This has been one of the trending opinion pieces on politico all day. I did not post it in the "politics" section because it's so fricking stupid it does not deserve to be considered political in any way.

Opinions?

Some cocksmoker posted this on PT the other day. I can't remember which leftist it was, but he agreed with the horrible article.

So they want to separate themselves from the South? There are quite a few people that wanted to do that in the first place.

looks spot on. you mad, bro?

South skews stats on fatness and stupidity too, along w/West Va.

Mebbe we should secede again. This time they might let us go.

They can kick the south out if they agree to take our welfare recipients they have enabled to be worthless.

well, 55% of blacks living in this country live in the south.
We'd be more than happy to send the north baton rouge types your way.

The writer just strings together big words to sound intellectual. Half of them do not even go together. What a pretentious douche bag. The South does most of the heavy lifting in this country so the Left Coast and North East can sit behind a computer and create ridiculous shite like this.

So, what she is saying, is removing all minorities would make this country better? She is saying, remove states like the South with high black populations and Texas, high Mexican populations, and all of of sudden we have a better country...you know who the real racists are in America? It's the ones who use their checkbooks to avoid living with minorities, price others who they seem inferior out and then criticize others.

Horrible opinion piece. The author is probably a gay white male with extreme white guilt who is bitter about having to grow up around people different than he.

I am exploring a view that the South didn't really surrender. It just suspended violent hostilities and went underground.

You OT historians correct me if I am wrong. But hasn't the South exerted political influence disproportionate to its population? Hasn't the South always pulled American politics to the right?

I am not agreeing with this asswipe's statistics. But am I wrong in saying that the South has continued to wage a political war against the strength of the federal government?

I'd love to see their response if someone were to point out the obvious massive flaw in this article.

I must have missed this.
