digitaldiscipline"What I explained to [CNN and NPR] and what I think the media misses is that many of the people the media would claim Mitt Romney described as 'victims' weren’t who Mitt Romney was speaking about. And those people intrinsically know it. They may technically fall into the category Mitt Romney described as government dependent victims, but they know he’s not talking about them. He’s talking about the people they also are talking about."
"Those people."
Anyone unclear on the concept, now that Mr. Erickson has so kindly and explicitly reveals, almost certainly unintentionally, the everything-but-overtly-stated "fuck the brown folks" mindset of the people who actively vote against their own best interest just because, to do otherwise, might help one of those other people?
Because, by shit, someone may have to cling to their God and guns, but they ain't helping some black or Mexican kid get a better shot at the American dream than they took when they had the chance... and they ain't gonna give their own kids that better shot, either.
It's only uphill both ways when you're too stupid to crawl out of the ditch you're wallowing in.
