Liberals, like Andrea Mitchell, love having minorities around providing they stay in their neighborhoods and allow wealthy liberals to drive through and feel sorry for them.

Just out of curiosity, Mrs. Greenspan, who is making that rap?

Fly-over country is an anathema to the Libbies on both coasts. If it weren't for elections, those Libbies couldn't even consider 'fly-over country' as having any relevance. And they are trying to sideline 'fly-over country' in elections by doing away with the Electoral College.

Why, because, as Mitchell says, "...too white, too evangelical, too rural."

Notice that she omitted too patriotic. Just an oversight, I'm sure. [/s]

OK, like Hilliary, she made points with all the non-whites,and the diversity crowd.

If she had been at the signing of the “Declaration of Independance” she would have said: “Too white, too evangelical, and too country!”

THANK GOD THEY WERE!
That was over 200 years ago, and nobody before, nor since has build a nation of freedom we have tasted, and celebrated!

Well, well. Ol’ Angrea pokes her sourpuss out like Punxatawney Phil.

She can’t see her reflection so twelve weeks of nastiness ensues? Is that how it works?

As a native Iowan, Andrea, you can kiss the whitest part of my backwoods Iowa ass.

Iowa is 60% urban and has no greater percentage of evangelicals than the national average.

When I look at the vast infrastructure of our country, the many inventions that make the world a safer and more comfortable place to live, and the halls of justice established by our forefathers - I am overwhelmed with respect and gratitude for our white men.
