Man, southern rednecks sure are victimized.

Poor Christians. Can’t get a break in the old USA.

Hmm…funny for a guy that blames “culture” in the black community, in the cities or where ever for all manner of social ills. I guess the South is too sacred to criticize.

I’m surprised the NASCAR cars still only make left turns. You’d think Huck would have had that changed by now.

Culture is a bit too high minded to describe this. This is just learned (bad) behavior, just like the ruts they were driving in.

I grew up in the midwest and in Arizona. Lived in the south for about a year as an adult. I found it to be more much more hostile than the midwest but friendlier than Arizona. Ironically, Arizona is kind of a cold place… talk to a stranger and they look at you weird, and nobody is really from here. But the whole ‘southern hospitality’ thing is BS … it’s just fake politeness. Overall, I found it to be a very closed-off place, the ‘us vs. them’ mentality pervades.

People in Dixie are always sincere–whether they mean it or not.

Another of those cultural memes. I was quite surprised to find out what that phrase actually means, at least when addressed to ‘outsiders.’

Yes, it’s right up there next to “proud ignorance” as a point of Southern Pride.

What is “learned behavior” anyway?

Huckabee needs to lay off the Southern Comfort. A so called southern baptist pastor at that.

He’s a Shiite Baptist

Southern Baptists don’t drink. You can tell by the way they hide their beers behind their back when their shaman shows up.

Do you know the difference between a Baptist and a Methodist?

Methodists say hello to each other in the liquor store.

Behavior that is learned. Is this hard to understand?
