They don't want to be associated with us. They want to inflict their way of doing things on us so that we share in their misery.

You guys voted Dem 120 years straight. A lot of Roosevelt's new Dealism was possible because of the way you voted and is therefore your fault.
That's for sure. Being a northern born copperhead, two things really made an impression on me when I first moved to SC: (1) race relations were far better than in the north; (2) the roads were in much better condition than up north.
Now, since our 'trusted' Representatives have sold their souls and our liberties to the north, these things have gotten worse.
