If northern liberals and their southern collaborator allies were not trying to force this new one generation old warped view of Southern heritage on us down here we would be perfectly fine to let sleeping dogs lie. We long ago came home to the Union but that doesn't not mean we will EVER reject our kin....NEVER....would you? I hope not.
But the PC forces at work want to extinguish all Southern regional pride and demonize my ancestry.
What would you do under the same pressures?
We have no choice....especially when these same folks are the enemy on every other cultural issue in our time. Scratch a South basher and you find very little real conservativism and a whole lot of identity based ideology.
The fact that some FReepers join in this PC revision chorus is not very encouraging.
We are defending out heritage...good or bad.
I know of no Southerner wishing to push our views on Southern heritage on others. It's our's anyhow. Non-Southerners are welcome to move on to getting cranky over Indian affairs or mistreating immigrants or some other cause to latch on to.
It is interesting the same "might makes right" crowd shows up on other FR threads. They claim the high moral crowd and look down their noses at the Southerner conservatives they seem to drag around like a weight on their ankle.
The "rent-a-mob" group is nothing more than thinly disguised wolves in sheeps clothing: money hungry, globalists who care for little else.
one of the MAIN reasons for secession was that the DYs just wouldn't "tend their own patch" & leave dixie & her people ALONE.
they still WON'T!
