NEXT HE'LL TURN TO GUNS
Dave S. confesses to bitter religionism:
Well, I do go a-churchin’ every Sunday with a bunch of bitter folks who complain about how the government is evil and screws them over, and we yell an’ whoop it up when the preacher rails against them Italians and Jews, an’ then we …
Oops, wait a minute, that’s not me, that’s Barack Obama.
Similar thoughts from RightWingBob.
UPDATE. McCain senior advisor Mark Salter:
“It’s hard to keep a straight face when you’re accused of being out of touch by a guy who thinks the whole country is worried about the high price of arugula or that you hunt ducks with a six shooter.”
Obama’s latest remarks continue a blundering pattern.
UPDATE II. Grim numbers for Obama. Don’t get all bitter, now.
Well, lefties do tend to project their own problems and attitudes onto others, in an attempt to justify their own actions.
Obama being the ultra-leftie (i.e., an unabashed statist, falling just short of an outright Marxist) that he is, merely projects more than he intends.

The Democrats - Party of the People.
For God’s sake.
~Latino, proud garlic-nose.Well, of course Obama goes a-churchin’.
God needs the advice.
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2008 04 14 at 03:16 PM • permalinkThere are two classes of Pennsylvanians, yer ‘Stump Jumpers’ and yer ‘Ridge Runners.’ I am given to understand that both get double service from killing a rabbit. The catharsis of killing the little furry and cute and defenseless creature, thus symbolically assuming the position of “da man.”, and then afterwards there is the savory and health-giving soup, if you don’t mind a little bird shot in your meaty chunks.
Boy, don’t I know the feeling!
I used to drive an itty-bitty little tiny thing that pretended to be a car, but once I realized the tremendous failure of the Dimocrats’ 5 trillion-dollar boondoggle called the “Great Society”, well I had no choice but to distrust my government, get all bitter, go buy 7 guns, and a big ol V-8.

Now is a time of great decision
Are we to stay or up and quit ?
There’s no avoiding this conclusion
Our town is turning into shitThe following puts Obama firmly in the ABC camp of Phillip Adams’ Anti-Australians. Now that IS scary:
As for small-town Americans’ alleged “antipathy to people who aren’t like them”: During what Obama considers the terrible Clinton-Bush years of economic frustration, by any measurement of public opinion polling or observed behavior, Americans have become far more tolerant and respectful of minorities who are not “like them.”
Surely Obama knows this. Was he simply flattering his wealthy San Francisco donors by casting aspersions on the idiocy of small-town life…An interesting perspective from Baldilocks:
If you think about it, the fact that Obama lumped the perceived religion of the white, rural Pennsylvanian with “antipathy toward those not like them”--that is, racism, bigotry and anti-immigration (sic)--makes perfect sense.* The latter is bad and so is the former — if one is observing from the perspective of Black Liberation Theology.
In Obama’s mind, the religion clung to by the “average poor white Pennsylvanian” is BLT’s demonic “white” Church. The “white” Church is the tool of oppression for all—including poor whites—and should be shaken off just like other social maladies. Just like anti-immigration (sic) and racism. One will note that, in the defense of the earlier remarks, Obama still does not say anything objectively positive about the religion adhered to by the average rural white Pennsylvanian. What he actually says is that government should answer their prayers.

