Fuck the South

1. Only craven yellow bellies write anonymously…

   If you haven’t the courage of your convictions or a true belief in what you say, then sit down and shut up you moral and intellectual coward !!!

2. News flash -The north had just as many slaves as the south,we also had and I repeat we had more black soldiers fighting on our side than the north,the war was not about slavery.(that is what the north made up to make it look good on paper and in text books)You people will twist any and everything to get a vote.You are so rediculous that you are letting the Muslims build a mosgue at ground zero(what a slap accross the faces of those families who lost their loved ones) you are pathetic libs who are afraid to stand up and fight for anything moral because you are afriad that someone GOD forbid might call you racist.We on the other hand do not and will not back down and/or be bullied by the like of other countries and anyone who does not like our moral values.

3. In addition to having a real potty mouth problem, this author is ignorant of his history. The majority of founding fathers including Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Henry were southeners from Virginia.

4. Allow me to say a few words on behalf of my Southern friends, and perhaps, on behalf of those living in other “red states,” as well as on behalf of “red state” individuals like myself who live in “blue states” – all of whom you have so thoroughly insulted.

   Wow! Mr. “Anonymous” is going to kick my ass? How courageous. Given the fact that you’ve chosen to hide behind an “anonymous” screen name, I’m not exactly shaking in my boots!

   Ok, Mr. Anonymous, now hear this. Throughout the “Civil War”, many Southerners repeatedly stated “All we ask is to be left alone.” Of course, a lot of people from states like yours just couldn’t understand what those words meant. So let me lay it out for you, albeit 150 years too late:

   Keep your gay marriage. You can marry another guy, or your dog, or your pet mongoose for all I care. Just don’t tell me I have to allow it where I live.

   Keep your precious Yankee dollars. We don’t need your money to buy stop signs. We’ll build our own thank you, and we’ll include a brand new sign as well, one which will be placed at our states’ borders and which will be directed at people like you and which will say, “KEEP OUT!”

   Don’t like the 10 commandments? Fine – you can stick up a picture of a golden calf in your statehouse or a picture of Donald Duck or a picture of Paris Hilton for all I care. Just don’t tell me what I may or may not put up in my statehouse.

   Don’t like our Confederate flags? No one says you have to like them. You don’t live here so it should, in theory at least, be none of your concern. While it always seems that folks like you feel compelled to order Southerners not to fly their Confederate flags, I have yet to hear of any Southerners telling “northeast liberal elites” to take down that statue of the greatest barn burner in history (General Sherman) from Union Square. And given the difference in temperaments between the two peoples, I don’t expect that I will be seeing the latter any time soon either.

   Don’t lecture us about the Constitution. We are quite fond of it and its amendments, or at least the amendments that were written by the Founding Fathers. The first amendment, for example, is what keeps us free and you won’t find many people in red states advocating for the scrapping of it or for government control of free speech. You will find that sort of crap however, emanating from the blue states, from, yes, those “northeast liberal elites” who are simply too dense to realize that tyranny cannot ever exist in a place where freedom of speech is a jealously guarded right. And yes, we are even willing to tolerate the verbal diarrhea of those like you in order to protect that right and to remain free. We also believe strongly in the 10th amendment. Go look it up and see if your petty little mind can comprehend what it says. And we also believe that the Constitution is to be taken literally. This belief differs markedly from the interpretation of “northeast liberal elites” who seem to feel that it is a “living breathing document,” which can be interpreted any which way that suits them at whatever time.

   And don’t lecture us about the American Revolution and about how you founded this country. If we had left it all to you guys, we’d all be drinking tea and gulping down crumpets today. And Jamestown Virginia, for your information, preceded Plymouth by 13 years – go read a history book. And oh, let me give you two words to ponder in regards to the Revolution, “George Washington.” (He happened to be from Virginia, by the way). So by all means, keep your Plymouth Rock. You can fasten it to a chain, wrap it around your neck and hurl yourself into Nantucket Sound for all we care. We’ve got enough of our own history to keep us busy.

