Maybe at some point but now the South votes republican which is not a party of smaller, weaker federal government.

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

reminds me of the "catcalling walking down the street" video that got major pub...until everyone realized it only called out men of color

[]The United States would be much less exceptional in general, and in particular more like other English-speaking democracies such as Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand were it not for the effects on U.S. politics and culture of the American South Read more: LINK [/]

[]. In practice, however, much of what sets the United States apart from other countries today is actually Southern exceptionalism. The United States would be much less exceptional in general, and in particular more like other English-speaking democracies such as Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand were it not for the effects on U.S. politics and culture of the American South Read more: LINK [/]

"...and the republic for which it stands..."

The first point in the article isn't the only thing wrong with it or the writer, but it was an instant indication it would be a waste of time to read.

I don't get why everyone in this thread thinks pointing out that blacks are the problem is some kind of "gotcha."

They're still southerners, you can't just ship them away.
