Screw you, Michelle.

That sure doesn’t sound like my home town.

Cities full of moral decay...nyt writer....Hey let’s befoul the country side too!!!!

[exDemMom]

Oh, look. A city girl decided to move to the country. And she still has no idea how real America thinks or how the world works.

Perhaps she should take the time to garden, go fishing, or learn to can food. Perhaps if she could stop condescending long enough to actually do something productive, she would start to understand the real America that ignorant city snobs have so much contempt for.

We are not afraid of immigrants

We object to the government-sponsored invasion of foreigners-The corrupt government.

People can be irritating.

There are a lot of people in a big city.

That can be a lot of irritation.

So people learn to ignore problems and pretend to be civil.

Isn’t that what Liberals do?

Name the church in Underwood, Minnesota, where they’re having a conversation about race!

These people are nuts.

[Old Yeller]

In my little town
I grew up believing
God keeps his eye on us all
And he used to lean upon me
As I pledged allegiance to the wall
Lord I recall my little town
Coming home after school
Riding my bike past the gates of the factories
My mom doing the laundry
Hanging out shirts in the dirty breeze
And after it rains there’s a rainbow
And all of the colors are black
It’s not that the colors aren’t there
It’s just imagination they lack
Everything’s the same back in my little town

Judging a church by how many Leftist causes it supports is “the broad way” to Hell that Jesus warns Christians about.

Sure, she's an annoying PC scold. Most of her tweets, though, are about Claas Relotius, the German journalist who wrote fake articles for Der Spiegel. He wrote some about Fergus Falls, where she lives, and she helped uncover the fraud. So in a way, she did end up sticking up for the town and its "deplorables" after all. Only in America!

[TChad]

In graduate school, I thought seriously about what sustainability means, and I realized that it starts with individuals and their relationship to place.

How noble of you! How high-minded!

Or actually, how smug.

Leftists just don't understand that smug is ugly.

I worry about the anthropological attention to rural America. It has ranged from exaggerated or even fake “Trump country” exposés, to well-intentioned but out-of-touch efforts to mend the “urban-rural divide,” to patronizing television contests in which viewers vote for the “best small town” in their state.

I wonder if she has a window box or rooftop "garden"...

Like Charlie Daniels says of farmers (rural folks), "If the man don't work, the people don't eat..."

[Fresh Wind]

My home town is infested with liberals.

[Gay State Conservative]

Elitists? Writing for the NY Times? Who wouldda thunk it!

[Skooz]

Michelle manages to cramp all the leftist, bumper sticker slogan, liberal gobblydook clichés into the first paragraph.

I guess this is a device to assure her whacko leftoid readers of her libtard cred.

[central_va]

Is there a point this rambling tome?

[bravo whiskey]

My hometown is Baltimogadishu in the Peoples Republic of Maryland. I think not even if I was,allowed to carry.

Trying to remake small-town America.
