I'm one of those redneck white trash voters in Flyover Country. Thanks for the compliment, Heather!

It’s rather sad that these obviously disturbed people actually believe we care about what they think.

No different than Obama saying we cling to our guns and religion. It’s the arrogance of the elistist snobs showing over and over.

The World’s Hatred
18 “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. 19 The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. 20 Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you. 21 They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the One who sent me. 22 They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Anyone who hates me also hates my Father. 24 If I hadn’t done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still hate me and my Father. 25 This fulfills what is written in their Scriptures[a]: ‘They hated me without cause.’

The CBC, in the land of emulators of hillbillies, is projecting.

If the Obamanations keep this up — it won’t be long before some start hurling the dreaded and banned “N” word back at them....

They are certainly confirming the stereotype for rude classless behavior associated with the slur they frequently call themselves..

They can’t argue the issues — describe solutions that can work — so they blame others for everything and hurl insults..

This may violate Canada’s hate speech legislation?

The columnist called Alaska a “frontier state full of drunks and crazy people”, and I’m still looking for the insult.
