[quote=Anonymous]Some folks in DC are intellectual snobs who look down on any state that is not on either coast and on all religion.  I’m a liberal church goer who grew up in “fly-over” country.  I do sometime take offense at generalizations that come out of folks mouths.  Honestly, I think you need to be yourself, and understand that the intellectual elite often lack perspective and real world experience with ppl different from themselves. But that’s not everyone by a long shot!  There is an us vs them mentality that some liberals adopt that leads them to put all conservatives or southerners in a box that assumes there is no variation in their point of view.  And the Elitism is insane (“they’re voting against their own interests” without any sense that maybe a white  lady in Bethesda doesn’t know what the interests of a Latino man in Texas are)

Have you found a church community here?  My one piece of advice would be to try to be more direct then southerners often are. Folks here lack patience for the indirect signals and pleasantries and want you to say what you mean and get to the point.  You might also want to practice a couple of one-liners that calls ppl out for any sort of anti-south bias. [/quote]
