Should we be Done With The South? [View All]

[bryant69]

There was an aritcle at Salon the other day about whether or not we need to keep fighting to win in the South. The question is also near the center of the Carville - Dean debate.

My gut reaction is fuck the south (and I live here). The South and the Conservatives have made an alliance to fight for what they believe is the "real America." But you add up all their descriptions of what a "real American" is and you end up with a picture that looks a lot like a white southern conservative male. New Englanders and Pacific citizens can't be real Americans - neither can immigrants, non-Protestent Christians, or other ethnic minorities. Liberals of any stripe can't be real Americans.

Let's stop coddling the South and pretending that they are the real American. Such a strategy is just going to screw us in the long rung. But of course i could be wrong.
