(16,245 posts)I hate the right-wing redneck assholes who cling to the past like it was some perfect time. In fact, most of the people glorifying the pre-Civil War south would have been treated almost as badly under that system as the slaves were. Almost. They would have been free, but they would have been desperately poor and just as much under the thumb of the elite. I wonder why they think it was so special.
I do think it is a beautiful place, generally. I love hot weather, hate cold. Love the beaches and mountains. But I HATE the people surrounding me at every turn. I hate them; I truly do. They are stupid and just plain mean. Oh, they can be the sweetest people on earth, to your face. Then they stab you in the back, smiling all the while. I am so tired of my kind (liberal, atheists) being demonized at every turn. I am more than willing to turn my back on whole sections of this country and find some liberal enclave to hide in for the rest of my days. I no longer care if these dumbasses want to vote against their own best interests. When the tea-party nut jobs raise their taxes and they feel betrayed, I just laugh and say "I told you so, you dumbass." I simply do not care anymore. I'm tired of this, so very tired.