   “We should have let them go when they wanted to leave”? Yes, you should have. But it simply isn’t in your nature. If left alone, you would have no one to lecture, no one to intimidate, no one to bully, no one to badger, no one to look down your noses at, no one to tell how to live their lives, and no one to hurl your 4 letter word insults at. In short, you would wither and die, because those are the things that keep you “northeast liberal elites” going. They are the things which give meaning to your droll little lives and which make you who and what you are. Do you really want to know what the true cause of the Civil War was? Go look in the nearest mirror and you’ll see it staring back at you.

   Still want to let us go? It’s not too late. There are, I think, many in the Southern states and in the “red” states in general, who would gladly say “adios” to those of your ilk. Just show us where to sign and it’ll be a done deal.

5. 48 – “Oh, and show some balls by putting your name on the rant.”

   Um, that’s kind of funny, “proudfromsouth.” Maybe you should take your own advice first?

6. Some time the truth hurts. I love it!

7. I thought it was funny, but what’s even funnier is how many people got bent out of shape over it. Good thing we’re not standing on a playground; there’d be pushing and bitch slappings galore.

8. “Um”, first of all Mr. “DJDEEJAY,” the author of this screed is a writer for what purports to be an online publication. The norm is that writers for such publications usually give their names. And second, I really don’t think that “DJDEEJAY” is your legal name, so practice what you preach. Sorry if my rant offends you….”um”…but on second thought, I’m not sorry at all.

9. This guy is crazier than they people who voted for Obama!!!!

   Many of the founding fathers were from Virgina and last I checked that was not a New England state.

   Fighting for slavery? Are you serious? I’d send this out anonymous too if I was a history illiterate who only knows the “Liberal New England ” version of the war. I suppose he knows nothing of the uncosntitutional tariffs and other economic issues that caused the War Between the States.

   Since I am a Southerner with some class I can make my points with out using offensive language too!!!!!

10. Hmmm… to all those saying that the writer needs to put their name on it…

    It’s from “fuckthesouth.com”, and I’m willing to bet that at this point, no-one knows who the actual author is. Thus, it’s attributed to anonymous.

    He’s absolutely 100% correct about the red states getting handouts while they bitch about the blue states getting them – while all the time, the blue states are the ones paying the freight though.

11. “Hmmm….” If you place the bet that no one knows who the actual author is, you just might lose. Look at this page on “The Stranger”‘s website and you’ll see that there is a whole page of articles by “mr anonymous”. In fact, at the top it says “Articles by Anonymous.”

    http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Autho…

    Odd that the editor’s email address is on top. Maybe he wrote it? In any case, I seriously doubt that this is a one shot deal by some unknown author. Judging from the number of articles, it appears that someone is going under a pen name. No matter.

    Talk to the folks in the red state about those “freight” charges. Chances are, if you’d agree to leave them alone, they’d happily give you back any money you’ve already forked over, and, with interest.

12. After years of reading The Stranger and Savage online, you have finally gotten me to register. GO FUCK YOURSELF. I am from Texas. Which is part of the south. And yes, we have some crazies here. DO NOT PRESUME TO JUDGE ME. DO NOT PRESUME TO JUDGE THE SOUTH. There are good people here. Educated people People working to advance this country and all the good it stands for, including womens, immigrant, and gay rights. I am tired of all the bigots treating us like idiots based on the actions of the extremists. Me and other like-minded individuals work hard to create a liberal, open environment for all to live in in this great state of ours. Your generalizations do a disservice to all of us. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

13. So three founding fathers were from the south…oooo How impressive. Ben Franklin, Sam Adams, and Paul Revere. See how easy that was. Next, most of the major battles of the War of Independence were fought in the North. Boston Tea Party, which you tea party fools named yourself after, where did that take place again? We’re just as american as you red-staters and we’re not gonna take being called traitors for wanting health care reform, an end to our foreign wars, or gay marriage. It was cute for 8 years, but we’re over it now.

    Next, We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

    Reread that over and over and over again, until the message sinks in.

