re: Does anyone really have "Southern Pride"?

Sure. That's true.
The thing is, this idea of Southern pride is nothing more than a banding together response and a larger scale version of regional competition.
In LA, if you are above I-10, the joke is that you are basically Arkansas or Texas.
On an even smaller scale, New Iberia and St. Martinville people seem to compete against each other.
This exists everywhere.
You simply see the idea of Southern pride as a bigger example because it involves a larger piece of real estate.
Hell, how often do you hear Americans say that all other countries suck in comparison? American pride!
We are a competitive species. "Warfare" is in our blood.

I get what you're saying. I definitely have a Southern Louisiana bias but outside of that, I do defend the U.S. but I guess the South as a whole just doesn't get me hard.
