Reply #21: Well done, DU...

I really get steamed when people come and make fun of this state and its people. We have some of the finest schools in the nation and a resourceful citizenry with an excellent work ethic and who understand and honor the concepts of community and democracy. Iowa has much to be proud of.

Last night, Tweety was making fun of the "abnormal" (his adjective) people in Iowa who come out to sit for three hours and participate in the caucuses. I don't know if it was his idea of making a funny, but he royally po'd me. These caucuses serve other purposes than selecting a candidate...it is where planks for each party's platform are proposes and voted on. They also serve as a place where debate occurs and political differences are resolved within the party and the community.

These snooty, faux intellectuals are not welcome.