14. The article makes a good point that southerners ignore because of all the F bombs and thinly veiled threats, the worst of which is giving them what they want. Don’t like paying taxes? Want to let the corrupt anti-union corperations buy and sell the people of your state? Think that free enterprise will keep your freeways from crumbling and your electricity affordable? That’s ok. Give it a try. We’ll keep paying our taxes and our union dues. We’ll just watch while you try that out. I’ve already seen the conservative utopia. It is a place where there is no gun control, women’s rights, and attendance of religious services is mandatory. There is no pesky government regulation of banks, labor unions, or commie health care. Everybody smokes, nobody drinks, and the government is run by religious fundimentalists. Most people call this place Iraq, and you can have it because I would rather live in America.

15. God Damn! I haven’t laughed so hard in a while. Great stuff! Forwarding it to many people.

16. You’re an ignorant bigot. While ALL my ancestors are Southern I would never say ” f**k the North”. Also it’s important to understand that as far as the Founding Fathers were concerned many of them if not the majority were Southern! For instance George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Patrick Henry, George Mason, Benjamin Harrison, “Light Horse” Harry Lee, Richard Henry Lee, Francis Lee etc. Next it’s also important to under stand that The U.S.A. was founded in the South at Jamestown,Virginia in 1607 that’s 13 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock! Next as far as the slave trade is concerned it couldn’t have taken place without all those Yankee merchant ships! It’s also important to remember that approximently 300,000 WHITE Southerners fought for the Union in the Civil War as a matter of fact every “Conferderate” state, with the exception of South Carolina, produced a battalion of troops for the Union Army including an entire cavalry regiment from Alabama the 1st Alabama Cavalry, USA(read Lincoln’s Loyalists by Richard Current)! Abraham Lincoln was a Southerner, birth and childhood in Kentucky his parents were born and raised in Kentucky and his grandparents were from Virginia,Lincolns 2nd V.P. Andrew Johnson was born and raised in North Carolina and was elected Governor of and Senator from Tennessee and appointed Military Governor of Tennesse, the man who saved the high ground at Gettysburg,Union Cavalry General John Buford, had the SAME background as Lincoln. Arguably the best General the Union had was George Henry Thomas, the Rock of Chickamauga(read Master of War by Benson Bobrick)!The 3 best Presidents on Civil Rights have all been Southerners. Lincoln (see above)who freed the slaves, Harry S Truman (who came from Kentuckians who settled in Missouri) desegregated the Armed Services and public accomodations in Washington, D.C. and Lyndon Johnson (from the Hill Country of Texas)who was responsible for pushing through the 1957 Civil Rights act, the 1964 Civil Rights act and the 1965 Voting Rights act!Also the most successful Civil Rights leader ever, The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born and raised in Georgia! And finally (whew!) the highest per capita service in the Armed Services, ethnically speaking, are the Scots-Irish the vast majority of whom are(stop if you’ve heard this before!)SOUTHERN! This is not to say I hate northerners (go into the hills of New Hampshire and Vermont or the backwoods of Maine or southern Ohio and they will BEND YOUR EAR on the subject of gun rights, God bless ’em!) I’m just saying that you sir are an IGNORANT BIGOT!

17. Made my day. I often daydream about what a great nation this would be if the south had seceded. They could have their own little nation of inbred porch-monkeys and we’d have a nation with a MUCH higher average IQ. One can but dream…

18. I find the illustration offensive. Why not draw Sambo’s and asians with gigantic teeth?

19. Yeah I love this rant, I remember I first saw it right after Bush won (stole?) re-election in 2004. The Stranger published it in a very pissed, sad issue, right after election.
    Liberals need to be more aggressive against these hateful, paranoid, christian-hypocrite, jingoistic, arrogant, teabagger-friendly right wingers, like this writer

20. I am often embarassed by the extremists and oddlots who don’t seem to have noticed that the South (in which I live and am from) lost and, in that, lost any room to foment new revolution. At the same time, victors could try and be a little gracious to an area of our country which has remained, largely, impoverished and criminally ignorant since the aftermath of the civil war. Perhaps with American factories and production being shipped abroad or being unable to compete with third world labor, the rest of our nation might learn how difficult it is to reinvent a way of being nationally and globally successful. Most of my friends and I are able, after years of effort, can watch tv without moving our lips. And some of us are die-hard democrats more fearful of Republican big business politics than we are of liberal democrats who attempt to ameliorate the condtion of our growing underclass.

