Adante was from North Carolina, and I have relatives still living there. That said, there are a lot of citizens who feel victimized ever since 1865 and that the Supreme Court is a commie/fascist conspiracy against their ‘way of life’.

That said, South Carolina elected Strom Thurmond to the Senate 8 times; Jessie Helms was only elected 5 times by North Carolina. 😉

black mountain north Carolina is (was, anyway) on my list of “possible places to retire to.” if you want to live off-the-grid, back-in-the-mountains, get-away-from-it-all, and still be close to “the big city” (Asheville, in this case), black mountain is (was, several years ago) a fine choice. beautiful spot.

Uhm, North Carolina elected Jesse Helms to the Senate for more years than most Americans have been alive. While there are stretches of sanity in North Carolina, there’s a big swathe of the state that’s just as bugfuck crazy as Crackerville Florida. And they’re the ones who vote. Thus why North Carolina has a teabagger Governor and teabagger Legislature that are wrecking the place right now.

In reply to hipparchia.

North Carolina is actually relatively sane compared its neighbor to the South.

I waiting for the Repubs to start saying he was a lefty atheist, because rightwing Christians never ‘sin’, assuming they ever admit the attack happened.

All of the early reporting identified him as being from North Carolina. I can understand his feeling comfortable in Colorado Springs

actually, much of north Carolina isn’t all that fundie compared to say, here, and certainly not compared to Colorado springs. he sure had to drive a looooooong way to find a town that he could believe in.

also, there’s this – http://www.theonion.com/article/frustrated-gunman-cant-believe-how-far-he-has-driv-51923

Concerning the ‘debate’ – they don’t seem to understand the paradox of claiming to be ‘pro-life’ and murdering people.

We have had three people murdered locally by these terrorists, so it is impossible for me to accept that the ‘pro-life’ thugs have anything reasonable to say. They have threatened people that I consider friends, so this is personal.

All of the early reporting identified him as being from North Carolina. I can understand his feeling comfortable in Colorado Springs, as it is a notably fundamentalist evangelical area, and the source of all of the religious freedom complaints about the Air Force Academy.

Also, it appears that he moved to Colorado a year ago, so he didn’t drive 1400 miles, he drove more like 14 miles. The confusion arose because a TV station in North Carolina showed the cabin he used to live in, and people thought that was where he was still living.

If you can’t win an argument without killing someone, maybe the problem is that your argument is weaker than the other person’s argument, and you should re-think your position.

Not that these terrorist dipwads ever do.
