The Southern United States is the most religious part of the country. The Southern United States has more military bases and has more veterans than any other part of the country. The South has more gun owners than any other part of the country. Be mindful of what you wish for, you clueless, God-bless hypocrites.

Well after CWII we will be able to rid ourselves of the Yankees who have moved here and now vote to try to turn us into the chitholes they left behind. :-)

This ‘journalist’ is simply stating, with more details, the same thing that Oprah said:

Paraphrased: “Old, White, Southerners have to die off.”

And who will invent and maintain all of the technology that everyone loves so well?

I’m starting to wonder if it might not be easier & less destructive (to us) if we should just become such a thorn in their side that they beg us to leave.

The shooting will start with some innocuous, seemingly unrelated event. When it does, these racist idiots will ask someone to protect them.

We’d be less violent, more mobile and in general more normal if not for Dixie.

Then let us go.

Were it not for “The South”, how would this little boy who wrote the article, enjoy his Coca-Cola??

Where else in the nation, does the climate exist, for that plant to grow, with that white fluffy stuff on it, that is spun to make the article author’s ‘tighty-whities’?

Where else in the nation, would have Louis Armstrong come from?

Where does bourbon come from? Kentucky!

Where did Gen. G.S. Patton train his troops, before going to Europe? Camp Beauregard (does that name ring a bell?), located in Pineville, Louisiana.

Which State has the most known name of a group of individuals, to uphold law and order, and is still a major force, today? The Texas Rangers.

If “The South” is so ‘bad’, why has the U.S. federal government, built FORT KNOX in Kentucky? Why wasn’t it built in some frozen State in the Northeast? Or near some ghost town, in the high desert of California?

The Mississippi River commercial traffic is a major artery, still today.

And what culture is a southerner supposed to aspire to? The metrosexuals of NYC? The dependent class of many northeast cities?

I’m good with secession and watching the liberal utopias fail. Miserably.

As someone who was born in northern Wisconsin, but has lived in Virginia for almost 40 years, I can only say,

Redskins should give a finger to DC and move where they are welcome.

This sounds so much like the Great Leap Forward (failure) and then Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (China 1966-1976)

Inventors from the South:

Waldo L. Semon invented useful polyvinyl chloride aka PVC or vinyl.

Here is a very simple solution to all the unhappy black people in America....go home to Africa or where ever your ancestors came from before they were sold to American slave owners. The U S government can pay for your transportation back to your homeland. If you don’t like this county.....then LEAVE.

[elpadre]

“...The article concludes with the hope that the South will be ethnically and culturally cleansed by immigrants from other countries and liberals relocating from other parts ...”

Well, that is happening as we speak. The Raleigh/Durham area could be renamed the “New-New England” as they have been moving to the area for years - Ditto Charlotte and Asheville.

[GOPJ]

...an amazingly racist and culturally bigoted article by contributing editor Michael Lind last Friday entitled, How the South Skews America, We’d be less violent, more mobile and in general more normal if not for Dixie.

Can we assume Susan Glasser has broken out the statistics for 'white Southerners' and 'black Southerners'?

Because just like Baltimore, Chicago, and DC - higher violence rates correspond to racial makeup of neighborhoods. (For those concerned this might be a dog whistle - I'm saying violence and crime rates for black communities are higher.)

[Conservative Gato]

Progressives, liberals or whatever statist name they call themselves these days need to be reminded every day that the progressive experiment in America has already been one huge failure.

They need to be reminded each day the trillions in debt they have foisted upon us and future Americans for generations to come for the big-government statist utopia they so fanatically believe in today.

This should be the conservative message is the big government progressive experiment has already failed and the truth is, it has. They are just so blind to their own failures but it bears repeating everyday and use Alinksy against them. But instead of repeating lies, it would be repeating the truth.

Anymore, when debating a liberal or progressive, I immediately go for the throat and explain the truth of their failures, which they have no real answer for.

The only GOOD progressive is a D...never mind!

[HotHunt]

I agree with your assertions without checking the veracity of them myself. What this author failed to mention in the Washington Post article is that the most violent cities are in the north, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, etc. And none of these places allow guns (snicker, snicker). What a pile of liberal poop this guy has piled up to rationalize why the US should get rid of the south.

Didn't the South try to separate itself from the union once before during the Civil War? Look how well that went.
