Well the funniest thing (or not) about this was that it was when I was living down in Georgia about 20 miles from Ft. Stewart.
Little tiny place on the crossroads, I worked nights in a Flash Foods Mart.
Every weekend without fail all the guys would come in and buy up as much beer as they could before we closed the coolers for "the sabbath".
Where I was living, I could hear several of the more fine families in the town cursing and beating the kids, wife, etc. Come Sunday morning they would all be out in front of the little Baptist church on my way home from work shaking hands with one another "brother this and brother that" while you could see the rest of the families hanging in the background........complete with bruises.
And yes.......coloreds, yankees, foreigners and city folk were all expected to know their place. If you weren't from there your best bet was to leave........post haste.

Such was the case in the not-so-distant past. Even IS the case in some places in the deep south.

Bottom line is we need to stop with all the blame. Bush is history and Obama is the new leader. Hopefully we can all get along and he will do the job he was elected to do for America. Obama better pull through because he has more eyes watching him than all the Presidents put together. Good luck obama, I would not want to be in the President's shoes for the next 4-yrs. Amen! I could not have said it better. God bless our America!