21. WOW—-I feel sorry for Southern Democrats!!
    How do you folks survive through all that racism, corruption and bass-ackward ignorance?

    And no, I’m not being flippant. I went through basic military training in Orlando, Florida, and technical school in Meridian, Mississippi, where the KKK, 25 years after the Civil Rights Movement, proudly marched through fields, forests, and everybody’s backyards.

    And after the four months of my rigorous training was up, gracious Southern hospitality or no gracious Southern hospitality, I COULD NOT WAIT TO RETURN TO MY NATIVE PACIFIC NORTHWEST before reporting to my duty station in California.

    In my opinion, a lot of lawmaking and beliefs down there were, and still are—just plain sad.

22. @72: Lord have mercy!

    I couldn’t have said it better myself.

23. Well I did see the humorous truth in some of that rant, I had to stop reading it because I just got so fucking sick of reading more fucking expletives added for no other fucking reason than to fill fucking space because the fucking author was too fucking stupid to learn some new fucking adjectives to sprinkle through his fucking opinion. I hope it ended well, but I just couldn’t fucking bother to continue reading.

24. Well I did see the humorous truth in some of that rant, but I had to stop reading it because I just got so fucking sick of reading more fucking expletives added for no other fucking reason than to fill fucking space because the fucking author was too fucking stupid to learn some new fucking adjectives to sprinkle through his fucking opinion. I hope it ended well, but I just couldn’t fucking bother to continue reading.

25. Not only was this op-ed poorly written and researched, but it made me ashamed to share a political party with such a hypocritical and close-minded individual.

26. I am from, and currently live in, the deep South. I and my friends are progressive, open-minded, and stand up to the racism and homophobia that we encounter on a daily basis.

    That said, this rant IS RIGHT-THE-FUCK-ON! I live in the South because I love the weather and I stay to the big cities because the red-state rednecks scare the shit out of me. I consider leaving all the time, but there are some bonuses to living here… just can’t think of any besides the weather right now.

    I’m reposting this for my friends.

27. People who are now just reading this and commenting think about the time it was written: late 2004. Just after two years of having that whole “us here in the Red States are the REAL AMERICANS” shoved in our (Blue States) faces ad nauseum. Kerry was constantly accused of someohow being not a “real” American because he was from Mass. (you know, where the Boston Tea Party happened?) and Bush was somehow a “real American” because he came from Texas (you know, a state where the US flag is just the latest of many?). There was a certain irony there.

    Then, those statistics came out which are still basically accurate. Red States do tend to take more federal dollars and have higher divorce rates. But hey, they are the REAL Americans!

28. Its my money, not the governments. And just to let you know, where I was born, Chicago, those Northers dumb Yankees built that on a swamp also. Long Live the South. DEO VINDICE.
    Ooooh, and you said you were going to come kick my ass if I said Its my money, not the governments. Well, I diddnt say it, but I typed it. And I would say it to your face and you can try and kick my ass, Mr. All talk. But I doubt you will do it. All the times in my life I have gotten told I was gunna get my ass kicked, it never happened. My e-mail address is b.l_enterprises@comcast.net
    If you want to arrange time and date for you to come to Chicago to try and kick my ass. Right before Ill tell you that its my money and not the governments. LOL, I diddnt see your government at my job today doing my job. I saw me there. I dripped sweat, not ur government. It was my balls that were sweating, not theirs. Yes, Its mine.

29. What a bunch of ignorant elitist liberal assholes, maybe you should read a fucking book that comes from the source slavery was only a small reason for the civil war. The biggest one was President Lincoln the fascist that he was sent the federal army into the southern states to impose his will and stomp all over states rights. For another thing all the people in the pacific North West practice liberal fascism think my way or you’re a bigot and a racist, we call names because we are not smart enough to argue the points. I guess it must be all that dope that you dopes smoke. Oh and fuck you all and your fucking mother to.

