[Vision2020] [Vision2020 liberals, courts, and Tony (was Pledge)

[keely emerinemix]

One, I don't use the term "redneck," which has nonetheless entered into a 
pretty profitable arena for certain comedians and their followers, who 
presumably ought to be the ones to take offense.  Two, I don't regularly 
read the Lewiston Tribune.  Three, "foamers," a term I have used, and 
"knuckle-draggers," which describes certain of my high school boyfriends, 
has nothing to do with race, economic class, or religion.  Four, it stuns me 
that you don't see the difference that makes "ragheads" and "tar babies" 
utterly hateful.  And, five, the entire Quad Cities is not exactly waiting 
to hear my pronouncements on what constitutes bigotry.  I'm pretty sure no 
one is.

Believe me, I can live with the risk that I might appear inconsistent to 
people who  fail to grasp these points.  There are others, but five is as 
high as I can count without coffee.

Clearly you are unwilling to accept my explanation as regards my motives, 
keely.  That is your right as a free American.  My conscience is clear 
however, as I know in my heart that it is the BEHAVIOR of these bomb 
throwing murderers that I was referring to, and not their race.  I must 
comment that I find your indignation on this point to be curiously 
selective.  The Lewiston Tribune and local liberals have for years 
denigrated conservative white folk as "knuckle draggers," "foamers," 
"rednecks," and the like.  All of course, without a peep from you. 
Apparently it is fine and dandy to slam people of pallor.  I might suggest 
that if you wish folks to regard your indignation as legitimate, you may 
wish to be a little more consistent.

Happy holidays,  -T
