I wonder if they appreciate green chartreuse and The Fall at these so-called country fairs.

Yes but I am way north of that area (which, BTW, isn't Appalachian; at least not in the stereotypical sense, i.e. WV or KY hillfolk). Few miles from Canada.

Thank god for evolution, because his fat ass isn't going to survive the rapture.

Here's one: "The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and **** the planet -- it's yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars -- that's the Biblical view."

You mean like this huge, energy sucking mansion where this bible thumping right winger lives, with the SUV in the driveway?

Wait, wut? That's AL GORE'S HOUSE!

How is an Ann Coulter quote a relevant response? She's neither one of those people that has any effect on day-to-day life nor one of those people who purport to uphold scientific standards.

And more than that, why has Al Gore molded his life style around what Ann Coulter says?

She can't be the only one.

I don't know who she is, but yes, there could be plenty.

Al might be a Beta male, but he is male.

Definitely Tennessee.

These kinds of videos are a diversion from the real problems in education and society, which isn`t actually religion.

The only thing I could suggest, to give you full perspective, is that you go stay a month or two in these regions, go to church with them, spend some time chatting with them. Though these folks might not impress you with their Hadron Colliders, they also aren`t the people who are destroying your economy OR your environment (after all, many of them have lived off the same land for generations), stealing your stuff, buying houses they can`t afford, and having lots of children on welfare while using drugs and free medicare. Typically, your very religious southerner would saw their own leg off to help their neighbor, if they could, and generally keep to themselves while not asking for much in return.

So what that their ideas are crap; I guess all you girls were just lucky all to have gone to Exeter and Eton for school. Public school in general is ****, with **** teachers, and for most students, public school succeeds only making students hate school and want to get as far away as possible. At least, at that school, the kids have a reason (a HIGHER reason) not to shoot their teacher in the face. As a teacher, trust me, that`s worth a lot.

Everyone from the Heartland appreciates your post (and others like it on the subject) but surely by now you realize that it's a lost cause on this forum, yeah?

I do, but the circle jerk of `OMG WE ARE FROM NYC AND CALI WHICH MEANS WE ARE AWWEESUMM` gets old.

When the **** hits the fan, and we ALL think it is going to hit the fan, you want to be in TN and KY, with three or four hillbillies nearby. They have all the practical knowledge, and all the weapons. If you really think being in NYC with some stock brokers, or with me and a bunch of Uni profs talking about adverbs, Petrarch sonnets, and the bilabial fricative, is going to help, then go for it.