30. Beautiful. (wipes tear from eye) I mean, fucking beautiful. (sobs, runs off stage screaming “FUCKYEAH!”)

31. Regarding the civil war: It was either North or South Carolina (I don’t remember at the moment) who first seceded from the Union, as a direct response to the election of Abraham Lincoln, who had founded the Republican (!) party on an anti-slavery platform (again, !). The state then issued a declaration explaining why they felt that the Union was a contract and that the federal goverment had breached that contract. Literally every single reason that they gave had to do with slavery, either directly or indirectly.

    Lincoln went to war specifically to preserve the union. That was his one goal at the start of the war. He only gave a shit about slaves later on, when it becamse clear that he needed to give the public a reason to keep supporting the war.

    What does all this mean? It means that 1) if you are saying that slavery didn’t have anything to do with the Civil War, then you are wrong, and 2) if you are saying that the Civil War was all about slavery, then you are wrong as well. There are many factors that went into the war and if you are generalizing either side then you’re probably ignorant. Or a twat. ‘Grats.

    More food for thought: It wasn’t until roughly the early-middle part of the 20th century that our nation’s political map looked the way that it does now; most red states were blue and vice-versa. This was especially true in the South, where basically every state south of the mason-dixon was run by Democrats. I’m not too clear on the causes of this flip; Zinn glossed over it in People’s History, which probably means it was inconvenient to his narrative.

    @4: I’m going to have to throw up the bullshit flag on that one. If I understand that post correctly, you are saying that you suffered discrimination because you are southern and in the military; the military is QUANTIFIABLY the most trusted institution in this country right now and has been for at least fifteen years. Furthermore, if you suffered any discrimination from being southern, it most definitely was not from the military itself, because the military is laughably pro-South. So, basically, you must have been doing it wrong.

    A word on northern hate for the south: They probably wouldn’t get hated on so much if the south wasn’t represented by a bunch of racist, idiotic and unfaithful politicians.

32. @80: “a book that comes from the source” means, “a book that happens to support my opinion.” Look, chumley, slavery was the ONLY “right” that the Southern states were pissed about getting “stomped all over”, and up until the election of Abraham Lincoln, the Northern states had bent over backwards to let them keep doing it.

    Calling Abraham Lincoln a Fascist is profoundly stupid. At no point has it ever been a right of the states to secede from the union. As for slavery being a right, fine, it probably was. I’ll give you that. However, I’d like to think that if I knew someone who had a legitimate right to do something as ethically repugnant as enslaving someone against their will, I’d put a stop to it as well.

    Finally: way to respond to some angry, unwarranted generalizations with more of the same. Rise again, peanut.

33. As for participation in the Revolutionary War, actually, as many important battles occurred in the South, Carolinas mostly, as those which are selectively presented in our texts. One of the three generals of the Southern campaign was Robert Howe, a North Carolinian. George Washington was not even involved in a major campaign from 1778-81 while those battles were occurring . (Srce: Page Smith’s A New Age Begins, a two-volume text that is an excellent American education tome. He was a Marylander and studied under the renowned historian Samuel Eliot Morison at Harvard.)

    A note about slavery and scapegoating the South: Much of the world in the 17th 18th & 19th centuries and before, was tainted by slavery, including Africans who sold their own people. New York leaders were against the Civil War because there were so many who were profiting from the slave trade. In fact Mayor Fernando Wood proposed that Manhattan become an independent island nation, its cotton trade intact. Because these people have had so much wealth, they have managed to whitewash their ugly involvement while scapegoating Southerners who often were mostly hardworking poor farmers (2/3’s of Southerners in South did not own slaves), who could not defend themselves as being less culpable than the rich Northerners.
    http://www.inthesetimes.com/article/2457…

    Among the slave profiteers who have hidden how they acquired their wealth and power carried into present day: Tiffany, J. P. Morgan, Lehman Brothers, et al, the usual culprits, note J.P.M. & Lehman Bros.’ involvement in the recent economic debacle. The leading slave trading family in the U.S. was the DeWolf family (over 50 yrs and 3 generation 1769-1820 of Rhode Island)- DeWolf reported to be the wealthiest man in America upon his death in 1837); another was the Brown family also of Rhode Island. This is a breathtaking revelation of the truth about Northern involvement: http://www.tracesofthetrade.org/guides-a…

    Re: racism, sexism, etc. In my long life I’ve seen this throughout America. The more vulnerable we feel, the more we shut down and act ugly, often against our own better angels. We need to find common ground and fight the real enemy, exploiters, and not be exploiters ourselves. The beginning is to work together to conserve so that we can develop our own wealth and independence from the greedy.

