You’re a scholar. I was being lazy in my snark.

I agree with you. You are probably more polite about it than I am, though. Don't like how some folks have appropriated some of our artifacts for foul purposes.

And just because I live in TN doesn't mean I like the color orange. Grew up in GA. Go Dawgs!

we can donate to his competitor, who is a staunch conservative, Irag War vet, and still serving as a Colonel in the Army Reserves. Come on guys, we can do this, this is a Congressional race not a presidential race, every dollar counts. But we either kick the traitor out or wew do not, full stop.

please donate, I am doing it, and I do not live north of Mason Dixon.

you have to hit another link to get to his new page, check out his commercials and donate

…from the “FDT” & “Reagan Coalition” sites. Born & raised in GA…steeped in Southern virtue, manners & tradition. I take pride in that word, “redneck”…but understand that there are folks out there who’ll use it in a demeaning manner. “God bless em’”…that’s what my momma says. That’s her polite way of blessing them out. “They can’t help it…not having been taught manners” was another one. I am a staunch proponent of Southern Values…good, decent folks just working hard, taking care of family & community. Loyal to the state, family & friends. Real people of the South take no stock in the Rebel “Battle Flag”…it means more than a political dispute. It just saddens me, that “my” South has been diluted…belittled & for the most part, systematically dismantled from what it was. I was always proud that “we” were known for our Faith, good manners & simple ways. I fear, however, the “Bible Belt” times are coming under shadows…long ones, cast by Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, the Clintons, the ACLU & the “great” Obama. God bless Fred Thompson…I truly hope that he, Gingrich & other fine Patriots can ignite a conservative revival that has never been seen before. We must retake that which has been taken from us…before it’s too late. By the way, I like my grits, boiled peanuts, peach cobbler, cornbread…& the Georgia Bulldogs! Heck, I didn’t think PA was home to anything remotely Southern!
The liberals are just envious, that’s all. I’m glad to be here also…have visited often since inception…just never got around to joining. Thanks for having me. Ray

Murtha was popular with the Democrats for a while because his military experience gave them some much needed
“cred” in that area, but the more he talks the dumber he looks.

so much racism and segregation in the North, it is hard to keep a top ten list lol.

I know if you got to a Denny's in Mississippi, you will see half black and half white, and they are all mixed together enjoying themselves. I have seen it too many times with my own eyes, so no argument can counter it.

flag first proposed in 1861, the flag that was never official but became very popular during the war and after. It is most similar the the official Confederate Navy Jack, although the blue is darker.

The modern "Confederate Flag" is not the Stars and Bars, this is obvious if you think about it, the flag has no bars. It does have a St. Andrews Cross owing to the heavily Scottish heritage of many in the Confederate States of America.

Detroit has the distinction of being the most segregated city. It is done entirely by the people living there, by their own design.

...you hated every second of it. But not as much as you hate oil.

I'm calling this one an aesthetic ban; slightly unfair of me, but I don't feel like being up late waiting for you to cook off.

Blam.

You are on notice with me, I have not even read the diary, but I don't think I like you.

You are calling the "deep" South racist. Let me let you in on something well known among the few that are well informed. The most racists cities are in the North, even the whites divide buy ethnicity. Boston is the ultimate racist city. I would put Chicago and New york up there too.

…is it just me, or does Murtha always look like he is trying mightily to pass a cantelope?

Believe me...it is racist and redneck.

I encourage you to visit Sheffield in northwestern PA.

Or Oil City, or Brookville, or DuBois.

Might as well be the deep south. The area I grew up in had no shortage of Confederate flags.

And the use of the "N" word is not considered offensive in many circles.

This in no way applies to everyone...and Murtha's comments are beyond stupid...but there is certainly an acceptance of racist attitudes.

Well I ain’t never
Been the barbie doll type
No I can’t swig that sweet champagne
I’d rather drink beer all night
In a tavern or in a honky tonk
Or on a 4 wheel drive tailgate
I’ve got posters on my wall of Skynard, Kid and Strait
Some people look down on me
But I don’t give a rip
I’ll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip

Cause I’m a redneck woman
And I ain’t no high class broad
I’m just a product of my raisin’
And I say “hey y’all” and “Yee Haw”
And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song
So here’s to all my sisters out there keepin’ it country
Let me get a big “Hell Yeah” from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah

Victoria’s Secret
Well their stuff’s real nice
Oh but I can buy the same damn thing on a Wal*Mart shelf half price
And still look sexy
Just as sexy
As those models on TV
No I don’t need no designer tag to make my man want me
You might think I’m trashy
A little too hard core
But get in my neck of the woods
I’m just the girl next door

Hey I’m redneck woman
And I ain’t no high class broad
I’m just a product of my raisin’
And I say “hey y’all” and “Yee Haw”
And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Tanya Tucker song
So here’s to all my sisters out there keeping it country
Let me get a big “Hell Yeah” from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah

I’m redneck woman
And I ain’t no high class broad
I’m just a product of my raisin’
And I say “hey y’all” and “Yee Haw”
And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Ol’ Bocephus song
So here’s to all my sisters out there keeping it country
Let me get a big “Hell Yeah” from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah

Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah

I Said Hell Yeah
