Thanksgiving Eve ONT

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and before we all sit down with our loved ones, maybe we should take a moment to think about what we have to be thankful for. Everybody has been talking about the presidential election, but almost overlooked in that is this small factoid:

An Insider's View: The Dark Rigidity of Fundamentalist Rural America

Another in a seemingly endless series of articles explaining why rural, Christian, white Americans are wrong to oppose the coastal liberals, who, because they are not rural, Christian, white Americans, know better than mouthbreating rural, Christian, white Americans. Rural, Christian, white Americans better come to understand this, all for the good of rural, Christian, white Americans. As you might guess, this one is pretty repetitive.

“‘Anne,’ he says, stopping and looking down at me. I am pinned like wet washing with his peg. ‘Till now, I thought the sweetest sound I could ever hear was cows chewing grass. But this is better.’ He sways and we listen to the soft suck at the exact place we meet. Then I move and put all thoughts of livestock out of his head.”

“That’s a waste of taxpayer dollars and that also doesn’t prepare kids for life. In life there’s winners and losers and when your car breaks down, your kids get sick or you have to take a second job to pay your mortgage, you don’t get to go to a cry zone, you don’t get to pet a pony. You have to deal with it,” Bobby Kaufmann told Fox and Friends on Wednesday.
