    Welcome to the nation of rednecks

    At least half of Americans are lazy, morbidly obese ignoramuses who can't wait to hear the worst about anyone, then spread it without regard to the truth. They pose as good Christians but are anything but. I was raised by these willfully-ignorant rednecks and fled at the earliest opportunity, but before long they came waddling along on the AM radio dial, spurred by GOP tricksters to take over and wreck the country. There is no force more at odds with civilization than the American redneck. They resent having to pay any taxes, and of course taxes are the price you pay for civilization.