    There is much to be angry about. There are some very good comments that reveal real history that it appears many are not reading. I add this: Our country was founded on strong influences of the Scottish Enlightenment (origin of the word liberal, so twisted today. Read “How the Scots Invented the Modern World” by Harvard grad, many Southerners from this tradition, but also Northerners.)

    A proud Southerner.

34. @ 83 ok you hold on to that lie tight and maybe it will become true for you, how about the fact that the federal troops invaded certain states to force their will on them and other states seeing the injustice of the invasion, joined with their brothers. I wonder how you would feel if federal troops marched on Washington state, all to take all you possessions’ away so they could redistribute it to someone who they felt deserve it more. Lincoln did what he did to appease the northern abolitionists that voted him into office. When ever A leader Forces his will on the rest of the country through military force is fascism and at the time this was happening slavery was the norm, I know how dare I call your god a facist, to bad someone did not shoot that S.O.B. before he caused all that useless loss of life.

35. I think there is only one thing to say to this.

    Fuck the extremists, on both sides.

36. And I bash Southerners here for being so stupid as to be prejudice against Northerners. I thought that only happened in the South down here. I should have known that stupidity has no bounderies. From now now I will never speak again up again (after reading this pile of trash) when one of my fellow Southerners talk trash about the North. And I thought the war was over. What was I thinking?

37. Fuck ’em. And their cultivated culture of ignorant hypocritical theocracy.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L640vc_XB…

38. Spoken like a true liberal retard.

    “”we fucking founded this country”
    You didn’t do anything, don’t take credit for something that was done by others centuries ago. Just like you shouldn’t link todays southerner to slavery. This only shows your ignorance, which you seem to have in abundance.

    So, take your baby killing, asshole fucking, liberal views and shove them where your boyfriend Bruce likes to lick you.

39. from a southerner…”fuck the south!” granted the north maybe full of loud mouthed “know-it all-assholes”, but they are free loud mouthed “know-it-all-assholes. and one thing the south is not and will never be is free…examples: free-minded, free-spirited, free-willed, free-whatever. i could never in good conscience raise a child in the south to grow up to be a narrow minded bigot afraid of his own shadow(metaphor for individual thought process). the south is a joke and embarrassment to the rest of the country and doesnt know or care to aknowledge it. from the cival war to the bush administration the south has hid behind prehistoric idiosyncrasies that have perpetuated segregation, prejudice(religious, racial, gender, homosexual), and fascism(not just a northern trait) just to give a few examples of the belief system that is the livlihood and breath of the southern elitist and wannabes. theres a jealous traitorist hatefull bloodflow that pumps through the veins of southerners(whites, blacks, mexiacans, asians, everyone really) thats been degrading the priciples for which this country was founded on and will continue to do so until the end of life as we know it. beyond the low cost of living and slightly more livable crime rate the south has nothing more to offer than an inexpesive means to spawn generations of cultural and social intolerance and division. this may seem like nothing more than a simple rant, but there arent any fact or figures that can take the place of life experinces..and i have met alot of people from alot of places..and no matter what those people may have thought of my southern-ass(if they could tell, seeing as i am extremely open-minded, have no southern accent or overtly racist tendicies) those feeling have always been warmer and more accepting than those from my fellow southerners. it quite sad if you care to think about it…..so fuck yeah-FUCK THE SOUTH!

40. As a Northerner myself, I’d like to say Virginia was the first state to be founded. In addition, this North vs. South garbage would suggest that the writer is either uninformed, or around the age of 12. Grow up and get some soap for that mouth. Many of us Northern elitists enjoy people for who they are and not because they are from a certain region.

