The fact that you think of it as "fly-over country" proves the very
point you were trying to dismiss.
You assumed I was trying to dismiss anything. I couldn't care less
what the dubya-loving, enlightened-creationism, red-staters think of
the others parts of the US that provide for the majority of the GDP,
have the majority of highschool & college graduates and pay the
largest percentage of income taxes.
...and that part of the US that provides us with the most crime, the
drug addicts, endless social experiments that are known to fail every
(tiresome) time they are tried, oppressive laws by the binder full and
let's not forget, the very most base forms of immorality. Note that
your "pros" are all centered toward materialistic concerns. Telling.
Since when is employment, goods & services, education a materialistic &
immoral concern?
You used those things as evidence of how superior the coastal elites are. To
claim that such is an indicator of superiority is a textbook definition of
materialism. And it is indeed immoral to believe such temporal material goods
have any lasting value or are any indication of the stature of the person
bearing them.
Bill Gates is wealthy beyond imagination. He employs lots of well educated,
well paid, highly productive people. None of which changes the fact that the
whole mess is morally bankrupt and evil to the core.
Do you live in a real life Deliverence?
I presume that's a reference to that idiotic movie by Burt Reynolds some years
ago. Sad. That the scope of dialog you seem capable of engaging in is of no
higher plane than just to hurl such insults. Sad indeed.
*I* do however care what those areas of the US think of us red staters
if for no other reason than they are humans with feelings too and it
hurts to see them make one bad lift-ruining decision after another.
Especially for anyone who has read the Bible and therefore can't help
but know where it must lead. (Not to mention they are only happy if
they can manage to take the rest of the country into the toilet with
them.)
Bible thumping only frightens the bible thumpers.
Where is an attempt to frighten? I was explaining why *we* do care for the
coastal liberals. Because we know where their folly is taking them.
This pubescent quote is priceless: "dubya-loving,
enlightened-creationism, red-staters". Just call them names. No need
to be concerned with actual facts or truths.
Right. And Bruce's original comment that started this thread was purely
fact based. Pot, kettle, black.
The article that Bruce pasted-in made the assertion that the dependency that
is a natural and proven consequence of the welfare state greatly exacerbated
the problems in NOLA. That assertion is very much consistent with the facts
and observation of human behavior as well as the specifics of what happened on
the ground there. Have you said anything to counter those facts? No, you just
dismissed it as "propaganda". More liberal tactics, just hurl insult, call
names, and dismiss it with hand waving as if just saying it makes it so.
Lonni, you're smart. Very smart. If you know something to refute that, then
enlighten us. So far you haven't done it. As has none of the liberal leftists
who want us uneducated hicks to just believe them when they tell us this is
all dubya's fault.
