the South gets a lot of heat from many DUers. It's because of crazy shit like talking about seceding right now, and who is leading all this crap, Deep South states like Texas. What, are we supposed to ignore all the idiocy from the right wing cro-magnons down there? Pretend it doesn't exist? Come on. There have been a lot of fresh examples in the news stories coming in every day in the election aftermath, it is hard to ignore.
