The modern day Southerns are mainly American Yankee's too. Dude, you are on the side that clung to idea of Monarch's and Aristocrats, clung to slavery, clung to Jim Crow and clinging to inequality today. You're also still clinging to Marxism today. I assume that you and so many others are still clinging to them because there are jobs (some more lucrative than others) lots of funding and the possibility of fame and fortune too. Your problem with me is pretty simple. I'm older and wiser and not easily duped. Your problem is we understand what you want and understand the tactics that your trying to use with us that works so well with most everyone on the Democratic side who are mainly female or cream puff male or a clueless minority who has never seen America mad and free to terrorize them by passing racist looking/sounding laws and cracking down during their lifetime so far.
Without resorting to Einzige's characterization, you are definitely guilty of severely twisted logic. The Confederates were and their modern intellectual kin still are members of the pro-aristocracy crowd, and certainly not Marxists. I live among them. They believe that they have a God-given right to a place of superiority due to their exceptional efforts (as they see them). Many are pretty colorblind, and others not, but they believe they deserve their place in the pecking order. The fact that most of the undeserving just happen to be poor, typically people of color is dismissed as irrelevant. After all, they can get out there and improve themselves, just like they did. Of course, most had a hand-up in more ways than one.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
