I just posted two of the most stupid things.

Porter Believes "Un-American" Eric Holder And Hillary Clinton Tried To "Kill The Second Amendment At The United Nations.

Porter Calls The Civil War The "War Of Northern Aggression." Explaining the NRA's roots during the same June 2012 speech, Porter said, "NRA was started 1871 right here in New York state. It was started by some Yankee generals who didn't like the way my Southern boys had the ability to shoot in what we call the 'War of Northern Aggression.' Now y'all might call it the Civil War, but we call it the 'War of Northern Aggression' down south."

We do NOT call it the War Of Northern Aggression.

Porter Thinks President Obama Wants European-Style Socialism.

Unfortunately, some people here in the South still do (that, or 'the late unpleasantness,' how's that for a ridiculous euphemism?). Not so many these days, but some. Enough to make me feel a little uneasy sometimes, and embarrassed that half my family tree is southern. :?

Every time the news reports on something stupid coming out of the south, I cross my fingers and chant, "Please not my state, please not my state."

I never knew my father's family. They've made contact with me on facebook. At first, I was overjoyed but now I'm alarmed at the prosouthern, conservative, memes that they post. My own family is crazy conservative but apparently my father's family makes my mom's family look like far left, tree hugging hippies :o I've thought about defriending them but they are my only connection to my dad

With this fuckwit, Wayne LaPierre, Ted Nugent and Ann Coulter, you'd think all gun owners are completely off the rails crazy! Yikes.

And I'm going to leave this right here.

The first time I heard the phrase War of Northern Aggression I thought it was a bad joke. I was shocked to find out some people use it sincerely.

This is a little OT, but I'm from California and I've always wondered what Southerners who say stuff like "War of Northern Aggression" and are into that confederate pride bullshit consider people from the West Coast to be. We're not Northerners, but are we Yankees? Or are we and our opinions irrelevant 'cause we're all a bunch of commie pot-smoking liberals anyway?

Presumably, Salamander. Never mind that there are tons of conservatives in CA.

That sounds like a euphemism for menstruation.
