Am I allowed to say I get really tired of South bashing?

82. I know how you feel

Boston went crazy after busing in 1976 brought all the jackasses out and a few politicians got elected at lower levels on the basis of bigotry. However, it all blew over within 10 years.

I didn't know how anybody could vote for that doddering old fool Reagan and his plan to destroy the US economy. They did and he and his henchmen followed through.

However, politics in the south are different in a few ways. One is their obvious longing for the scrapping of the constitution and the return of the Articles of Confederation, something that hadn't worked for anyone but the south and not very well for them. That's what the howling over "states' rights" really means.

Another way is spitefulness over being forced to treat their former property as legal citizens with legal rights equal to those of their former masters. It's an example of how they find the constitutional government an overbearing one and why they haven't moved on, 50 years later.

Even at that, they still managed to send educated and cultured men to Washington until the Civil Rights Act. Since then, they've sent assholes who have stabbed them in the back, like Jesse Helms, Pete Sessions, Jim DeMint, and the list goes on, all of them Federalists first, Americans last.

I have no idea what it will take to get the south to move on. I only know the south will rise again, but only when they stop fighting the rest of the country.
