Every year the Fourth of July is marked by ringing affirmations of American exceptionalism. We are a special nation, uniquely founded on high ideals like freedom and equality. In practice, however, much of what sets the United States apart from other countries today is actually Southern exceptionalism.

this definitely got my “Southern” up - are the progs asking us to secede? ‘cuz it might work this time, ha ha!
> I plan on moving south after the successful completion of civil war II.
We accept no West Coasters, particularly southern Californians, Illinoisans, or NE quadranters unless they display non-Yankee traits. If you voted for Obama twice, absolutely no admittance...:)
:-)
Gooolly, I wundr how that thar cud be mabee caws us ignerint ole sutherners aint got anuf ejikashun?
Or could it just be possible that the stats are skewed by the higher percentage of non-white citizens in the south compared to that of the other states?
Naw, it's got ta be cawze us foks down here aint got nuff ejikshun soz usins yuzly votes fer uther foks kinder lik us awl
Thank you, a picture is worth a thousand words and in this case is a real eyeopener.
God, these people hate America.
New Deal liberalism?
There was nothing liberal about the New Deal!
(Unless by “liberal” they mean statist)
That's a pretty definitive conclusion to draw from a mere subjective interpretations of empirical evidence. The Liberalectuals consistently present their subjective interpretations of observables as proof of scientific fact.
Excellent post my fellow American!
> Thank you, a picture is worth a thousand words and in this case is a real eyeopener.
You can spot a faggot from a thousand paces. They just have that “look” and if you watch their eyes follow boys rear ends and crotches it confirms it. Sick, vile, and disgusting creatures.
One guy was telling me, on and on, about how much better thing were, where he was from that I finally interrupted him and asked 'so why did you move here ?' Well he says crime was so bad we weren't safe even in our home. BooHoo.
Hey, this is a wonderful article! And there is an obvious solution to the author’s dilemma: an amicable divorce between the South and the rest of the country. It’s time has come!
The violence is concentrated in the liberal cities
The author can KISS MY GRITS !!
Tennessee Twinkie here.
Well..........bless his heart.
The city I live near should be in the top ten murder cities BUT.
The Feds merged that cities crime stats with a nearby suburban town so the fore-mentioned liberal city would look so bad...
“White Southerners are more likely than white northerners to respond to insults with increased testosterone and aggression, according to social scientists. According to the FBI in 2012, the South as a region, containing only a quarter of the population, accounted for 40.9 percent of U.S. violent crime.”
What they fail to mention is that ‘Southern States’ have very, very, high Negro populations. That is where the crime stats come from!
Um, the southern states have a relatively high population of a group that cannot be identified any more that skews crime rates to the high side.
South is cheap and has great weather. The only thing that the South needs to do to improve themselves is stop taking more federal welfare then they give. That is really the only negative that the South has. They can’t survive without the federal government which is a shame. I think they can work on that though. It would be difficult because their taxes are very low which is another reason why the Northerners come down. The homes are sold at a high price and they come down South and buy a mansion for what a town house costs up North. Pensions that employees get are higher in the North and get more purchasing power in the South. The Weather is number one reason people relocate....it does wonders for arthritis and other ailments.
We fought a war to get away from people like you, Mr. Lind, but y’all loved us so much y’all fought to keep us. Go figure. I say, “To Arms!” If we don’t do something, this whole country is going down the toilet.
