Obama – How Goes the South?

The sacred south remains an important factor in national elections. How will Barack Obama fair?

Probably not very well. Southerners, as a rule, love and respect the military. We love football and NASCAR. Guns are a way of life (whether we hunt or not), not something we do on weekends. We don’t put up with phonies nor appreciate being pandered to.

Yet, left wingers like Barack Obama and Joe Biden feel nothing but comtempt for us. We’re hayseeds… rubes… idiots. We talk funny. One of the greatest regrets of my life was moving north and over time losing what Yankees referred to as “my accent”, which was never as distinct as many of my friends and neighbors.

Sorry, I digress.

In Human Events, AWR Hawkins asks the prescient question, “When is Barack going to shoot the goose?”. We know that it has to come.

This is when liberal Dems get their picture taken in neatly pressed, spanking new camo, holding a gun, acting like “one of us”. They also attend the obligatory NASCAR race. Maybe they’ll attend an SEC or ACC football game.

Given the media’s love affair with the ONE, at least Obama won’t be ridiculed in the MSM. It still won’t sell to folks down home. They can spot a phony from the next county.

What about Joe Biden? Oh, he’ll be REEEEAL popular down home. Given his record as one of the most anti-gun legislators in history Obama’s handlers will probably keep Biden north of the border states.

That’s OK Joe. We still have that video of you questioning the mental health of a law abiding gun owner.
