After reading some of these letters, all I can say is....Thank you Steve Jarding and Dave "Mudcat" Saunders so much for that name "Bubba!" Best damn "label" I've heard in a long time. I can hardly wait to use it. Oh, and whoever wrote from "Bubbastan", I almost snorted up my latte, I laughed so hard.

And all you little Bubba's, you just keep writing! Okay?!!! We really want to hear from you!! Yes, YOU!! Sing your little fascist, racist, sexist Bubba nonsense all day! Because the more people see what a bunch of amazingly stupid dorks you all are, the more the bad ole Democrats will win in 2008! So, please, keep writing your little Bubba screeching emails. Screech, little Bubbas, screech!

The Late Great State of California, look what the Democrats have done. Worst traffic in the nation, highest housing prices in the nation, over run by illegal aliens who get welfare.

Behold the birth of the Peoples Republik of Kalifornia!!

"...put America's needs above your own feelings--isn't that what patriotism is all about?"

Yes Deke, that is what patriotism is all about. I don't remember who I'm quoting here as this quote is I believe a couple hundred years old but, "America is great because America is good. America will cease being great when it ceases being good."

America' goodness is wanning not because of our liberation of the Iraqi people from the hands of a murderous tyrant while weakening Al Quaeda and islamofastists who think it's their allah mandated purpose to kill everyone who is not an islamofastist. And this fight will never be over, because we are fighting a perverted ideology, not a nation. And these terrorist hate you liberals as much as they hate us conservatives. You can't reason with them and you can't compromise with them. They must be defeated, just as we must defeat liberalism, because in part liberals think that they can reason with terrorists.

America's goodness is waning in part because we sanction the killing of unborn babies. That's not a "feeling", that's a fact. That's the significant difference between conservatives and liberals...facts and feelings. And that's why I say truth and facts are the enemies of liberals.

"The remainder of the electorate, meanwhile, is composed of white women, among whom Democrats are competitive..."

Those of us in California where the demographic shift described in this article has been obvious since the mid-90s know that A) Schaller is right that Dems need to forget most of the non-union white men and B) that the swing voters as far as there are any are those white women.

As a consequence, the Republican Party here is vestigial, dependent on a movie super hero for its only statewide officeholder. So long as Dems get most of the white women, we win here. And a result is two white women Senators.

Jesus is your next door neighbor, speaks good English but listens to bad Mexican music day after day, month after month, blaring from loudspeakers in his back yard. He expects you to respect "his music" when you try to remind him that the fence is not a sound barrier. His chihuahua lives in the backyard 24/7, gets no attention from anyone in the house and therefore barks all the time, sometimes 2 in the morning, probly because it is hungry and wants his Dieta Cientifica.

Jesus has innumerable freinds, family members, acquaintainces and business partners who come and go all the time, keeping the house packed as if life were an unending celebration of Sinko de Myo. They are genetically weak eared and MUST yell everything they say.

The house gets visited by teenagers from time to time who play even louder Mexican music, the Mexican rap variety, which is "sung" in some version of Spanglish, making phrases like "fucking gringo" clearly recognizable.

Jesus is a citizen but many of his friends, etc, are not, but why should they be, they consider Cali, NM and Arizona to be part of Mexico anyway and of THAT COUNTRY they are citizens already. They laugh at the naive gringos who think they can hardly wait to get "out of the shadows" and join the citizenry of the US - they are La Raza and there is no need to be American citizens when America will go away.

¡Vaya con Jesus, Los Demócratas!

So the current White House has extended the no-right-to-life age out to infinity if you happen to be Iraqi. What's your opinion on that?

Sorry, but it's hard to listen to a lecture on the sancity of life from someone who's voting Republican. Voting Republican means voting to kill people in an absolutely needless war, means voting for torture (and they call the left mean-spirited!) and voting to mortage the country's economic future so you can cut taxes for the rich--and then complain that poor people don't pay ENOUGH in taxes.

Yeah, I'm a proud middle-aged white man, and I'll admit that at times I don't really feel the love from the Democrats. But there's more to politics than getting your ego stroked, and voting Republican is the most irresponsible thing a man can do right now. C'mon Former Dem, put America's needs above your own feelings--isn't that what patriotism is all about?

Believe me, another 8 years of Republican misrule, and the next generation will look back on the kids who got aborted as the lucky ones.

was intentional.

"...the flaw of this article. It's NOT just "white males." Its a whole group of people, male and female, clinging to bigotted, bitter, beligerent beliefs and mindsets.

This was an inflamatory article, and I honestly don't think it served any great purpose except to incite a lot of letters, and a similar sterotypical photo would never have been permitted if the article had been about any other group. But have people notice the change in tone once Limbaugh posted a link on his website. Ugly insulting homophobic (because racist isn't tolerated out in the open anymore) letters. I said in an earlier post that is was this group (Limbaugh, Hannity, fox News and their followers who have largely created the divisions and coarseness stiffling any meaningfull discourse in this country."-saintzak

First, I agree with you that this was an inflamatory article. Second, ungly insulting comments come from both sides of the issue. I read other posts here saying, "Bubba hates blacks", "Bubba is a racist", "idiot-in-chief". Those comments and others like them did not come from Limbaugh fans, but from the hate mongers on the left.

Your comment, "this group (Limbaugh, Hannity, fox News and their followers who have largely created the divisions and coarseness stiffling any meaningfull discourse in this country." Yes, there are divisions. The left asks for compromise and bi-partisanship, but what they really mean is agree with us. But we don't compromise on principle. How do you compromise on abortion? It is either right or wrong to kill babies. To use an analogy, how would you compromise on rape. It likewise is either right or wrong. It just happens that we most likely agree that rape is wrong, but the left has this convoluted idea that a fetus magically turns into a baby at certain government selected age, and at that point and not before it has rights. So, if God forbid, democrats start winning the White House and they determine that that magical age should be one week after birth or 6 months or whatever.

Truth and facts are the enemies of liberals.
