So you say you wanna kick the South out of the Union, eh?

15. If I weren't from the South

Born in the South and raised here, I might want to kick the South out of the Union, too. In fact, I wrote earlier today that if there were any South Carolina bashing going on, I might just join in, I'm so frustrated. There are a whole lot of fundamentalist fanatical Faux Christian right wing crazies down here. There are also idiots who just go with the flow and don't know what the hell they are talking about. It's right because the preacher told them it's right and they don't delve any further. But your Democratic brothers and sisters are here, too, trying to learn and trying to open minds and hearts. And we're voting and trying to get others to vote, even though we know that ultimately our votes may not count f or anything. My whole family votes Democratic, except for my crazy mother-in-law. And there are more people voting Democratic every election. So please let us stay. It's what Abraham Lincoln would do.