Ada (Running a cleaning rod through one of the barrels of her L.C. Smith 12 gauge shotgun): Zeke, this h’yar’s a right smart new barn ya got. How’d you ‘fford it? I thought I heard somewheres that yer chickens all come down with blackhead.
Zeke ( chomping on a wad of Red Man, while oiling the lever on his Marlin .30/.30): Made a killin’ sellin’ corn to one ‘a them ethanol cump’nies. I also pulled in some gravy from rentin’ out a few acres ‘a land up against the highway to a billboard outfit. This bein’ an election yahr, thar’s a lot ‘a folks who wanta advertise. The cump’ny what put up the billboards paid me a damn good price fer leasin’ ‘em that leetle bit ‘a ground (spits into an old, rusty Crisco can).
Elmer (removes the cylinder from his Super Blackhawk .44 magnum and begins wiping it with an oiled cloth; a smoldering cigarette clings to his lower lip like a grasshopper on a cabbage leaf): Haw! Yew seen who rented one ‘a them billboards, ain’t ya Zeke? That there Obama feller!
Ada: Land sakes! Zeke, ain’t he that Democrat what said we all ‘er holdin’ onta God and guns and ever’ thang else we believe in ‘cause the economic sitchiashun’s so turrible?
Zeke: Well, I reckon he did, Ada. But his money’s as good as the next feller’s, and thar’s a damn sight more of it; ‘sides, ain’t nobody in this h’yar county gonna vote fer him.
Elmer: Damn straight! I jes’ put forty more acres into tobacco, and got me a mess ‘a new peanut allotments; he’s tawkin’ ‘bout increasin’ the taxes on ever’ body what makes over $75,000!
Ada: Shoot! Me an’ Frank ain’t made that kinder small potatoes since what’s his name – that no account with the big grin, looked like Eleanor Roosevelt – Jimmy Carter! That’s the one. Since Jimmy Carter was the prez-a-dent.
Bob (works the slide action on his Sterling .25 caliber pistol and fires up a Camel Light; his choice of smokes and gun reinforces the general notion that he’s a bit of a liberal – maybe even what the folks refer to as, “kinda – you know”, the expression being accompanied with a fluttery waggling of the hand): I ‘on’t know. Maybe all this h’yar change Obama’s tawkin’ ‘bout wouldn’t be such a bad thang. I wuz readin’ on one ‘a them blogs t’other day – Andrew Sullivan’s, I think it were…
Chorus of raucous laughter greets, and drowns out, Bob’s comments
Parson Jones ( Gently polishing the fancy stock on his Weatherby Mark V): Now, now, folks. Brother Bob’s jes’ as welcome to his opinion as all the rest of ya ‘ere to yorn. What say we sang a few choruses of Rock of Ages? Brother Zeke, why don’t ya start us off?
Zeke: Aw-rite, Parson (inhales deeply, inflating like a flannel balloon, but is suddenly interrupted by the buzzing of his cell phone; exhales loudly). Sorry, folks. Hold on a secon’ (Talks into phone for a couple of minutes, and rings off). Looks like I haff to be moseyin’ on. Claudine says the shop called an’ her Mercedes is ready, so I got to run her down thar to pick it up. Ya’ll come see us, now, y’heah?
If you want to understand Obama AND his believers, just read Tartuffe...

O/T Who’s going to start the betting pool?
How long before we get these gore creeps handing out pamphletes in the streets, advertising Spencer Weart’s booking, offering an initial carbon footprint reading for free, and gore’s living on a boat with little boys?
My mother, a blue-collar Democrat who works with other Democrats at Catholic Charities, has no idea which of the three candidates she’ll vote for. And she tells me that her friends are saying that they will vote for no-one. It appears the extended Democratic nominating process is having a salutory effect…
I love my guns (they’re great for killing the nasty critters that God gave us dominion over) and I go to church every Sunday. I couldn’t righfully describe myself as “bitter” though - I’m more...what’s the word?...blissful.
Posted by Pig Head Sucker on 2008 04 14 at 08:32 PM • permalinkHehe. Dave, that’s what I’ve been saying, regarding the two congressmen. The only thing that will get me to the polls is if Hillary is on the ballot. I have to vote against, no ifs and or buts.
Bush’s biggest flaw is that he doesn’t make a good figure-head. It’ll suck to have the legislators still running the executive chair, but the only one who would make a bad figure head is Clinton. People say her high voice makes here more shrill than she means to be, but she can’t even be bothered with voice coaching. And she expects to be president, WTF?!
I have to admit that PA offers the finest in “thirty aught six” targets, the common woodchuck or ground hog, which obliginly stands erect if you give a slightly sustained whistle. .222 works nice too. We ruined more fifties era chrome hubcaps with that 30.06 than you could care to imagine.
Funny thing was that all of this happened in the PA hills even before the jobs were gone.
...the terrible Clinton-Bush years of economic frustration...
Oh, my, are they conflating Bush and Clinton already? I knew that lefties had no problems eating each other, but putting BJ and Dubya in the same economic sphere isn’t mere cannibalism, it’s freaking all out civil war.
Except that most lefties hate guns, so all they can is throw insults at each other.

I now declare before you all that I happen to own a Sterling .25, and it’s actually not bad for punching holes in paper (but bear in mind, I also own a Ruger .44 magnum, a Ruger .38, two lever-action 30/30’s, a Mauser bolt-action and an L.C. Smith double-barrel 12 gauge - in fact, several of these items seem to have found their way into the hands of my fictional friends up there).
#37
Harry Callahan may have said: I know what you’re thinking. “Do I have six guns or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as I have a Ruger .44 magnum, a powerful handgun, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?Posted by stackja1945 on 2008 04 14 at 10:08 PM • permalink#37 Mr. Paco, ah plum missed yer so-phisticated literary conceit right there, ah shore did.

And he bowled a 37 through seven frames.
Now, I’m not one who thinks a candidate should have to bend over backwards proving he’s “just folks”, but Christ, can this alleged dude change a tire?

Yeah, but that’s different. They’re African-American, so they can’t possibly be racists.
