The old, "We po' but proud!"

Rural whites are bible-clutching, gun-toting, church-going racially-segregated Republican bloc-voters. They wouldn't ask the Federal government for anything, other than what's due - Medicare and Social Security.

When the nation put "that black man" in the White House, well, that killed the Democratic Party in Alabama.

We are on the edge of being flushed, and it looks like poor Alabamians are going to have to leave Alabama, just like most of the Hispanics have already left. America still exists somewhere, doesn't it?
