today WORKING with one's hands is "looked down on" by the "elites".
fwiw, i've had peers of mine on the campus who disdained me because i do woodworking/boat-building/antique restoration as a HOBBY!

I live in Fairfax County in VA. This county voted republican in a presidential race for the first time in 1964. Fairfax county voted republican for all the races since until 2004. In 2004 fairfax county voted democratic again. The demographics of the county have been shifting.
The writer of this article is an old time southern democrat—without the racial overtones.
You told me you like me this way. *twitch*
Being able to count to 17 without taking your shoes off is cool.
I respect that.
Flattery will get you nowhere.
Agreed.
Being able to recount all branches of your family tree with a single surname isn't what it used to be.
I grew up in South Georgia during the 30s and 40s. My folks were sharecroppers. We were poor as church mice, but didn’t know it. Mom and my sisters spent the summer canning 3,000 quarts of veggies and fruits to carry us thorough the winter. In November we killed 13 hogs for meat for the winter after it being smoked in the smokehouse for several weeks. We walked miles to school, but came home and picked cotton in August until it was all in.
This guy says “I’ll knock the far outa that no-count scandal,” I could say with native syllabically padded fluency. Fire. Of no account. Scoundrel. Well, in my day we wouldda said “I will knock the peewaddling sh** outta you or “I will stomp a mudhole in your a** and walk it dry. Is this guy really a southerner?

You refer, I assume, to the presence of Yankees in our midst...
Some yankees are ok, but yes. The blacks went north, and the yankees came south. All in all, we got the short end of the deal.
Did I ever tell you that you’re adorable?
;-)
I hear that you’ve begun listening to country music every day following Rush.
:-D
give me the WORST of native-born southerners ANY DAY over the LOUD-mouthed, LEFTIST, arrogant, DYs, who have invaded our county in the last few years!!!
ONE of these loudmouths (from CT) recently started a "crusade" to OUTLAW smoking in one's own HOME, as it "might offend someone, who smells the smoke"!!!
