Well, to be fair, I think that you're going to find pockets of the population that hold that attitude in every region, not just the south. And, didn't Obama, when he was campaigning, refer to rural Pennsylvanians (I was one, once upon a time) as "Bitter Americans, clinging to guns and religion"?

Even "Uncle Billy" saw the value in your manners. Not so much anything else that would burn.
