Entry: It Can't Happen Here Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/it_cant_happen_here#12207 Post contents: <<The vast majority of “dry” counties in the US today are in Mick Huckabee’s bible-thumping south and the Scots-Irish areas of places like West Virginia.>> I'm glad you brought that up. Those places were never "dry", until the Yankee came in and them so. Don't believe that the modern culture of the South, even in West Virginia and the rest of Appalachia, was the culture 140+ years ago. The Reconstruction turned the South into a place of Yankee domination, all while the former New England was being over-run by immigrants from Ireland and Italy. The temperance movement was started and was the strongest in the North, until there were enough immigrants to finally break some of the stranglehold. Dixie, however, was not so lucky. Yankee influence, by example the temperance movement, remained strong, but has weakened over the years, and will continue to weaken as more and more immigrants from Mexico change the demographics. Every day I am glad to see a scalawag Baptist, most of whom support Rev Huckleberry, replaced by a Mexican. Now, the challenge is to keep the Mexican from being indoctrinated into support for the racial identity politics of the Democrats. Sent at: 2008 07 06
