'Trump Counter-Terrorism Program to drop White Supremacists, focus on Islam'
Yes, Mr. Cole - as a Tarheel Confederate, who believes in state sovereignty, espouses it, and holds to the notion that our understanding of The Good Book is at the centre of it all, I am heartily sick of being a target for President Obama, and being on New England Government Yankee lists.
To be sure, I am absolutely ready to fight for North Carolina, if our legislature so deemed it, however, in lieu of such an event, my greatest crime against this present social order is a citation for driving 64 in a 55 - 25 years ago.
There are many of us - in the tens of millions in The South, and the odd out case, such as Mr. Dylan Roof, is NOT justification to target us for our beliefs.
I respectfully disagree, Mr. Cole - both with the notion that immigration is the definition of what 'made America great', or that in being a North Carolinian that I am 'an American'; - a definition largely moulded by New England culture.
No, as a North Carolinian, I live in a land whose history is that our forefathers did not 'immigrate here', but, came here, forcefully took it from the Indians, settled it; and, along the way, reconstructed a traditional antiquated Britain, which, at that time, that country was in the process of abandoning.
We, Tarheels, have our own world; and, thus, are in need of neither additions to fulfill us, perpetuate us, nor to 'remain competitive'.