41. Alabama pays more in State tax then Hawaii the previously highest taxed state. Alabama even with a ten percent sales tax has no money for roads or schools…. If you knew anything about the south you would know about the reverse racism that goes on, it’s hard to get a job, because of affirmative action. That being said.. I’m a democrat, and just because a state is judged as being a “red state” doesn’t mean everyone who lives there is. Mostly the only people who vote in the state are rich and white and old who remember riots and getting beaten during the civil rights movement. As opposed to I, idealistic and poor and white. I’d rather be, idealistic, poor and white and a Southern Democrat, then snobby nose shoved in the air, northern Democrat, who thinks the world rises and sets on Seattle. Because people are so much greener and Eco-friendly. SO much more educated and refined that all they can do is scream at each other on a website.

42. Unh…I almost hate to point this out, but I am a southerner and a left wing liberal. I am not alone. And Aryanzona is out west.

43. Whoever wrote this clearly has the IQ of pudding, and that is being incredibly generous. Firtly, the man whote wrote the Declaration of Independance, the Constitution, and the leader of the Army were all from Virginia. Not only a Southern state, but a deep Red state. Further, it is the Left who opposes almost all of the Bill of Rights, not the other way around. They clearly hate the 2nd, as the author admits. They also despise the 1st (campaign finance, political corectness.) And how about the 9th and 10th? His whole rant about how he loves the Federal Government and hates the State Governments? That is precisely what this article is about. How about the 5th’s protection of property? I’ll assume he was okay with Pfizer’s theft of property in New London. Finally, he is appearantly of the idiotic stance that divorce rates are the sole measure of values. Only in the mind of someone truly without any intellectual depth (like the author) would think that divorce is a better measure of value than the slaughter of unborn children. For the record, I am from a deep Purple Northern State, and even I can see that this man is an idiot.

44. You, my friend, do not know what you are talking about. Not all of the founding fathers were from the north. As a matter of fact the important ones who did the most important things were from the south. Next, it was people from the south that said something should be done about slavery now. It was delegates from the north that got the whole thing pushed under the rug. Also the north was just as guilty in slavery as the south. And your “wonderful” president (who conducted an illegal war against states who had a right to withdraw from the union) was as much a bigot as anyone else. He said he would keep all negros enslaved if it meant preserving the union. This doesnt even touch on the fact that the so called proclamation freeing slaves freed slaves in the parts of the country he considered to be in rebellion. Well, this was illegal as he had no right to do such a thing. Thats beside the point at this time-the point being is all that proclamation was was an attempt at creating a fifth column. Which did not happen. How about the fact that there were thousands of blacks in the south that stood shoulder to shoulder with whites in defending their homeland from the yankee invader. Try reading real history for a change instead of one hundred and fifty years of yankee tainted history. If you dig deep enough you will find an unbelievable amount of writing from the time. And all of the writing from southern soliders say the same thing-they were going to war to protect their homes from an all powerful federal government. It was no different than when the thirteen colonies gave the king of england the middle finger.

    And one more thing-you are a backwards neanderthal. Why dont you try some honest, decent dialog instead of caveman talk filled with nothing but cussing. Did your education not get any further than the pages of the dictionary that spells out cuss words?

45. This person is soooooo f’n brave they can’t even sign their name? Yeah, that’s balls.

46. I hates the South and I’m from the South!

47. BRAVO!!

48. It’s a fucked up world, with a fucked up place,
    Everybody’s judged by their fucked up face

49. Excellent fucked up article that will provide the incentive and basis for my work.I wonder if I can mention the fucked up article as a bibliographic reference in my work. Thanks!

50. True statements mostly. The South has been a boil on the ass of this country for 200 years. We must remember, however that not every southern person fits this description, many might even agree with the sentiments expressed. In times like these unity is even more important. While I tend to side with the author of the rant, I don’t think President Lincoln would have. I once heard a history professor (with a horrible southern accent) go over all this, and he ended with the statement “we are all Americans”. I felt a bit ashamed when I thought about it.
