I've been a DUer for many years and am sick of the prejudice against the South and the place where I was born. I was born at the Naval Hospital in Beaufort, SC--Parris Island to be exact. My (very liberal) parents raised me with critical thinking skills and taught me to try to treat everyone with respect. And Trey Gowdy is a piece of shit.

My grandmother retired to Western NC, Black Mountain, near Asheville, so I spent a lot of time there. Not only is it beautiful country, but it's a great area for art and music - besides being progressive. I met a lot of her friends and some were transplants, but not all of them, and not necessarily from the north, either. I had a rare opportunity, I joined my grandmother and her peace group from Black Mountain on a trip to their "sister city" in the USSR - shortly before it fell. They were all senior citizens except for one lady - and me - and I loved every single one of them. One woman I became good friends with was from the deep south, Alabama, I think. Our Russian guide was fluent in English, but she had trouble understanding Nancy since she had such a strong Southern accent.

In Montreat, right next to Black Mountain. I plan to try to look into what I can associated with the Black Mountain School. I think some of the buildings are still there, and that there's a museum in Asheville.

as I live in upstate Ny & some of these fuckers here fly the vile flag. But the cretins in your states that are political leaders are certainly part & parcel of the fucking old confederacy.

They were & are still traitors. Just stating facts. I love you brothers & sisters of the south that are here fighting the uphill fight.

The Confederacy of then is now the Putin Publican party today.
If that makes me a cretin, then I am proud of it!

I'm also in New York and I have to believe that the reason we're considered a "blue state" is because of downstate. I can't say I know any Trump voters among my friends, but before the election last fall I took a drive a little way up north to visit a friend who lives in a beautiful log cabin next to a stream, pretty remote. Of course I got lost and had trouble getting a cell phone connection. So I did a lot of driving around and couldn't believe all the Trump signs! They were all over! And I hadn't even seen one where I live. I was too nervous to ask for directions, but it finally got through to me that there really were people who were voting for Trump!

I understand that many liberals in the South are hypersensitive. I know I wouldn't like to be thrown in with all those negative stereotypes associated with that part of the country .But My comment could have been made about any state. The people of each state are given a job to do. They hire our politicians. The question is a fair one. In fact I remember asking it of my family in NJ when Christie won?

So are you going to run to replace Gowdy...You can count on my donation.

Now depending on the day we may get a few knocks in together at my husbands expense. LOL

I do understand how people have the sensitivity...So really I intended no regional offense.... Jeeze we have our share of wackos in WA state...Have you ever heard of Tim Eyeman and for some reason people on the east side of the mountains think Kathy McMorris Rogers is just the bees knees.
