandparents generation was very distrusting of carpet bagging northerners. The CW was the one most traumatic event in our nations history, and it may take another 150 years to truly quell the feelings.

Had a friend from Smith County Miss who had me down a couple times in the late 80s, early 90s.

It was like visiting a foreign country but a country I liked a hell of a lot.

My friend is dead now and I may not get down there again but I still feel the magic, history, the sad and stirring air of the place....not to mention the miracle of Junior’s Barbeque!
