I'm surrounded by hillbillies and, in many ways, am one myself. Having a hillbilly family I have grown up knowing how to deal with those who are, well...
stupid, and all too often, smelly.
The truth of the matter is that those on the left have the "advantage" of being intelligent. They often hold jobs which require vast reasoning skills and, much of the time, require a considerable amount of charity, compassion, and tolerance. However, when it comes to political bullying and getting-your-way, those on the left suck majorly and are usually big pussies.
Those who are right-leaning have the advantage in this game because they ARE on average far less intelligent, far less charitable, much less tolerant, couldn't reason their way out of a paper bag, and unless one is referring to aiming for the heart when hunt'n' wild boar, they seemingly don't really know what compassion is. They are winning the political game these days because they say what they want when they want to say it. Often what they say is stupid, vulgar, and ignorant beyond the wild boar at which they shoot.
Guess what this means! It means that those on the left had better start loosening their lips, getting vulgar, and sayin' what they want to them goddamn tobacco spittin', non-butt-wipin', stupid hillbilly fuckface dropouts every once in a while. It's the only language the majority of the right understands. When the left sits and tries rationalizing with the right-wing, the right just stares blankly back at the left because they didn't understand a fuckinng thing they just said. Statistics are useless because most on the right cannot even add.
I am sick and tired of being yelled at and trying to argue with big dumb morons who drive F-250's with Bush-Cheney decor and have the nerve to also have a Support Our Troops sticker. I know this may sound cliche', but they think we are a bunch of sissies. This is why they don't care what we say even if we are clearly right: the left too often comes across as arrogant know-it-alls simply by using terms and words those on the right simply do not understand. If they feel as though someone is smarter than they are they will oppose this person because they feel threatened and find security in large numbers of other dumbass hicks
(or, rich corporate pigs). It's too late to get anyone still supporting BushCo to listen to reason. What they need is a good 'ol cussin' at. Kos contributors are almost too smart to be effective. Once in a while the left needs to come face to face and stoop down to the opponents' level. This means get mean, use lots of swear words, and use common sense terms to explain things that might seem complicated to those who ain't too smart, and if at all possible, try spitting after every couple of sentences or so.
Thank You!
