Absolutely, probably not one you will enjoy.
What I want to see is those newsrooms go out of business completely and everybody associated with them lose their jobs, their homes, and their families.
Both are allegedly "uneducated." Both speak a sub-standard English. Both practice an emotional, revivalistic, Protestant religion. Yet every one of these shared characteristics is loathed among "rednecks" and adored among Blacks.
Maybe Blacks are the "good son" who listens to Papa and does everything he says, while the "rednecks" are the "bad son?"
I’ll venture a guess and say that liberals would also love “rednecks” if they could be suckered into voting for liberal democrats. It’s all about power, and the Blacks are unfortunately giving it to them.
I would call it capitalists vs communists. Rush is starting a capitalist insurgency. Beautiful.
But the Fairness Doctrine will definitely put a dent into Rush’s actions, at least until Rush officially moves to satellite radio.
I don't know . . . it's all about the dialectic, and the dialectic requires a "bad guy" (antithesis) to resist the thesis.
Maybe "rednecks" wouldn't be so hostile to liberals if the liberals treated them like they do Blacks. But they very obviously don't. They inflate Blacks' self-image with what is essentially ultra-right wing "blood and soil" nationalism ("Afro-Centrism"). OTOH they run down "rednecks" constantly (granted, rednecks don't seem to be from anywhere, which is one of the things that makes them vulnerable as the "other" in an otherwise "multicultural" society). Liberals make fun of "redneck" speech patterns, laziness, ignorance, violence, and prejudices while absolutely ignoring the same things in the Black culture (Blacks get a pass when it comes to issues such as "homophobia" and Biblical literalism, if you haven't noticed). Liberals wave the Pan-African flag (right wing blood and soil nationalism again) while burning the American flag (the only flag rednecks have to identify with). They tell Blacks to vote in their own interest. They tell rednecks to sacrifice theirs. They tell Blacks they have been wronged. They tell the rednecks they are the ones who have perpetrated the wrong.
These are two diametrically opposed ways of dealing with people. The rednecks are almost intentionally alienated by the liberals. Liberals would never appeal to redneck culture, prejudices, religion, or identity the way they respond to these factors in the identical twin Black population.
Hegel requires a "bad guy." And unfortunately, rednecks are "it."
By the time they get around to it most of the media will be “owned” by the government anyway. Like the vangaurd newspapers being taken over. The police state is slowly enveloping us. But surely.
Yeah, we'll be inside the razor-topped fence of the re-education camp, starving, and they'll be outside, glancing at us smugly, holding the guns to keep us where we are.
Not I.
Gee whiz, Governor Palin’s husband is a Native American, for goodness sake ....
Never seen Shuster before. He is not exactly what you’d describe as the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Don’t leave out Albert Gore Sr. and Bull Connor....
Which is nothing compared to what they are trying to steal from this country.
