Why is the South liberals favorite punch line? The smartest people in the world come from there!?

Question

How many presidents have came from the south? My family and I came from Germany(the best country in the world!) and reside here in what you would call the South. Liberals like to say southerns don't read books or wear shoes(or some stupid thing like that!) Oh, I beg to differ! I have been around the world London, Paris, Washington. I personally believe the smartest people in the world come from the South(and Germany!) Not only are they some of the smartest people, but by far the kindest! Lesson to the Liberals: Talk what you know, not what you think you may know!

Answer 1

Thats a five-sence question. Im thinking beyond that!

Answer 2

Being that I'm what many would call a "Liberal" and that I'm from the South, I would very much like to agree with you. Unfortunately, your argument is idiotic and your writing is elementary. I am now much dumber for having read your drivel.

Answer 3

I grew up in the South and where as I agree with you we had some very educated people in our universities and those who tended to circulate around more liberal areas of the South, the number of rednecks,racists and other close minded people in the south tend to detract from the potential of the area. As the old saying goes the good tend to suffer for the bad.  So overall, I'd have to disagree with you about the South, I mean we did start the civil war which resulted in over 500,000 American deaths, that wasn't too bright.

As far as Germany goes... aren't they kinda in the same boat as the South? Very smart people on one hand yet very close minded and dumb people on the other hand.  They started two world wars and lost both of them...again, not too bright! I don't see the intelligence in that. As far as them being friendly, well I have known many Germans being that I lived there for a year. Some of them were very friendly but I would not say that out of all the countries I have visited, the Germans are the friendliest. Personally, I think the Canadians are the freindliest or even the Brazillians or Dutch. I think you are just more prone to right wing German ideology, which again, your passion for their race blinds you with stupidity.

Does this cycle ever end??

Answer 4

The smartest people in the world? I would have to say some of the Ashkenazi Jews. By the way I just visited the south." Now me feel like I smart."

Answer 5

Well, we stand corrected.  You sound like a Mensa candidate to me.   I don't know how we could get those ideas.  If only, we had just talked to you first.

(rolls eyes).

Answer 6

Well, if you mean Clinton, Gore, Carter, Flannery O'Conner, Martin Luther King, and Dolly Parton, you're right.

The south gets a bad rep from their combination of Bible-thumpers and fearmongering Republican politics.  Plus their history of resistance during the civil rights era.  The images of those whites protesting allowing little black children to go to school in Arkansas, Alabama, etc. are still vivid in people's minds.  I did find Germans very smart when i was there, but I thought they had more in common with the US north than south.
