So do we but due to our rather large hearts...we have some room leftover for our regional homeland....that and the fact that an extraordinary percentage of Southerners have deep and old roots here....more so than perhaps anywhere else in the USA sans New Hampshire and Maine.

Shame you're such an antagonist on this thread about something which is really none of your business, cause you have a great homepage I would otherwise admire.

There is nothing we dislike more domestically than do gooder smug Yankees telling us how and what to do when those same Yankees are oblivious to their own social, cultural, and political shortcomings (see a big chunk of quite segregated and impoverished and politically corrupt Chicago)....ironically, your stance on Southern Culture places you directly in that very camp. Have fun!

...the fact that an extraordinary percentage of Southerners have deep and old roots here...

Then, Haley Barbour's language should be about The South, or the Southern Culture, not about an unconstitutional insurrection. That's all.
