I remember hearing a fundamentalist preacher on the radio, back in 1970 something say this. The trouble with do gooders is that they don’t do good you see!” That’s pretty good for a fundamentalist preacher on the radio I’d say.

Always beware of a Southerner who pretends to be ignorant. I can talk to a fundamentalist preacher any day with more ease than with a priest of Political Correctness, aka, an Intellectual.
Howard Bakerof Tennessee was Ranking Repulican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Sam Ervin of North Carolina was Chairman.
Once Sam Ervin repeated his mantra:
“I’m just a country lawyer from North Carolina.”
Baker burst out, “Dammit, Sam, you know that you’re a MAGNA Cum Laude graduate othe Harvard Law School!”
Sam leaned back and said, “Yea, Howard, but nobody will ever know it.”

That reminds me — Ben Bernanke, Greenspan’s successor, MIT graduate, etc….is
a Jewish fellow from Dillon, South Carolina.
As a high school student, he had a job at South of the Border…..
We Southerners are EVERYWHERE!
