Perhaps you should get down there and either give the criminals a piece of your mind or, drawing on your military experience, at least give your HONEST, LAW-ABIDING black brothers and sisters WEAPONS TRAINING so they can properly defend themselves. Posted on 11/09/2006 12:43:12 PM PST by WBL 1952
Charlie Rangel opens his mouth...and mocks the South: (hat tip: reader CRB)
“It’s not just committees — our influence within the House Democratic caucus will grow enormously,” Mr. Rangel said in an interview.
To that end, he sketched out an expansive federal agenda: Teaming up with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on gun control, passing new tax incentives for urban job programs, and redirecting federal money to New York in return for the outsize tax collections that the federal government makes here.
“Mississippi gets more than their fair share back in federal money, but who the hell wants to live in Mississippi?” Mr. Rangel said.
Bloody marvelous. They will cut their own throats for us.

Mississippi is one of our most beautiful states. I have driven the Natchez Trace Parkway several times during the fall leaf season. Fabulous! Does anyone outside of Mississippi know that in the fall the leaves turn red and gold there?
Brett Favre should beat the hell out of him on national TV>
Me.
The first thing I noted as well. I had just forwarded a recent GOA report and it looks like gun control will be a major priority for them. Almost feel like I should buy another gun and more ammo.
Ahem. NYC is only one part of NYS, which is made up mostly of red counties, BTW. Upstate's pretty nice. And I'll bet we have a lot in common with the folks in Mississippi :)
Can ANYONE explain to me why Clinton has an office in HARLEM?
"The Northeast is the new South," U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Forest Hills, said last week, arguing that his party, even if Iraq were to fade as an issue, would be able to continue to count on near solid support from the Mason-Dixon Line through New England.
Two big middle fingers for the South. When you're giddy from a win and drunk with power, you tend to reveal yourself. Who'd think they'd start resupplying us with ammo so soon after the election? I, for one, may just take a look at Mississippi. Property must be a steal, post Katrina. I'll take MS govenor Barbour over MD's newly elected O'Malley any day.
This is a "New York Buffoon Congresscum disses our state" Mississippi Ping.
Looks like it's already time to break out our beatin sticks.
Amen.
When will Rangel apologize and resign for offending Mississippi and the South?
You remind me of a rather painful dinner I once had. I worked for a company that had a headquarters in New York at one point. I went there on a business trip and dinner with my colleagues. One of my colleagues went out of her way to ensure I knew she was a liberal Democrat and that was part of where she came from and part of her "heritage".
I quietly endured this tirade. After she was done, I said, gently, "It's clear that given the last election, that apparently the opposite tradition is a touch more widespread."
It will likely come as no surprise that I left the company 6 months later. :)

Don't mind Charlie, folks. He's just showing his lack of class and national spirit.
Perhaps you should get down there and either give the criminals a piece of your mind or, drawing on your military experience, at least give your HONEST, LAW-ABIDING black brothers and sisters WEAPONS TRAINING so they can properly defend themselves. Again, thank you sit-at-home republicans for Charlie Rangel.
