The King of Zembla has just posted a marvelous piece by Joe Bageant that deserves to be read by a wide, wide audience.
From A Mean and Unholy Ditch:
"Being a Southerner, I have hated in my lifetime. And like most people over 50, it shows in my face, because by that age we all have the face we deserve. Likewise I have seen hate in others and know the thing when I see it. And I am seeing more of it now than I have ever seen in my life (which is saying something considering that I grew up down here during the Jim Crow era.) The neo-conservative hate I am seeing now is every bit equal to the kind I saw in my people during those violent years. Irrational. Deeply rooted."
Go, read it for yourself.
