Trae Crowder Talks About Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town” - STA...

I have been back to mostly commenting on my FB wall.  No need to repeat all that shit here.  But this is fun.  This guy managed to  find the humor in an otherwise sad, unfortunate story.

Aldean didn't write the shit kicker song in question. But who ever did, wrote what is at minimum shit kicker song. Which does not really highlight what is potentially good about small towns.

Disturbingly humorously, when defending the song, Aldean rattles off all that actual potential good shit about small towns. And that leads to the question. How come the song doesn't really talk about that good shit, but instead seems a justification for mob violence and mob justice, whether racist flavored or not?

And I will quote a line from a song of a much different genre:

"Things that make you go hmmm."

What's The Difference Between Alabama Rednecks And Genuine Nazis?

You are not going to catch a genuine Nazi  out in public wearing  pajama bottoms!

But seriously.  Hey!  Ain't these southern racists  the children of the southern racists  who burned books?  Didn't the Nazis burn books  too?

Alabama Racists  pull  critical art featuring socio political commentary  from  museum.

Read it here.

Here is a blub:

A professor is taking heat for comparing Alabama's immigration crackdown to Nazi Germany in a series of artistic images including swastikas and depictions of the Virgin Mary.

Edward Noriega, a professor of Art and Design at Troy University in Alabama, had his artwork pulled from an exhibit earlier this month from Talladega's Heritage Hall Museum because the directors objected to the content.

Thing about the modern  American Racist Redneck is this.  For the most part, they deny the label of being racist.  But the can't seem to let go of their racist beliefs.  So often over the past election season, I saw candidates  and surrogates  letting their racist flag fly. And for the most part they got away with that shit.  And this is why  I can't wait for the day the Mexicans finally take over.  Not that that is going to improve my life in a meaningful way.  I just want to see the day when whiteness  ceases  to have any greater status in American society than looking like anything else. 

 ¡Sí, se puede!

She Has Better Things To Do Than Make a Million $$ a Year, Doing Nothing, Dontcha Know . . . .

The Snow billy gets Fired By New York Media.

Oy vey! An always pathologically delusional Mrs. Palin, delusionally describes getting fired from Fox News, and describes her future plans in terms of the delsuion that (evil rotten mean) conservatism can "broaden it's audience." (Ya mean there are evil mean rotten people out there not already in the flock?)

And to just make it that much more delusional, the delusional idea she wants  other (evil rotten mean) conservatives to preach is . . . . wait for it . . . "American exceptionalism."

Didn't she hear or read that other GOPer last week talking about purging the party of the crazies? But of course, part of being ignorant, is not knowing how ignorant one actually is. Actually.

Bitch Reminded Me Why I am Glad I Don't Do Forums Anymore.

I am usually better at this too, but I posted on a friend's facebook thread.  He' a transplant down South, and feels  quite at home there.  Now I did not lay into him hard, but one of his redneck bitch buddies  got in my face.  He soon reminded me  about how and more is the point, why I am happy I don't do message boards anymore.  Presented me with what I call bullshit  data  about how The South ain't as dangerous to live in as them northern cities.

Bitch threw up  homicide totals  to make his point.

I countered with the per capita  data  that clearly  shows The South is more dangerous than the north, generally speaking.   Per capita.  And the bitch's  reply to that was to discount  the "proportional math."  And then he really got stupid.

I first started blocking as spam his posts   after the second time I told him to leave me alone.

Then I found the little button that blocked his ignorant, racist republican ass from my sight for ever.

I might not live to see the fine day, but at the least the Mexicans  are taking over The South, and will just swamp them  by sheer numbers.  Not if.  When.  Not that that is going to help we black folk much.  But for schadenfreude and entertainment purposes.

Oh  and I know some of them conservative bitches are all mad about  P. Obama's being sworn in for Term Two on Monday.  Fuck them all, I say.  We survived Bush.  Well at least those of us who did not die due to Bush's  mismanagement. 

Conservatism is a Defect in Reasoning.

I have said similar things before.  It's easy to say it's a mental disease, but that is not truly accurate.  It's not something you cure someone of.  Freedom from conservatism is more of a function of getting someone to abandon a series of irrational beliefs.  Much in the same way a rational emotive psychologist gets neurotic people to abandon their redundant, self destructive thoughts.

What got me on this thread of an idea?  Some article written by some joker who was seemingly writing on the divide between insider  (country club) Republicans, and outsider (redneck) conservatives.  He  obviously identifies with the rednecks.  No matter how much money he might make, and that he might never be caught dead either at a NASCAR race or in the bleachers  watching AAA Baseball.

