They can’t take it, can they?
So they must distort beyond recognition, while they deny plain truth staring at them.
A man of vast accomplishment, but some will only say, but what of “the baggage” and try to ignore away the accomplishment.
As to the South, when people from elsewhere demand that a southerner quit caring about the south, my answer is that southerners care about it, and don’t care that you don’t.
But the last time I checked, southerners were still a big, and very important, part of the United States.
Their votes are precious to me, as they had long been downtrodden before they rose again and must be reckoned with.
For the nation’s survivival and the defeat of Obama and pals, may Newt do the same.
