But I know Southerners, Mississippians, who would disagree, who would take the proud version of the same position that my friend took, that to be a&#0160;<em>true</em>&#0160;Southerner, you have to love God and guns and football and sweet tea. This view dovetails with, but isn&#39;t co-extensive with, the Palinesque view that there are parts of America, and Americans, that are only technically American. They&#39;re not &quot;real America&quot;.</p> </blockquote>]]></html></oembed>