Here's the article.  I will super summarize it.  Conservatives is all that is good and right about the Right Wing, and the GOP is all that is wrong with it. What a fucking idiot.  Hack.  Sub species of Partisan. 

Move Over Mrs. Palin. There's a New Redneck Queen, A'Comin!

Redneck Girl Gets Banned From Prom For Wearing Confederate Flag Dress.

I am tempted to write this ditzy chick off as a stupid redneck  (redundant, I know.)  But she's more than that.  She's the new poster child for stupid rednecks. 

Firstly, she was warned before hand by the teacher in charge of the prom that the dress might not be appropriate and to clear it with the principal.  But she knew better than that!  So she didn't. 
Next is thinking the Confederate Flag is cool.  What is more redneck than thinking the battle flag of an army that sought to preserve slavery is cool?  That's like saying slavery, rape, torture and murder is cool.  And to make matters worse, they  kidnapped free blacks they found when operating in Union states, and made them slaves.  How ignorant must someone be not to know none of that is cool.  You have to be redneck ignorant.  I recon. 

Next is that she just denies it's offensive, and completely disrespects those who do find it offensive, by not only wearing that hate symbol, but spewing that sick  ugly line about it being about "heritage." 

Sickening!

I Love Being Proven Sort of Right.

File this one under The Persistence of Republican Redneck Racism.  I used to toss off as a guesstamated figure that around a good 1/3 of Republicans were still flat out racists.  I did not mean just a little bit.  I meant FLAT OUT.  Guess I was right at least for Mississippi.  Alabammy  is slightly less odious.  Only a bit more than 1/5 or so are hard core racist, that is if you accept the premise that one has to be a hard core racist to think interracial marriage should be illegal.

Here we are in the 21st Century.  The Democratic Party is, at least.  The GOP  is still suck in the 19th Century.  Lots of the membership, at least.

Go Here.

On Monday, polling firm Public Policy Polling (PPP) revealed that 29 percent of self-identified Republicans surveyed in Mississippi believe that interracial marriage should be illegal. Fifty-four percent said intermarriage should remain legal, and the rest responded that they weren't sure. The survey also found that 21 percent of self-identified Republicans polled in Alabama believe that interracial marriage should be illegal.

And I thought the stats that came out recently about how many of them Deep South rednecks thought P. Obama  was a Muslim was mostly just Redneck Republican truthiness.  But the Deep South is still a shit hole of way too much racism.  Seems to me.

Shit You Already Knew About Conservatives.

They are that way because they are stupid.  Or to say it the kinder way, the complexity of the reality of human life on Planet E.  hurts their tiny brains.  So they gravitate to simplistic, child like ways of thinking (no matter how stupid the ideology is, or detached from objective reality it might be.)

Ok.  I did vamp there, but the idea that low IQ is related to both racism and conservatism  (what I call redneckism) is the conclusion of the study at issue, here.  Yes.  I know the thing has been setting parts of the Internet on fire.  But I back burnered it.  Till now.  Here is my favorite chunk from the version of the story I found on Huffpo:

Why might less intelligent people be drawn to conservative ideologies? Because such ideologies feature "structure and order" that make it easier to comprehend a complicated world, Dodson said. "Unfortunately, many of these features can also contribute to prejudice," he added.

 Dr. Brian Nosek, a University of Virginia psychologist, echoed those sentiments."Reality is complicated and messy," he told The Huffington Post in an email. "Ideologies get rid of the messiness and impose a simpler solution. So, it may not be surprising that people with less cognitive capacity will be attracted to simplifying ideologies."

Racist Redneck Conservatives Are All That 'Cause They're Stupid!

Newton Leroy: Crown Prince of the Redneck Horde.

Newt: Don't Stifle the Audience Cheering the Candidate's Attack on the Media.

Well I originally wanted to post this just because of the topic in the title.  The bizarre, mentally damaged person's  complaint, that the audience was being stifled in siding with the candidates  AGAINST the media?  Then again  I don't get this redneck, wing nut animosity against the media.  I think it's pathological.  I mean I get it.  that Newton Leroy, Crown Prince of the Redneck Horde, scores points with the minions every time he does that.  But it makes no sense.  The job of POTUS is not to be at war with the media, for cryin' out loud.  That has as much to do with being POTUS as one's ability to knit sweaters!  (But I do get it  -- it's an us vs them, identity politics, in group bigotry thing.  And that's why I think it's pathology.)  Anyway . . . .

I stuck with the video about 1/2 through.  Talk about hypocrite or self blindness.  Newt rants about the dishonesty of Romney calling him an influence peddler.  Now why the freaking hell would any corp  hire him as a so called  consultant?  Because he once had been a history professor, or because he once had been Speaker of the House? 

