It's true that crime is much more common in the city than in the country. he did kinda gloss right past the obvious fact that the 'clingers' are armed and [righteously] dangerous...

Steve Chapman jumped the shark a long time ago...he has some serious issues and probably needs some mental medicine. I’m going over to Townhall to watch the ObamaMorons flock to the comments.

She used only one absolute in this quote: "they are
always proud of their country." Every other comment was not at all exclusive. I've taken the liberty to edit her statement to read as the author infered it:
"We grow good the best people in our small towns, with honesty, sincerity and dignity," she declared, quoting the late journalist Westbrook Pegler. "They are the ones who do some all of the hardest work in America, who grow our food, run our factories and fight our wars. They love their country, in good times and bad, and they're always proud of America."

Steve Chapman lives in the Chicago area and is generally speaking, a conservative. He attended Harvard University and at times, it tends to show.

"They are the ones who do some of the hardest work in America, who grow our food, run our factories and fight our wars. They love their country, in good times and bad, and they're always proud of America." Not like those idle, insincere, lying city folks who dare to suggest that America can sometimes be wrong. Note to Steve Chapman:
Praising one segment of the population does not denigrate the rest. Just as when I praise my son for his good grades, I'm not telling my daughter her grades are inadequate.

Not to worry — she is a sweetie with a core of steel. She doesn’t have to act like a beayotch to prove she’s tough like the lefty women. I don’t worry about this stuff getting to her.

One could almost consider the movement into cities to be an emigration, like the Irish did in coming to America. Excellent analogy. And the Irish considered it to be an exile, and even held wake-like ceremonies before departure. Emigration was an economic necessity.
Perhaps telecommuting will facilite a repatriation into small towns. It would be good for the soul of America.

I would propose that the drug problem went from the cities to the country. The problem in our neck of the woods is the city kids that got kicked out of school and sent to live with Grandma or some other relative in the country, then attend our schools, but still have their "connections" in the city.
To: ichabod1
Thanks for the upbeat message. I sure hope and pray that you are right. By the way, what’s a “beayotch”?
To: Tax-chick
but isn’t that, in effect, exactly what Obams did in San Fran, when discussing the rubes who cling to their religion and guns in the heartland?

"Joe Biden would never get up in front of a crowd and suggest that the citizens of Manhattan are morally superior to the residents of Possum Gulch, Ark." Maybe not, but Barack Obama would. I mean, already has.

Is the author trying to defend elitism ?
I think McCain should use Obama's snide remark abut the common person being bitter, etc.
To: Kaslin
Joe Biden would never get up in front of a crowd and suggest that the citizens of Manhattan are morally superior to the residents of Possum Gulch, Ark. I've heard such similar sentiments voiced by the Left regarding those who live in flyover country. The Left referred to this area as "Jesusland" the day after the 2004 election.
10 most liveable cities lists include PROXIMITY TO NYC among the requirements.
And of course there was Carville's crack about dragging a twenty dollar bill through a trailer park even though Paula Jones did not live in one.
And one more...

Joe Biden would never get up in front of a crowd and suggest that the citizens of Manhattan are morally superior to the residents of Possum Gulch, Ark.Maybe, maybe not. But Obama has asserted any number of times that limo liberals are superior to conservatives in every way. But of course, the liberal media wants us to forget that.
