Michael Lind: The South is holding America hostage

[Winehole23]

Lind's gloss of the present political impasse as essentially sectionalistic is becoming a common theme, as is his thesis that the GOP represents the interests of a moneyed elite at war with labor and squishy urban elites.

Instead of waiting for the next Southern conservative outrage, and treating it as a single, isolated example of inexplicable craziness, the rest of America from center-left to center-right should recognize that it is dealing with different aspects of a single strategy by a regional elite.http://www.salon.com/2013/10/13/the_south_is_holding_america_hostage/

the GOP needs to crash and burn. it's sad because it has so much potential. it needs to reform around the american working class and bridging the gap between the middle class and elites.

Another take on "Left Behind", the kind the neo-Confederate Repugs deliver to the black and white right-to-work-for-less states' employees.
