Now it is finally here!  The South Will Rise Again!!!! 

Obama has declared that Chevy and Dodge pull out of NASCAR.  This will probably kill NASCAR.  If Obama wanted to finally alienate the South, he has done it.  The Stars and Bars are going to wave and a huge NASCAR car will be in the middle of them!  The congresses are meeting as we speak!

Well, as much as I hate to see my country torn asunder, it is time to choose sides!  Who will you choose: Obama or NASCAR?  The line has been drawn, there is no pulling back!  Will you support NASCAR and the rights of every American, will you stand with the south?  Or will support Obama and the destruction of the right to always turn left?  Choose a side, you must!

Me?  Well, I like Jeff Gordon.  And even Tony Stewart supports do-it-yourself.  (But the new South might have to get a better anthem, how do you fight if you are always looking away?)  Well, I shall go and gather my stuff together, I must be sure to pack my biscuit recipe, it is the only way to prove my loyalty!
