(1,364 posts)Have you been to West Virginia? Do you know people from West Virginia?
Do we need to insult every group that is not like us? They are poor and coal is all they know.
By the way, they have voted for a Democrat Senator for years and split with Virginia to fight with the Union Army. In addition, the Apalachin soldiers fought so brutally that we won the Revolutionary War. The Apalachin soldiers were immigrants from Scottland and Ireland and had fought England for years in the "Mother Land", so they knew how to fight and win against England. Feel free to correct my understanding of history - I was not a history major.
In Summary:
They were smart enough to elect a Democrat, they were smart enough to split from Virginia during the Civil War, they were smart enough to kick the a** out of England during the Revolutionary War. We actually owe a lot to West Virginia and West Virginians should be proud of their heritage and contribution to America.
