I don't agree with everything, but I believe he is basically correct in that without the South and its values, this country would pretty much be a valueless, amoral, socialist hellhole filled with effete Frenchman-wannbees, Daddy-hating Metrosexuals, and feminist harridans on Xanax. That sense of duty and honor, central to the core of Southerners, is the only hope for America.

I agree. Regardless of the author's thoughts, I am honored by Webb's descriptions of the Scots-Irish. I'm from Virginia and know from my genealogical studies that my family was a significant part of the quiet Americans who built this great country into what it is today. John Kerry will never understand it.
