The South has a tradition of anti-intellectualism and some are perhaps confused by that. One does not flaunt one’s education nor other advantages in life. We have respect for other aspects of life as well as education and while it is very important, it is not the end all, be all that it is for some elitists in this country. Add to that Hollywood’s relentless stereotyping of Southerners and for those looking for and needing some kind of imaginary edge, one can be found.

It has no basis in fact. Almost all U.S. Presidents are from the South despite the negative image foisted upon that region by the liberal media including movies. Virginia alone has produced six of them.

And John Kerry of all people should have kept his sorry mouth shut considering the pass he was given for his lying under oath and before congress concerning atrocities committed in Vietnam that never happened. He swore to have had first hand knowledge about things that never happened and were later proven to have been total anti-war fabrications. He may be reporting for duty but in my opinion he is totally unfit to serve this country in any capacity let alone U.S. Senator. Shame on those who continue to send this man to Washington!
