35. They're talking about a south that isn't the one I live in.

All those wingnut rambos have filled their kids' heads with so much rightwing bullshit, you'd think it was the Hitler Youth in North Carolina. Their cousins in Alabama, same. Their friends in Texas, same. There is a generation of radical rightwing youth that really do hate everything "regulatory", anything government does that holds them back from making their parents really proud.

Parents around here praise their kids, and say "see, junior gets it! He's such a smart boy! Not like some sissy liberal."
