Shouldn't that sentiment be 'Virginian by Birth' or "Georgian by Birth' or something like that? What with all y'all placing state over country and all
I've said nor inferred nothing of the like. That's just how you choose to interpret it. I thank GOD I was born American and I especially thank GOD that he saw fit that I was born and reared in the South. I have a special affinity to the state and regional culture that I live in and personally think that there's not a better place on Earth to live, but I suspect most other folks feel the same way about their particular state/region/culture/heritage. If they don't, then sad for them. Don't ever question my love and patriotism for my nation just because I'm proud of my southern heritage and culture. Thanks.
