These social moderate PC conservatives excite me about as much as anal fissures.
They resent us because they are jealous of our community ....our bond.
Anywhere you go in the world, if you meet an American from Dixie, it’s just amazing the familiarity....sense of belonging to a shared culture beyond just being an American...which is pretty good already.
only thing that tops that is if you are from Texas maybe...but that’s Dixie too.
ROTFLOL! That was funny. ;o)
I totally agree with your assessment.
I haven't lived in the South for the past 15 years.
Yet, when I meet someone from there out here, it's like old home week.
We, generally, understand each other, and it gives me a good feeling...
like putting on a well broken in pair of slippers.
My in-laws are from Texas, and you hit that nail on the head, too.
But, I don't think it tops the South, though.
They are pretty much the same, IMO.
Ain't that the truth? It is like old home week when you meet fellow Southerners. There is a feeling of kinship, respect, and down home graciousness. Nothing like coming home to Dixie after a trip - the grandaddy oaks, the sweet smell of orange blossoms.....
There's an old Hank song called Dixie Cannonball:
I'm a headin' back to Dixie
That's the place I want to be
Where the cotton grows and the Suwanee flows
That's home sweet home to me
Where they meet you and they greet you
With a great big "Hi Y'all!"
Shut my mouth, I'm a headin' South
On the Dixie Cannonball!
I'm a southern social conservative who happens to think that the CSA stunk and the best day ever for southerners was when our Union army broke the slaveowners yoke that was on the neck of the hardworking southern people.
I love this quote from a Unionist Alabama man who had the slave empire figured out:
"All tha want is to git you...to fight for their infernal Negroes and after you do their fightin' you may kiss their hind parts for o tha care."
