He is making a profit off of our money as we speak.
While on his little tsunami aid trip....he has been making public events for his book!
They are charging people 200 bucks a ticket to go to the signing.
AND HE HAS NO OVERHEAD.....Since his hotel and ride are paid for by the US on the tsunami trip.
Joe Scarborough reported it.
That is what a whole bunch of us from Arkansas tried to tell people for years. His entire family was, is and always be white trash. And he married white trash!
I remember at one time the budget office couldn't find a trillion dollars. All I could think about was him pocketing it. I'm sure he scammed us out of millions. You're right. IF we knew, I'd want to lynch him AGAIN after we lynched him for being a traitor. LOL
Spoken like a true rednex. :)
Now my brother is in Alabama. He is a redneck.
Rangel does not get the complexity of southern life.
the slimeball is not a "redneck". He's just a "red" and has his sojourn to Russia while in college and his selling of our nuke secrets to China to prove that. S/he is/are the proverbial "Manchurian candidate(s)". On the matter of "trash"; we have Charlie Rangel. Now anybody who knows anything about colloquilisms knows that "redneck" is intended as a derrogatory terms aimed at poor southern whites by those who (falsely) believe themselves superior (think: "Noo YAWK liberal"). This is to say that a black man calling a white man a "redneck" is intended in the same derrogatory sense as a white man calling a black "nigger". So why is it that a black elected official gets away with racist remarks like that and nobody calls HIM on the carpet for racism??
He used to be a redneck, but now all of the redness has gone to his nose.
<< Rednecks may not have the best education .... >>
Not true.
Rednecks as a Rule have the very very very best of Education -- of the kind, as often as not, that's not too badly buggared up by a lotta dumbest-denominator schoolin'!
Not bad though.
Half a sentence to take issue with in the whole piece.
The Author needs to spend more time on freerepublic. Then he would change this opinion!
isn't it amazing that caucasians have to do verbal gymnastics when referring to a member of Mr Rangel's race, yet he can use a term like "redneck" without hesitation and apparently get away with it ?
I grew up in cheap apartments and trailor parks and have been called 'white trash' so many times I couldnt even guestimate the number.
When I grew up, we looked up to rednecks as they had regular incomes.
Bill Clinton disgraced his office in a way that no one I knew growing up would, as we had more respect for the Presidency than that.
Bill Clinton is just an amoral lawyer, and thats a lot lower than 'white trash' any day.
Reminds me of a joke where this DC lawyer spends his two week vacation each year at the same little hotel in rural West Virginia. He watched the young daughter of the hotel owner grow up into a beautiful woman and fell into an affair with her one summer.
When he returned the next summer, he found her bouncing a baby on her knee - and yes, it was his son.
'Why, Mary Lou, I would have done the honorable thing and married you. Why didnt you tell me you were pregnant?' he asked.
'Well, my family and me stayed up till 3 am at the kitchen table talkin it over', she replied, 'and we finally decided that it would be better to have a bastard in the family than a lawyer.'
That about sums it up for me.
Bump that! This author has a growing presence in conservative circles here, but I'm reserving judgment on him so far. He paints with a mighty broad brush, as it were. I hesitate to go further, yet ... but the origin of the term "white trash" is in the assumption that ALL black people are trash.
Yeppers and that would make Hillary a
White Trash bag
"Cousin Monica and the Cigar"
I think I saw that on Spectravision once.... ;)
Hmmm I don't see your linkage at all...but I guess you do
