No, I don't. Who's "most people"? Most of the people you know? The SCV members? But they are already among the converted, presumably. I am talking about his appeal to the wider world, and there, I must tell you, he is not as persuasive as he might be if his skills as a writer, diplomat, public speaker, and teacher were more developed. All Southern heritage groups need someone more cultured to show the rest of society the validity of their ideas and goals.
It's apparent that we travel in different circles. I'm interested in persuading middle America and the better-educated that Southern heritage is worth preserving, while Bowling appeals principally to the SCV membership. To be frank, this short-sightedness is what prevents too many Southern heritage groups from successfully evangelizing, so that they will continue to be unfairly considered kooks and racists.
