PIA nailed it when he said that Southern conservatives are "subject of the king" types. That IS the FUNDAMENTAL difference between the Southern mentality and the rest of the country.
Southern conservatives believe in concepts like the nobility, brass buttoned strongmen, cult of personality, rule by men instead of rule by law, spoken decrees, blood oaths, blood libel and blood atonement.
Sharing this piece of wisdom, with your moniker credited, of course.
