It was more than a "nice try," it hit your sorry persona dead on the mark.
You talk like that about your fellow countrymen and it's only right that someone rebukes you for it.
Your cult is the stupidest of the stupid and you disgrace your fine region. If I meet a German who goes on and on about how horrible France is and blames all his country's faults on France, or a Frenchmen who can't stop talking about how horrible Britain or America is, I've met someone who doesn't know his own people's history, but only has a stupid, self-pitying, self-justifying tale of victimization to justify abuse.
If I come across a Southerner who goes on and on about how horrible the Yankee is, I know I haven't met someone who's thought very long or very deeply about Southern or American history. I'd say the same thing if I came across a Northerner who couldn't stop running down the South.
But people like that are rarer than you think. Rather it's neoconfederates who rant about how Northerners hate Southerners as a preface to attacking the North. On the whole, the rest of the country -- and the rest of the South -- isn't as obsessive as you clowns.
