I do not see the gulf you are speaking of between rural Northerners and Southerners, at least not in political ideology. Sure our customs are different, but that is a small consideration in the big picture and faced with an opposition in the Obamatons who will not care whether someone is from the North, South, or West, just that we are conservatives and will resist them.

Regarding Red State vs. Blue State, if we go by the last election then parts of the Old South are already lost: Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida. In your haste to condemn all the blue state citizens for whom the majority of the voters chose, you are cutting off a huge chunk of those who would support conservative values and condemning them to a life of hell under Obama and his minions.

Will you do the same if your own state eventually goes blue? Or will you leave your home and family and friends and flee to a red state or even another country if things come to worse?

My point is that all real Americans are in this together whether we yet realize it or not. The left will make no distinction between us based on regional affiliation so neither should we. We (conservatives) are all in this together, and we will share the same fate be it descent into socialism or a rebirth of the Republic.

BTW, I am originally from New York state (small town), but now live in Oklahoma so I suppose my state does have quite a bit in common with yours.

fyi, TX will NEVER "go BLUE". not now, not tomorrow, not ever.

come the DAY of SECESSION, we southerners (i believe) will be overwhelmed with northerners headed south, just as what happened when North & South Korea were partitioned.(hopefully, a LOT of "fair weather southerners" & "transplants" will also head NORTH about the same time.)

i do NOT condemn the CONSERVATIVES from "up there" for ANYTHING except staying!!! (Eva/Ari are you ladies listening???)
