I am a Southerner . . . I won’t apologize I won’t be reconstructed. I will not surrender My identity, my heritage. I believe in the Constitution, In States’ Rights, That the government should be the Servant, not the Master of the people. I believe in the right to bear arms, The right to be left alone. I am a Southerner . . . The spirit of my Confederate ancestor Boils in my blood. He fought Not for what he thought was right, But for what was right. Not for slavery, But to resist tyranny, Machiavellian laws, Oppressive taxation, invasion of his land, For the right to be left alone. I am a Southerner A rebel, Seldom politically correct, At times belligerent. I don’t like DOW, AS, SELC, Or modern neocon politicians like them. I like hunting and fishing, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Bonnie Blue and Dixie I still believe in chivalry and civility. I am a face in the Southern collage of Gentlemen and scholars, belles and writers, Soldiers and sharecroppers, Cajuns and Creoles, Tejanos and IsleÒos, Celts and Germans, Gullah and Geechi, freedmen and slaves. We are all the South. The South . . . My home, my beautiful home, My culture, my destiny, my heart. I am a Southerner. — with Carrie Mae Bevill.
