Disconnected from Obama's America: Rural areas that rejected him are wary of his urban views

Obama and the Ivy League? Let’s see his grades, his papers, things he has written and if he was enrolled as a foreign student. Why is it ALL sealed.

The only writing we have seen, not the ghost written Ayres books, is his creepoy poetic odes to his “daddy” figure pervert Franklin Marshall Davis.

The arse cannot finish a sentence unless he is on a teleprompter.

How about his clever wife who wrote a racist screed paper that Christopher Hitchens said was so poorly written it was laughable.

How dare rural Americans who obey the law not want to be like a con man from murder city Chicago. Typical condescending sh*te from the dying MSM.

Their lives live good and fat off DEPENDENT people.

The only way that life style can continue is by having a steady stream of revenue. That only comes from have people productively employed. Keynesian spending of money stolen from the taxpayers generates nothing of value. The politicians are on a drunken spending spree. They're killing the economy with high taxes and regulations.

The HiPoint is butt ugly, but has a very good feeling action. I can't speak for the accuracy, just the smoothness of the action judged with snap caps at the gun shop.

The gun you have beats the one you don't have.

“”I’m worried that he’s not gonna understand the rural way of life,” he says.”

Well, sir, Bush, McCain and most of the elite running this country don’t understand it either. They don’t like the ‘rural way of life’. That points to independence, self-reliance....can’t have that going on! Sarah Palin gets it....that’s why they hate her so.

“

premise. his views aren’t “urban”. “urban” does not equal socialist. “urban” does not equal leftist. “urban” my rear end.”

Go take a look at some of the election maps. The Urban areas are liberal....they elect our representatives. People in rural areas have NO representation. Urban and liberal go hand in hand and have all through history.....crime comes with it.

Excellent....Isn’t posting a post like this the way ALAMO Girl got started?

urban areas are majoratively liberal, mainly because they’re majoritively black/hispanic.

there are still plenty of conservatives, they’re just unrepresented!

that doesn’t mean his views are “urban”. that’s just a darn codeword for leftist. always trying to hide who they really are

Appreciate the compliment, but truthfully, she did so much more:

"Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with." ~Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Ayn Rand was a prophet.

Hey It’s a start....Thank you for pinging her. Could not get name to come up..... spelling incorrectly, I guess.

Actually, backhoe, I found your work to be so much better. I acted like an unofficial secretary gathering excerpts manually as if on many, many, many 3x5 cards and cross referencing them. You, on the other hand, used hotlinks which preserved the source information!

If someone wishes to do a DSL for the Obama administration, I'd recommend using a database: gather the urls and source information, title, lead sentence, list of names or things mentioned in the article.

We are rural and we are very wary of his views.

What he is doing and what he plans on doing is going to ruin this country. I worry about the life our children and grandchildren will be living.

I have stopped reading anything about Obama. Otherwise I would spend my days crying.

I hope that you were jesting about urban areas being mostly black or hispanic. There were a lot of dumb whiteys who voted this time. I am just as disappointed as yourself that the liberal conniving lying evil media keep going on and on about his blackness. It fills air space and keeps them from having to confront the real obamanation: the muslim, terrorist buddy, illegal, zero qualified fraud. Urban areas are racially mixed. You must get off the farm even less than I do. I go to town once a month whether I need it or not.

Nice presentation. Hold that thought.

“There were a lot of dumb whiteys who voted this time.”

Very true. “dumb whiteys” for 0?

“I hope that you were jesting about urban areas being mostly black or hispanic.”

A bit of an overgeneralisation, but mostly true. http://www.city-data.com/ - useful site. Lots of cities where “minorities” are the majority.

I’m as encouraged as anyone when I see a black conservative like Clarence Thomas, who would make a fine president, probably a lot better than Bush. But vast majority they are reflexively voting for dims. And in the race between obama & clinton, we discovered that blacks easily are the most racist people in America. the numbers don’t lie. Whites don’t deserve the crap attitude from blacks. The generation of whites around now have done nothing bad to the blacks.

I will scribe it on the frontlet of my forehead...

Thanks, LucyT

Ping.

You're a class act here on Free Republic, backhoe.

Fly over country can survive without the cities, but the cities can't survive without fly over country and our hard, honest workers.

Is it time to divide the nation for real?
