Show me some stats on that. How different is Atlanta from San Francisco? How is Miami different than New York? How is some rural county in Alabama different in terms of duty, honor and love of country than a rural county in Pennsylvania or Ohio?
Don't go patting yourself on the back too damn much. If you hung out where I do every day and claimed being southern made you a better American, you would likely find yourself lying flat on your back. Matter of fact, stop by my Legion post and tell the guys there how much more patriotic the south is.
Atlanta may have its urban ghetto parts like San Francisco, but unlike San Francisco it is not a hotbed of communist homosexual leftism. As evidenced by the Cynthia McKinney case, even democrat sections of Atlanta will throw out America-hating islamophiles. Per Barbara Lee and Nancy Pelosi, the same cannot be said of the cesspool on the bay.
How is Miami different than New York?
Well, a major urban population of Miami votes Republican, hates communism, is fiercely pro-American, and consistently elects conservatives like the Diaz-Balart brothers to Congress. By comparison, several major urban populations of New York vote Democrat, embrace communism, align politically with black and hispanic marxist organizations, such as those puerto rican terrorists and the atzlan crowd, and marxist individuals, such as Al Sharpton, and consistently elects america-hating left wing wackos like Charles Rangel to congress.
How is some rural county in Alabama different in terms of duty, honor and love of country than a rural county in Pennsylvania or Ohio?
Generally speaking, it is not. The same cannot be said, though, of either of those regions in comparison to rural Vermont.
