I was just surprised to hear such irrational, bigoted trash talk coming from you. You made it clear that you despise Southerners and working class people, that sneering tone really put you in a bad light.
“They may go on TV and say stuff like “Sweet Jeeeeeesus, I thought that thar tornader was gonna take ma trailer!” but that doesn’t mean you’ll find these folks in church on Sunday in large numbers. Actually, you won’t. Trust me, I’ve done a lot of door-to-door and visitation in a lot of neighbourhoods, and this type of folk talk a lot about God and they sound religious, but don’t typically have much to do with religion. Yet, when they vote Democrat so that the welfare will keep flowing, you then have people like meadsjn squawking about all these “SoCons” are voting Democrat. Except these folks aren’t SoCons. They aren’t really against abortion, and to the extent that they would oppose gay marriage, it would not be out of any moral or philosophical principles, but instead would be because “them queers jus’ ain’t raaaht.”
You're right - I DO despise people who draw welfare checks and watch Jerry Springer all day, who use emergency rooms as taxpayer-paid clinics, who pump out babies from three different baby daddies, and who are more likely to make a living by selling meth than from honest labour. I despise them very much.
But guess what? I'm not talking about either working class people or Southerners in general when I describe this type of person. Think along the lines of Levi Johnson (who is not a Southerner, and who doesn't seem inclined to get a real job of ANY sort) - HIS type of person.
