Your list is selectively editted. You fail to include Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms and a former Democrat who launched his successful GOP primary bid with a “southern strategy” in Philadelphia, Mississippi, Ronald Reagan.
I, for one, am proud of my southern heritage
“Thanks. I agree that they have mostly died off, but conservatism had always been a southern staple even when it had a D by its name.”
Elvis, I was just going to tell you that you know it and I know it, and that any historian knows it as well (especially the Left which has always hated the South), but that there is now a noisy little band of South-bashers within the GOP dedicated to chirping their version of ignorance, the facts be damned.
We sure didn’t have to wait long for that to be demonstrated, lol.
True. I think South bashing is a favorite of the country club set who try to portray southerners as stupid, racist, rubes but when it’s time to court our votes, they’re drinving around in over-alls behind the wheel of a (rented) pickup truck.
Learn it.
“Democrats suck. Democrats have always sucked.
Learn it.”
