"I think the north looks down on the south and is still pissed. Get rid of the southern heritage flag and it will be something else."

Don't be lumping everyone from the north together. There are liberal elites in Manhatten who feel the way you are describing. But there are many more great Americans in the northern states who do not want to see any part of the country give up it's heritage to political correctness.

Also, I see some people in this thread referring to the south and clinging to their guns and religion. Let's remember who Obama was originally talking about. He was talking about people in my state, Pennsylvania. Not a southern state so don't think conservative values lie only in the south...

I understand that completely. I said up thread that there are good conservatives all over the country. I referred to the south as the bitter clingers because there seems to be more of them in the south. For the time being anyway. But they are dying out and political correctness is worming its way to every corner of the country. In another generation, the heritage and memories of the old south will be gone. But they (the ones who hate the south) don’t want to wait. They want it wiped from the memories of everyone now. I think it hads more to do with the way we vote than anything. If they can portray the southern people as inferior, then they can discredit us, our heritage, and hence our influence.
