Nonetheless, it has some of the most venomous responses one could think of.

There are so many contradictions with these peoples' "thinking"...they are fervently pro-capitalism - the system that screwed them, their parents and grandparents.

They claim to be "Christian," but ignore essential teachings of Jesus.

What gets me is those who do not live in the South, have never lived in the South, have no relatives in the South and who have never been to the South buying into all the Confederate imagery.
