Growing up, my family camped a lot. There were no hotels or motels where a mixed race couple could stay. Race laws prevented it, everywhere, north and south. Now I could go on about this stuff for a few hours, with my own little documentary of the Civil Rights Movement. ALl I'm going to say is that, for you whining little snot nosed brats with your total lack of knowledge of where you came from and who sacrificed to make the election of Obama possible at all, what people went through, for you to sit in your privileged little world and think yourselves fit to pronounce that the election of Obama means nothing. You who have never had to put your lives on the line for anything. All I can say is, you have no clue. I think you might be grumpy because you need a diaper change. Go find you mommies.

Wow!  I happen to think that Obama is progress. But you have responded in the fashion of the Bageant redneck.

That, really, was what the question was about. Does Bageant describe the folks in the Heartland, those who are now expected to reform around a new Republican force and push forward the Palins to represent them.

Don't forget, oh Retired one, that we of the longer toothed generation, can identify with Bageant, who is really lamenting the loss of some different values (not the loss of the KKK).

Or perhaps you haven't read him ?
