Truer words were never spoken. BC always reminded me of this con man from an episode of the Dukes of Hazzard.
I thought Monica was his cousin? ? Now wouldn't that have been something... Cousin Monica and the Cigar.../sarc
We got ourselves "canyon-critters" up here in north-west Montana to go with our rednecks. ><
Clinton is pure white trash with money.....other people's money, that is! God only knows how much of our money he stole from us when he was in office.
MY CRIMES THEY ARE AMAZIN’
(parody of "The Times They Are A'Changin'")
...The time is a'comin'
When the curtains will crash.
Like my low down gals,
I’ll be labeled white trash.
And my presidential power,
Will later be cashed.
New world order is rapidly fadin'.
And the First Lady's qualms,
Will someday be what’s vast.
For my crimes they are amazin'.
As far as this, it is amazing how Rangel feels -- and knows -- he can get by with the double standard and use a term that is unequivocably racial with impunity.
As Proud Midwesterner born and bred it is so fine to see the soul of "Red State" profile so eloquently defined.
I love my God my wife my country and my life. I'm a cowboy (red neck) but by God don't you mention Bill Clinton and me in the same sentence you snooty New York libs.
Has everyone noticed how "roddem" has disapeared from hitlary's name?
She is branding herself as "clinton", one word.
Are we to be surprised that a ivory tower educated, yalie lawyer is not a red neck?
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.
Yeppers and that would make Hillary a
White Trash bag
rednecks in the news
Kinduva contradictory statement there - makes me wonder if they really know what they're a talking 'bout.
Hillbillies and rednecks are not the same. Rednecks are more sophisticated than hillbillies because - they have NASCAR....;-)
Ask Jeff Foxworthy if Clinton is a redneck or not.
