The point is not everyone is going to agree on everything and lumping them all who disagree with you into a category of ignorant redneck hill billy racist bigots is wrong as is making fun of them. You thought you shouldn't be made fun of when you disagreed with Bush and deserved to be heard well, we have a right to disagree with Obama without being chastised and ridiculed with every breath.  Yes, I will agree that little film clip is the height of ridiculous and phony as anything but to say all who disagree like that is a huge mistake on your part and exactly what you're expected to do by other dems to force and shame republicans into submitting to your will and shutting up.  I, for one, will not shut up and when I see something that needs questioned or that I disagree with I'm going to say so.  Are you such small minded people that you don't know how to converse without making fun of others?  Do you not know how to voice your opinions in an intelligent manner whether they be right or wrong?  Henry and I might not be great spellers or word smiths but we can disagree with your view points without making fun of you or ridiculing you unless you get us so irritated it is out of frustration.  Why can't you give us the same respect?  That word is one of them in your vocabulary isn't it?  You do know the definition of it don't you?

As it works out, those who disagree with us on this point are, in fact, a bunch of ignorant, redneck, hillbilly, racist bigots...or would you like to tell us specifically which part of the speech you find particularly offensive?
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

I bet the people at the Cautawba County Fair are not great spellers, nor word smiths either.  The flags in her hair might be a dead give away.  Maybe if they had listened to someone other than their parents, they would have had a better education.  Oh wait, probably not.  North Carolina used to be 49th in education.

Nevermind!!  Ramble on!

Respect isn't earned by claiming that grapes can't grow in England or posting photos of a prison in Europe and claiming they are of a luxury prison in the U.S.

:biggrin:  Well if there is to be any hope for the children and people of North Carolina, they can find it in the fact that they have somehow managed to attract bright, intelligent people like you to teach in their state.   :yes:

Thank you.  However I wouldn't work in that county.  Crappy pay!!  Well I take that back.  All of the state's salaries are the same, however the supplement that the county gives is different.  They are a bit too redneck over in those parts.  Yes ME they really are redneck!!

The statement, "the Bible is the source of liberty" has not been found in any writings of Thomas Jefferson.

Hah!!! Busted!

P.S. Henry, don't you wish you had checked your source? snicker, snort

Just what is that comment if not one that is ridiculing anyone who dares to question? 

It is ridiculing the spelling of the artist. Duh. What did you think? The kid claims 11 and a half. That's fifth grade, sugar ... the target reading level for the AP style book. I don't think "proude" or "skooler" would make it by AP. Question all you like. Try not to look illiterate when you do it.
