I love it when the anti-Dixie Freepers bring up the fact that the South voted for Carter in 1976. That’s the only presidential election in the past forty years where the South voted mostly for the Democrat (who ran as a conservative, by the way), and they dredge it up. It doesn’t bother them that the Northeast voted mostly Democrat in most of the elections during that same time frame, including the past four elections where they voted almost unanimously Democrat. The fact that the South did so once, thirty years ago, is unforgivable and proves Dixie should be tossed aside by the Republicans.
The white vote in Dixie from men like me and our spouses is all that keeps them nation from falling off the abyss...us and Indiana and Utah and Idaho.
and southerners like me are the most derided anyhwere...even here...go figure
one thing you learn around here despite all the talk about truth and reason and pragmatism and ideology....
is that folk’s opinions are shaped laregly by where they come from, what they are and their view of God.....the facts are shaped by folks to suit those notions more than standing on their own empiricism.
scratch underneath here and you see opinions that reflect what people are
