Thank you so much for deleting that horrible thread bashing the "South". Once again us southerners have had to defend ourselves *again* against some righteous northerner that thinks we are all beer swilling, hog callin' rednecks.
Here's a CLUE for you southern bashers out there:
IT SERVES NO PURPOSE AND IS UNPRODUCTIVE.
We need to stick together....c'mon, how silly does it make us look when we are throwing trash around about WHERE WE LIVE?

1. it is silly to do it here on DU to other DU'ers who live here in the south |

It's enough that we have to put up with crap from our next door neighbors; when we go to DU we shouldn't have to put up with it from our friends in the "blue" states.

Funny, I was just thinking about you in the context of the deleted thread referenced here, and how I can always count on you to step in and call "bullshit" when the South bashing starts. One of the many, many, many reasons I love ya! :hug:

8. And what causes you to make the condescending assumption |
|
that we AREN'T working?
Why, it would go a lot faster if a lot of you joined us! I invite liberals one and all to join me in Texas, in the fight to make this area more progressive, compassionate, and enlightened!

Clearly they have already done all the good work up there to make their states blue and we lazy southern DU'ers have just been too dang busy going to barn dances and hog ropin' contests to be involved in turning this state BACK to blue.
Us silly redneck hayseeds need help ya'll, thanks for volunteering.

My best friend actually did hold her wedding reception in a barn. But she's crazy like that. And a huge liberal, bless her heart.

How do you know I haven't?
I busted my ass during the the elections and primaries.... maybe if more people from those "beloved" blue states voted Dem, Kerry would be in the whitehouse.
There are plenty of us who have busted our asses down here, don't be so damn condescending!

23. Damn you found me out! |

I sit around all day long fanning myself on my veranda while sipping a mint julep. I secretly enjoy the suffering of the oppressed and despise the concept of social programs.
I might consider actually working for change if not for the fact that I'm prone to the vapors and tend to get freckles in the sun.
Yes, you know me very well. :eyes:

Edited on Wed Jul-13-05 05:01 PM by Endangered Specie
just a tad bit ironic.
edit: I personally registered well over 100 people and spent many an hour doing door to door and campus wide campainging.
What, did you do to help win Ohio?

3. Though I don't disagree w/the deletion, it still kinda pissed me off |
|
Had spent about 15 minutes banging out a reply to a particularly asinine post, hit "post message" and... :argh:
In all fairness, though, I don't think the OP intended a flamewar~

My boyfriend is from the South. I am from the North and I get tired of defending the morals and integrity of the South. My "in-laws" are bright, liberal people. My bf is more educated than I.

7. Hey .. Aren't you all starting it all over |
|
again by bashing the bashers?
Not that I want to get involved in a flame war.. but perhaps it's better to savor the victory quietly

34. I really did have an Aunt Smokey. |

So called because she fell into the fire as a toddler and burned her face. From then on out, she was called "Smokey."

I'm a NASCAR fan in New Hampshire, northern born and bred.My parents are lifetime democrats and my father a union steward...Personaly I have been accused of making Ho Chi Minh look like Richard Nixon.So every time a NASCAR reference comes up I am doubly embarrassed-first that someone would mistake liking a sport with southern roots for being a "redneck" and "moron" and secondly that most of the accusers have supposedly "liberal" northern roots like my own and yet STILL have no problem embracing a stereotype.That said Morons will be Morons-I'll drink a Budweiser to the South this weekend at New Hampshire International Speedway-thanks for the sport!!!

the quote was "some righteous Northerner" (singular). In terms of broad brushes, not quite on the same par as "the South xxxx".

This is going in a bad direction, friends. Let's focus on our common enemies out there!
As always, feel free to send a PM if you have questions about the lock.
