Those hotheads Lincoln and Kennedy and Roosevelt come to mind (ouch!)  Interesting fact pointed out by George Will: "By Jan. 20, 2009, all the elected presidents for 44 consecutive years will have come from three Southern states — Texas, Arkansas, Georgia — and Southern California." Yes and no. The Bushes have their political and money roots in Connecticut, and in many ways the Texas connection (and Saudi connection) was a function of wealth expansion (carpetbaggers?). Reagan was a mid-Westerner, but could speak your lingo. Johnson and Clinton were Southern born and bred, but those two would probably be low on George Will's Favorite Presidents List.

You're ignoring Jimmy Carter?

The rest of the recipe can be found in either "Godless Liberalism for Dummies" or "The Godless Liberal Handbook" (available on Amazon I believe).

Godess Liberal, I thought all of the sophisticated information you impressed us with was the accumulation of your many years of enlightened wisdom absorbed while reading the advertisements on the walls of the subway tunnels beneath NYC and talking to strangers while dining in Horn & Hardarts.  But here I wake up this morning only to discover that you're reading all of it from a book.

Most "conservative" faculty members I know are not at all like some of the Council of Conservative Citizens types still inhabiting this beautiful state (and pandered to by the local pols-hence their must be quite a few folks who resonate with CCC thought), and the "liberal" faculty are not Leninists. Most faculty folks are relatively moderate with some leanings one way or another. For that reason, I can see why folks "out there" lump us all together as liberals.

True enough that here are hardly any white supremacist reactionaries at USM.

But don't fool yourself, either: there are plenty of hardline leftists on the USM faculty. And we teach your kids, send our own to your schools, pay taxes, "own" houses, walk our dogs on your streets, buy "hunting supplies" at Big Buck Sports, just like Bubba and Bubbette and their city cousins, Good Old Boy/Girl.

The difference is that we're just waiting for a moment of economic crisis to smash the state and declare the people's republic. There are hundreds of us, all over the country. We walk among you . . . Nyahahahahahah (demented Marxist-Leninist laughter)

Godless Liberal:
Would I be safe to assume that at some point in your recent past you've referred to either Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity as a Nazi?  I can't admit to watching Fox News among my "liberal" colleagues without receiving some sort of sneer or other snide remark (the most recent was "you hateful Bush-loving Neo-Nazi!").  And that was for just mentioning that I was following Fox News cover Hurricane Dennis!  So although you seem to want to label Mississippi "conservatives" as dim-witted, short-sighted, and uncaring for those in need (or the environment, or those without health care, etc.),  a**holes abound on both sides of the liberal vs. conservative issue.  Reading some of the earlier posts on this thread has given me a roaring case of colitis.....

I am a Michael Savage fan myself. None of that wishy washy O'Reilly stuff for me, thank you. I watch FOX news to catch that babe Ann Coulter. I love it when she spouts off about us Godless Liberals. A peanut oil party with Ann is my life's dream. Nothing like it on CNN, that's for sure.
