I read the editorial, and was very heartened.
The writer either doesn’t know why Appalachia turned it’s back on Leftism, or, more likely, is lying, even to himself.
I like those kinds of lies.

Wow. THey have to dig back before the Mediacracy took control of the country.
Think of what the Mediacracy has pushed since then:
Destruction of the Second Amnedment
Destruction of the Education system
Destruction of individual responsibility (Great Society Programs)
Federal takeover of all building and manufacturing via the EPA and OSHA
Destruction of the right to free assembly and equal protection under the law (affirmative action and the imposition of anti-discrimination laws to private actors)
Roe v. Wade
There are lots more.

Oh backcountry. Campgrounds bah.
