This endeavor has been constructed upon a foundation of a few themes. Chief among these is the stupidity and self-importance of poor white folks. Such behavior is explained in magnificent detail by Robert Frank (whom I've recently seen on BookTV, and he's not Sy Hersh's age, after all; kind of a young guy) in "What's the Matter with Kansas?".
Today these hypocrites get totally nuked by a three page (!) front page article in the Times. I generally just post a link, and shut up, but the money quote is way too tempting to let go:
"It's hard to beat up on the government when they've been so good to you," he finally said. "I've never really thought about it, I guess."
That's said by a guy who basically lives off the gummint, but says he's a conservative. These Red State Washington haters are the most benefited by Washington (just look at those beautiful maps). Always have been, going back to at least TVA under FDR. Hypocrites.