My gods!  The nerve of this bullshit, redneck millionaire.  It's hard to be a standout liar among the GOP  but we can call him a contender for the worst of the lot.

Why do Whites Hate Blacks.


I thnk the writer is painting with too broad a brush, but there's a deep truth at core in this essay. "It is about white self-image." Just look at the current GOP primary. All those dog whistles and in some cases blatant white privilege-serving race baiting? Granted, the GOP has no new ideas, never mind any good ones. So why not play the white is right self image boosting card?

Shit. Rush Limbaugh has doubled down yet again with calling the Obamas uppity niggers -- this time by throwing the dictionary meaning of the insult at them, instead of the word uppity. He says the Obamas like living high on hog with out working for it. Yep. That's the same as calling them uppity niggers. And I hope some major media outlet or player calls him out on it.

This is Election 2012. This is the year the racist revanchists are going to field their last desperate attack. We have to fight back hard. And part of that is knowing what game these right wing, redneck racists are playing.

Fuck Republicans

Not literally.  That might lead to the breeding of more republicans.  And we can't have that.  We will have no more of that, thank you very much.


And looking over that formal phrasing, I am reminded.  Tonight is the return of Masterpiece Theatre's  "Downton Abbey."  Yes.  I am a sucker for Brit. Aristocratic themed drama.  I actually think there is something superior to a society that does not hide the fact there are castes.  But here in America, we pretend there are no classes, while people of a certain evil political persuasion bemoan the class warfare against the monied class.

Not that I would prefer to live in Edwardian England  (unless I were the Earl or his heir,) but I do have to say there is something to be said for an honest even if more unfair society.

I caught up on the episodes from the first season, as of today.  There was one scene in one where some English Version of the Original Rednecks, some trashy criminal shows up on the estate to cause some trouble.   He had been half of a performing act with the butler, much to the butler's shame, back in the day.  He was on the run, and extorting the butler for sanctuary and support.  The filthy minded proto redneck overplayed his hand by barging into the manse, and giving lip to His Lordship.  The exchange between them went something like this.  His Lordship said that he would give the trash twenty Pounds, and that the trash should never come near the estate ever again.  The trash, not understanding the generosity of that offer, lipped off.  He said something like, you think just because of your title you can have your way.  His Lordship replied, that yes, because of his title he could have his way.  And if the trash showed up again, His Lordship would have him arrested for theft, and blackmail, and sent to jail for at least five years. 

Game.  Set.  Match.  To His Lordship.

Indeed.

Wing Nut Apologizes for Wrong Reason. Ain't That the Standard Bullshit Play?

Well ya might have heard that cuntry music star Hank Williams Jr. got hisself in a shit load of trouble for breaking, in spectacular fashion, Godwin's Law against P. Obama. It was done on "Fox and Friends," Monday. He made a direct comparison of P. Obama to Hitler. It was such an extreme level of racist redneck right wing hate speech that Gretchen Carlson disavowed the statement as soon as Williams was done on the segment. Ya. You know you are an extreme racist redneck right wing wing nut, when a Fox News on air host disavows your hate speech before the spit on your microphone has a chance to evaporate.

And at first, when the asshole figured out he might just have stepped in some shit, he made some statement that did not even count as a standard non-apology. But the pressure of the cost of his stupidity bore down on him (fucker started losing money, actually,) and he finally went that far. Here is the wing nutty racist redneck's NON apology.

"I have always been very passionate about Politics and Sports and this time it got the Best or Worst of me. The thought of the Leaders of both Parties Jukin and High Fiven on a Golf course, while so many Families are Struggling to get by simply made me Boil over and make a Dumb statement and I am very Sorry if it Offended anyone. I would like to Thank all my supporters. This was Not written by some Publicist."

(My commentary) Just for once I would like to see some offensive wing nut/redneck/racist/hate monger/bigot (which and all ever that fits) actually apologize for being an offensive person, or acting offensively, instead of . . . "If it offended anyone." But I hope against hope sometimes. I do play Mega Millions and Powerball.

So Many Folk to Cuss Out . . .

So little time.

Ok. I got into a squabble with someone on a friend's FB thread. Ya. I am supposed to be past this. But even among political allies, one can find cause for disagreement. And this fellow did not know about my pet peeve lately for redneck/outlaw/reb culture. My statement that led to the fracas was my statement that we would have been better off (at least democrats would be) if the surrendered reb army was imprisoned for life. That would have led to less southerners being born, and likely a quicker end to 'southern culture.' In other words, redneckism would have been seriously reduced, and we would not have the south as a close to solid GOP voting block.

