(13,091 posts)That asshole took the cake.
Another question that asshole asked, "Why should he pay for the rubbers of the women in this country who are protesting" ???
Several callers are against ALL protest.
They don't think protests have changed anything in history.
Several callers basically want the U.S. to become a Theocracy.
75% of the callers were uninformed or misinformed.
25% knew what they were talking about.
It is truly frightening how ignorant people in this country are.
I was cussing at the TV.
This country is in deep shit.
You could tell from the questions and comments which callers watched Fox 'news'
and listened to talk radio.

(99,710 posts)The California and New York quote took the cake.
CA is the cultural center of the world and NY is the financial center of the world. CA also produces a lot of food and high tech.

(13,091 posts)Another caller blamed everything wrong in this country on California.
She wanted to know why California didn't share it's wealth with the poor states.
It was apparent she doesn't know how state governments work.
I was screaming and cussing at the TV.

(99,710 posts)That statement contradicts the statement "we want free things.'
I like the pissing and moaning about Hollywood boycotts. One can only watch so much NASCAR and tractor pulls.
I grew up in the Daytona Beach-Orlando area and passed the 500 thousands of time. I never got the appeal. I used to say it would be just as fun to put a lawn chair beside Interstate Four and watch.

Clearly, sustenance can only come from the largesse of the great and wise rulers of the planet, the old white Christian males, for whom we are all obligated to work hard every day in order to maintain our rightfully ordered Christian moral society, so that we can go to heaven when we die (perhaps in one of their unnecessary wars).

(9,350 posts)Hasn't it been reported that red states receive more government assistance than blue states? Isn't the biggest receiver of government money Mississippi?
