About 1:19 Dr Carson has his moment.
Sarah Palin needs to be someone's running mate.
Been there, done that, wasn't much fun the first time.

I should have known better not to have a run in elsewhere with someone about Deuteronomy chapter 22. Those were different times, and the someone seemed to be justifying it.

I wish Cressbeckler would run again
Here he is on his talk show talkin immigrants
Or, his inciting an attack on a critic
Lived and live in the south but never ran into folk that doubt that evolution is a fact or that the earth is billions of years old or that humans are not just another primate or ...
That nonsense seems to be more a characteristic of the predominantly a product of the avoidance schools of the Christian Cult of Ignorance that grew up beginning in the 70s so little Johnny didn't have to sit next to a monkey. Unfortunately little Johnny learned that those folk weren't monkeys and so the Christian Cult of Ignorance had to find some other way to brainwash the young'uns.
But I was educated before ignorance was fashionable and in one of the Pre-avoidance Christian schools and so did not have the requirement that I check my brain at the door.
Yeah, what you are describing is the South. But then again, that kind of idiocy is not limited to South. Kansas tried to stop teaching about evolution in their schools at point, IIRC.
Isn't Texas considered South? I get differing answers. Some say Texas is Texas, others say certain parts of Texas is South but not other parts.
The avoidance schools were not just a Southern creation but rather common wherever the Christian Cult of Ignorance held sway. The older larger denominations with long established education systems like most Catholic schools and the Creedal Protestant denominations (Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran) as well as the Mennonite/Amish and Quaker schools never seemed to have much of a problem with reality and facts.
Texas is big and varied as most Big things are. Where I live is relatively liberal (Think, "Senator, You are no Jack Kennedy!" Bentsen quote to Senator Dan Quayle) while further north gets increasingly Conservative.
