Maybe I unfairly misread the cultural comments you have made over the months on the FR, but Espinola, in your constant ignorant stereotypical slurs against southern people in general, you suggest that you have the typical backward provincial hick-town mentality that distrusts and denigrates anything and anybody unfamiliar. The redneck mindset lives everywhere.
Overlooking the unfortunate number of people holding the defective leftist worldview in certain blue state regions, my thesis is that Americans are generally the same in substance everywhere. In the United States, the differences between North and South are superficial compared to the differences between us and the outside enemies of the nation. The great Lincoln did not save the Union so that narrow-minded Northeasterners could look down on the South and the superficials of its culture.
The threats to the country & the Western World you speak of are very real,and must be dealt with swiftly, prior to further outbreaks of multiple 9-11 style mass murders by the Jihadist enemy.
I believe you understand there are those determined to continue the fight for their 'lost cause' and seek every opportunity to attack anyone from the 'north', coupled with those not in total accord with somehow reversing the outcome of the Civil War. My comments were geared to that element, since I am well aware not everyone born or living in the South shares such views.
