“It could be an eye-opening experience.”
You couldn’t open the eyes of a NY Slimes staffer with a heavy-duty forklift.
Fave parts of the south are SW Louisiana (anywhere from Breaux Bridge to Lake Charles), most of Texas (the parts that aren't built on top of a swamp), and eastern Tennessee.
This is kinda funny. My ancestors were all Southerners (two Confederate soldier Great-grandpas) but most of my family went West after being burnt out by Yankees in THE War.
Big city types look at us rural folks anywhere in fly-over country the same way; we are backwards, slow talking, God fearing, church-going, and those moving here claim that they can fix things for us to make life better, if we would just rid of all those noisy running cattle about.
What a hoot! Last time I got poked that many times the army shipped me off to Korea. LOL.
Goodness knows how on earth Mississippi could have created such writers as William Faulkner and Eudora Welty, not to mention a Pulitzer Prize Winning playwright such as Beth Henley.
Kinda suggests that 'everyone in New York', at least in the writing world, is a goober!
Every Southerner knows there are 2 classes of Yankees.
There are the regular, garden variety who visit, express their disdain and leave.
Then there are the DAM Yankees who visit and never leave!
/s
Then again, maybe the dems/socialists/liberals should fear the South for another reason. Why? What if CWII goes down?
It's something to think about isn't it Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, etc..?

LOL! I have a friend up here in MA who tells me that with my accent, I could tell somebody to go to hell and they’d be happy to make the trip!
‘All your bigots are belong to us.’ NYT
Which is why they won't do it.
Ignorance is their natural state.
Yeah, after the 2004 elections, I overheard one of the Girl Scout leaders in town, one who most of the other women find extremely annoying as well, denigrating the voters down in "Jesusland". I would have engaged her in a lively discussion, were it not for the fact that the girls, who had been doing a 'flag disposal' ceremony, were coming back to join us.
“So, here’s my offer: I challenge the New York Times to send a reporter chosen at random, to spend a month here on our mountaintop in the Blue Ridge.”
Please don’t taint the state with a Slimes Reporter, otherwise, YOU all will have to get shots after he leaves.
“Heck yes there is a lot of bias against the South..Used to be a Yankee myself til i came South and saw the light..”
My dad was from Scarsdale, NY and met my mom while based in Albany, GA. They married in 1943 and remained so until his death in 2002. He loved going down to Albany and he was crazy about the south.
“The Democratic staffers took the shots
My first thought was Jack Daniels. Does that make me biased?”
No, but you might be a redneck, according to Foxworthy. LOL!
THese Washington, New York types have been cloistered for so long and have believed the stories about ‘fly-over’ country that this is where their thinking takes them. Then the liberal mind, once realized it is caught, begins to confabulate fictions such as....well, uh, they were going to the race track and the doctors go the clinic at the race track and they get immunized. That was their agreed-upon coverstory. Only someone asked if they went to the Yankees-Mets game would they recommend the same. NO ANSWER. These people up there are not only illinformed, they seem to be stupid. And they are running the halls of Congress? That New York-Boston-Washington bunch are as rude as any people I have ever seen. We actually have running water down here in Lufkin, Texas. Electricity too. What a ‘shocker’. Those sniveling bastards up there are out of touch with reality. Come on down to Texas. We are all ‘packing’. I’m sure that is what they think. What a bunch of goof balls. I have more degrees than a thermometer and those pricks don’t seem to get it...that Houston is the premier medical center in the world. We’ve got a little thing called NASA. We produce more refined petroleum products than they can shake a stick at, and frankly, we need to withhold shipping to them from December to January just to make them appreciate us. We produce more beef than any state. The New York Strip was named after Texas beef. Those folks would not know a tenderloin from a Chateaubriand. There is no difference if you pricks in Washington are looking it up now. We have better football, basketball, and....well not baseball than you yankees. After you finish looking at the Blue Ridge Mountains with Billybob, come on to Lufkin,...I’ll take you on a horseback ride...you won’t get mugged.....you can ride the stud horse and I’ll ride the mare (in season). You will enjoy the outdoor air. You won’t hear any horns honking here at the ranch. We even have air conditioning. Who would have thunk it? Uppity bastards.
Good job. It takes a lot to be civil simply to set a good example.
Contrast that with liberals...I have a picture of a leftist in Oregon defecating on a burning American flag, while people laugh in the background, one of them has kids with them.
Fine with me if the north think this, funny thing you never here of anyone retiring to the north. So they better stay up there where they are safe from our diseases. FITFLOL
Just so you can get to know me better...
You know you are from Georgia if . . .
1. You can properly pronounce Chickamauga, DeKalb, Dahlonega, and Smyrna.
2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.
3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in
the yard and look for a funnel.
4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by
the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.
5. Stores don’t have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggies.
7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
8. You measure distance in minutes.
9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.
10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.
11. You know cowpies are not made of beef.
12. Some one you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding
date.
13. You know someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.
14. You aren’t surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, beer, and
bait all in the same store.
15. A Mercedes Benz isn’t a status symbol. A Ford F350 Crew Cab is.
16. You know everything goes better with Ranch dressing.
17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.
18. You actually get these jokes and are “fixing’” to send them
to your friends.
19. You wanna go back to Georgia, where everything is normal. And
finally:
20. You are 100% Georgian if you have ever had this conversation: “You wanna coke?” ~ “Yeah.” ~ “What kind?” ~ “Dr Pepper.”
Then there’s my personal favorite, Shelby Foote.
And will gain at least ten pounds.
