Have you ever travelled to the South, cal sur? Because you don't seem to know very much about the region. Why would desert kid be ridiculed and punched?
If desert kid defends the confederacy in many parts of the South [mainly large cities] people would find out & be pissed off that a trouble-maker is coming into their part of the country. My understanding is that the only regions that would welcome anything "confederate" are mostly rural but the large cities are quite different. I was just cautioning desert kid that he might get some people mad at him & they could punch him or call him names.

Hey, what about the "Museum of the Confederacy" in Richmond, VA? Or the Confederate museum in New Orleans? What about that "Confederate Avenue" in Atlanta?
But hey, I'm not a city kid so I won't mind living in the sticks.

I've spoken to people fairly openly about my views on the War of Northern Aggression and the Confederate flag, and I have yet to be "beaten up" - And I live in New Jersey.
I don't think this kid will have any problems in the heart of Dixie. The cities of the South are more liberal than Southern rural areas, yes, because urban always equates to less conservative than rural, but they are nothing like NYC, Boston, or San Francisco.
I said the new South 'may' have some admirable qualities. I'm taking DC's word for that because in my experience, it was like a trip back to the dark ages when I was there. DC is a poster who is reasonable and rational in his posts, even though I disagree with him on many things. I don't believe he would lie or stretch the truth, so my inclination is to believe him.
You deduce from that that I'm 'going on' about how wonderful the 'new south' is?
Reading comprehension much of a problem for you? You do understand what the word 'may' means, right?

For which the cities of New York, Boston, and San Francisco are incredibly grateful.
The reason you haven't been beaten up in New Jersey is because, unlike the Secession/Civil War defenders who apparently still haven't come to grips with Appomattox, they don't give a crap.

I visited a fantastic Confederate museum in Knoxville, TN, as well.
Traditional Southern culture is alive folks, regardless of what some people, like Angus want to believe.
Apparently you haven't been reading my posts. I fully understand that the sentiments of the secessionists, slave holders, and rebels is still alive and kicking in the South. That's why I continue to battle it every time one of you apologists posts some nonsensical revisionist history.
