Good post Adrienne. I’d apologize for my Yankee roots except my ancestors were barely off the boat from Germany during the Civil War.

That’s an excellent point. The outcome of the Civil War was definitely good. Another point is that it permanently cemented states’ rights as a debate in this country. Those debates have extended even to this day with much of the tea party platform.

Good post–it’s important to remember the signficance of that piece of history and how it affects the country today, from ongoing debates over federal power, race relations and the agricultural versus industrial balance. I also like the quote from Chesty Puller’s family, who were descended from Confederates, and said that while they should be proud of their fight it was better that they lost so the country could remain whole.

Thanks Adrienne for this post. I can’t stand cabbage either and my mom used to stink up the house with it on New Year’s.

I agree that a distinct “South” seems to be disappearing. I don’t know if I know many people who consider themselves to be a proud Southerner like I do myself. That being said, I still shake my head at the scene at Twelve Oaks when War is declared and think to myself, “Idiots!”

I do hope that, with its ever changing demographics, that there’ll still be a South that’s not defined solely by
geography.

Comment on It’s the End of the World as We Know It by Allie

I never understand these people claiming to be Christians who know when the end of the world will occur. They need to study the Bible a little more. Mark 13, like you pointed out, clears up all of the 2012 (and other) predictions that have spread like wildfire. It does make me laugh but at the same time saddens me that so many people believe false prophets. I could go on and on about this topic but I don’t want to hijack your post! Let’s just say, I think we agree.

“cold crunchy heart” may be my new favorite phrase! I’m always looking for a way to let people know that that I’m as conservative as they come…even if I do believe in cloth diapering, bento style lunches, and using washable cleaning clothes, etc. You’re not the only cold crunchy heart!

[...] how the silver in the velvet blazer, necklace and shoes play off of each other. After last week at CPAC, I felt like going business casual this week. Hence my fallback on khaki skirts and ballet [...]