Hey. I am only looking at the world as it is and saying, ya know . . . this could have been diminished, if not prevented.

So hey. If things had happened as I say, we might have never had Lynard Skynard. I could live with that, since that would mean no Kid Rock either. Um, make that his version of "Sweet Home Alabama." That's a fair trade.

We still would have Sarah Palin. But she would be some nobody snowbilly no one knew about. I mean, let's face it. With out the southern block, there would have never been the Reagan Years. The GOP would have died out already. And in the end that's what I want. I want the GOP to go away asap.

Has Bill Maher Been Reading My Theory About Thomas Sowell's Theory of the Menace of Rednecks to America's Well Being?

(Toldja I planned on using that as a cudgel against the wing nuts, metaphorically speaking, of course.)

Nope. I don't think Mr. Maher reads this blog. After all, I'm on the ass end of the Internet. This is The Frontier. It's like that place in the movie "Apocalypse Now," when the assassin shows up at the last American position, and asks the scared soldier where he could find officer in charge, and the soldier says I thought you were (some shit like that.) And there's the following scene where Brother Man Rocket Man says he don't need no flare, and homes in on the VC on the other end of the firing line who's taunting the troops by saying things like, Joe. Joe. GI Joe. Fuck You, Joe. And Brother Man Rocket Man takes his ass out with one shot of his grenade launcher. That scene really had an impact of me. But I digress.

Actually, wrong analogy. That's way too much action, for this joint. It might be better to say there should be a sign here, like those old maps saying,"Beyond Here Thar Be Monsters!"

Anyway, I'm pretty sure Mr. Maher isn't tracking this site. But in this clip he goes off on one of the most lame and racist (for lack of a better word) wing nut fads; birtherism. Shit. Even Sean Hannity is now pimping that ho. But I do agree with fellow Joisey Boy Maher. This is racism. And like he says to David Brooks, it's not the lack of overt racism that is notable. It's the staggering amount of covert racism that's prevalent in the wing nut party, that we are noting, and birtherism is a function of that. So we say. Anyway, link to the vid.


Only Race Could Explain Birthers.

Notable in this clip is David Brooks. I confess he drives me crazy on his worst days, but he's clearly not a wing nut. As far as alleged moderates go, he's sorta what one should sound like, I'd say. He's often wrong, but rarely is he crazy wrong.

Moving on, and as the text from the Mediate (don't want to call them journalists or columnists. Editor is better . . .) editor mentions, Tina Brown was like a Delphic Priestess. She really laid it out with her contemporary politics is like Lady Gaga, observation. I'd say the clip is worth watching just for that. And yes, it's the end of the tape, and there's good stuff happening before you get there.

But yet again (time to book end, kids.) Even if there was no mention of Thomas Sowell's Theory of the Menace of Rednecks to America, it's there. It's implied in the racism of the birthers, and the rise of stark raving lunacy in the political sphere. Lady Gaga Indeed. I love the observation for it's visual potency. But I would instead reactivate one of my own favorite images, that I have been using for years. And it's basically a mash up of two ideas. I call the strange theatre that has been going on with the wing nuts an Insane Clown Posse Clown Car routine.

Of course the Insane Clown part comes from the musical act. And the Clown Car is the classic gag where a seemingly impossibly numerous number of clowns come out of a tiny car. Ya. That what the right wing looks like, these days. But the clowns are insane.

Researching My Theory of Anti Elitism. I Shoulda Just Googled Redneck.

Yes, at one point last night, I was watching some Jeff Foxworthy vids on Youtube. Don't ask me how or why I got there. I was, eventually, in the mood for comedy, as my posting of a Kat Williams vid and a link to the "Natlie Portman Rap" last night shows. So I got there some how, at least.

Anyway, in one of the vids I watched, he explains his understanding of the word "redneck," as a complete lack of sophistication. Now that does not necessarily equate to my Theory of Wing Nut Anti Elitism, squarely. But it lives, at least, in the next zip code. I take that bit about lack of sophistication as a parallel idea, at least, to what I said about desperate 19th Century embittered Protestant homesteaders, desperately scratching out their hardscrabble lives, out there on the prairie or the high plains. Or what ever strange patch of land they were scratching on, far away from urbanity and it's sophisticated temptations.

I don't think I indexed the routine. But there were two aspects of it, beyond the tie in to my theory of anti elitism, that stood out. Firstly, it was a gig shot before an audience in Montreal. Alors! I thought it was very brave of him to do his redneck humor in front of les Québécois et Québécoises. Secondly, he killed. I guess redneck humor is exportable.
