Quote:What's sad is the double standard. If someone on the right used that type of dialogue to express their views of the left, they would likely be banned or ostracized in  some form or fashion. 

 

Can you imagine the uproar if someone labeled the left as knuckle dragging, porch sitting, handout leaches of society? It would practically be national news.

 

I wouldn't be the least surprised if I were taken to task for even writing the words in a way of making an example. I'm sure I'll be labeled as some racist dreg of society for even suggesting something of the sort.

 

Well the thing is, the "n" word I'm sure is in the "banned word list" but redneck is not.  Both words can be used in both a negative and a positive way depending on the context.  I personally have been called a "redneck" simply because I have a bass boat and a blue tick hound dog.  However, I wasn't "born and raised" southern and I'm not white.  I happen to just enjoy the water, enjoy bass fishing and like hounds of all breeds.

 

The thing is, it seems that the left always seems to "categorize" and separate people based on race, sexual identity, income, etc.

 

The poster in question is part of the problem.  He/she has to put people into categories and mock the categories that don't align with her/his beliefs.

 

I didn't "report" her/his post because I believe in free speech and freedom of expression.  He/she can express ignorant views as far as I'm concerned.
