Sounds kinda like how some liberals cling to the delusion they are smarter than everyone else and are entitled to run the country, or how young black politicians looking to build their cred cling to their racist pastors.
Guess everyone clings to something...
I’ll second that statement, bigtime!
Rural Ohio Appalachian bump!
And where do you suppose the Scots-Irish who settled the Carolinas originally came from? Small towns in Pennsylvania in the 1700s and 1800s. Look at the Pennsylvania place names if you need proof of the Scots-Irish heritage—Armaugh, Donegal, Grampian, Edinboro, and on and on.
So, this numbskull is smearing small town Pennsylvanians as bitter, bigoted, religious extremists who tote guns around fixin’ to shoot every minority and illegal in sight, huh? Wait this gets spread around in Pennsylvania. This guy will be burnt toast. I’ve talked to Reagan Democrat types, blue collar workers in my small town in Pennsylvania. They’re very interested in John McCain. They can’t stand the elitist snob Obama.
I totally appreciate your opinion on this. I think this will weigh down His Majesty Obama signficiantly.
City slickers have always thought like that about those of us who live rural”
I have lived both.
I was raised rural on a Wisconsin dairy farm.
I lived for a number of years-29-in Los Angeles.
Now live rural again.
Would NEVER move back to the ci-ty.
Visitor last week couldn’t get it when I told him I drove to the feed store and picked up what I wanted. All he could keep repeating was “They MUST deliver it to you. You shouldn’t be handling those heavy bags.”
I finally called him a city slicker and told him: Out here, if I want something, I GO TO the store and get it and bring it back home and fill my feed tubs accordingly.

Interestingly, I received a great letter today from the Patriot Post. I'll post a portion of it below.....combined with your article, it paints a perfect picture of Obama, as well as liberals in general.
If some aren't familiar with Patriot Post, it's a great newsletter, and again, this is an excerpt their newsletter, which can be found at:
www.patriotpost.com
"Barack Hussein Obama is an archetypal liberal case study. Obama, William Jefferson Clinton, Albert Arnold Gore, John F. Kerry and, of course, Edward “Chappaquiddick” Kennedy, all share a common ailment—what I have aptly described in some detail as the Pathology of the Left.
Leftists are uniformly defined by their hypocrisy and dissociation from reality. They speak of unity, but they foment division, appealing to the worst in human nature by separating Americans into dependent constituencies. They support freedom of thought, unless those thoughts don’t comport with theirs. They feign tolerance while practicing intolerance. They resist open discussion and debate of their views, yet seek to silence dissenters. They protest for natural order while advocating for homosexuality and abortion. They assert their First Amendment rights, except, of course, when it comes to religion, whence they impose the doctrines of secular atheism on everyone else. They decry SUVs, except those that they own. They advocate mass transit but commute on private jets. They believe trial lawyers save lives and doctors kill people. They believe the solution to racism is to treat people differently on the basis of the color of their skin rather than the content of their character. They deride moral clarity because they can’t survive its scrutiny.
Ad infinitum...
Why do most liberals believe what they believe—and act the way they act?
Psychopathology dictates and frames worldview, and worldview manifests in such things as political affiliation.
Leftists politicos tend to be chronic overachievers because they have suffered significant loss—often the result of the disconnect with their earthly fathers. They subscribe to rigid doctrines and “nanny state” regimes to satiate their persistent insecurity, the result of low self-esteem and arrested emotional development associated, predominantly, with fatherless households or critically dysfunctional families in which they were not adequately affirmed.
Obama manifests all of these characteristics, and clinically speaking, there is a diagnosis. Leftists are pathological case studies of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—the standard reference used for psychiatric evaluation.
Of course, there are many conservatives who were raised by a single parent or in critically dysfunctional or impoverished homes. However, somewhere along the way, they were lifted out of their misery by the grace of God—often in the form of a significant mentor who modeled individual responsibility and character. As a result, they have the courage to internalize their locus of responsibility.
Leftists, on the other hand, externalize responsibility for problems and solutions by holding others (read: conservatives) to blame for their ills, and by bestowing upon the state the duty for arbitrating proper conduct—even proper thought.
A footnote: It’s no coincidence that conservative political bases tend to be suburban or rural, while liberal political bases tend to be urban. The social, cultural and economic blight in many urban settings are Leftist breeding grounds for legions of the disenfranchised, those who are largely dependent on the state for all manner of their welfare, protection and sustenance.
These legions identify with Barack Obama. That is the substance, the essence of Obama.
To be sure, all good-hearted Americans should feel a degree of compassion for Barack Obama, whose formative years were marked by complete familial disintegration. But that is not a reason to elect him president."
McCain--idiot. He will not make anything of this unless he has loosed his keepers from their "Must play nice in the sandbox pledges.".
vaudine
Our guns seem to fascinate Barry, have you noticed?””
Sounds like the Muzzie candidate imight be a little afraid of us with guns, eh?

Luckily you don't see any in small town Pennsylvania.
Okay, he got me.
I can't stand freakin' socialist scumbags.
McCain is an idiot, and he wont do it. He's running an "honorable" campaign.
Condescending BS, thanks CBB
I live in a small town and a nearby copper smelter closed in this area about 8 years ago. I am religious, cling to my guns, and I may be dumber than a box of rocks- but I am still smarter than Obama.
Remember: This is Barak Obama's very first serious campaign of his life (outside of local politics in his adopted Chicago South Side neighorhood).
His (only) Senate campaign was not against Alan Keyes, it was against Jack Ryan, who quit the campaign after his divorced wife made nasty comments about their relationship. Keyes came in literally weeks before the election. It's like running against a dead man.
Obambi is naive and untested and it is beginning to show.
“Obama handed McCain a golden BB. If he does not put right between that racist’s peepers he is an idiot”
McCain will flub it.
And he can’t make hay on some of the things like “anti-trade” and “anti-immigrant” insults because he hold the same views.
To insult Smalltown USA is politically like saying military veterans are unintelligent violence prone freeloaders. It's death for Obama's campaign, but because his San Francisco Billionaire Buddies don't get it, he will continue on, right over the cliff.
