(15,139 posts)ignorance and stupidity exists in the US ought to be a source of national shame. Instead, it's a source of regional pride. Makes me cringe.

Can we persuade them to secede?
Added - In some ways it makes me want to cry that in 2012 we have a state that is so backwards that they would be happy going back to the 1800s and thinking they would be in God's glory.

(6,148 posts)I don't like to admit that some of my people are like this. But the truth is right there...
SOME people don't want to work. SOME people are moochers. SOME people feel entitled to handouts, and haven't done a damned thing to earn them... except maybe reproduce. Some of these people are able-bodied and quite capable of holding a job.
It makes me want to puke.
I end up having more respect for the Bible-thumping racists, as long as they're holding down a job.

(12,287 posts)know it's a Pelosi asking them those questions? I'd bet at least half of those she interviewed go to rallies and rant and rave about Pelosi, Reid and Soros. The names they use to show how informed they are.

(809 posts)the kind of people who would form a mob and burn witches.
Yes they are- born and lived the bulk of my life in a 'red state' - and yes as a female you are 'suspect' and if you are not a fundy x-tian you get harrassed. I have known of peoples homes, vehicles etc being vandalized, in some cases even pets have been murdered in mutliated by these upstanding 'god fearing' christain types. They do not seem to realize three things
1) the civil war is over
2) they were manipulated by wealthy plantation owners and are still being manipulated
3) the religion they cling to is a religion soley based on hatred, and is a tool for the current plantation owners to use to manipulate them.

(6,699 posts)...and the most illiterate, and probably the closest to the Stone Age?...well, keep thumpin' them Bibles, and hating them people with darker skin color then yours, and the South will get their ass handed to them again, if you want to believe that nonsense.
Honest to God, THIS is why we are a nation of morons. Thank God there are some decent folks in the South, because they are sadly outnumbered by half-wits like these fools.

(1,485 posts)they have not had the education and proper(ish) upbringing I have had.
This just makes me sad about the human condition. They really do not know. This is what they were exposed to their whole lives. I can't say I would be different if I grew up as they did.
AS sad as they make me, I hope they stay home in November.

(9,933 posts)My mother and brother live in northern VA and while their command of the english language is a bit better they would agree with these folks being tea party fundies themselves. I grew up around them yet escaped. (Always thought they were mean and not so bright)
Does make me sad though...

(1,485 posts)but I am thinking of ME as I am now. My mind recoils at much of what was said. I like to find fault with the major failings of those in our history in this country and would like to think I would do better. I know me now but, in that other reality, who knows? It does not really bear thinking about, but is a thorn under my saddle.
Nice job rising above your personal history! I would bet that some in the video could do it too, with the right nudge at the right time-developmentally.
