Just a classless ol jackass.....

'n maybe somewhat clueless as well. I remember as a young man being extremely liberal in my thinking. My parents ‘n my teachers ‘n ev’ryone their age was too conservative for my tastes.
I was a proud Democrat from a Democrat family in a Democrat County in a Democrat State!
In my mind, I haven’t much changed. I feel like I’m pretty much the same person that I’ve always been but now the world (think younger than me ‘n that’s durn near everybody) views me as a conservative...some of them see me as an extreme right-wing monolithic iron-bound dyed in the wool conservative that’s dead set against every progressive thought that appears on my horizon...
In turn, I tell them that I didn’t turn away from the Democrat party; the Democrat party turned away from me. I am a registered Republican but in my heart of hearts, I’m a Libertarian. Not a total Libertarian, y’understand, because I believe that some limitations are a good thing.
For example, I believe in traffic control laws. Without some limitations, all would be chaos ‘n no one could get anywhere. To that end, I believe in modest limitations ‘n that leads me to believe in limited government. A belief, I think, that is shared with most Americans, at least according to polls ‘n I ain’t at all sure that polls are to be believed.
Anyways, there is a segment characterized by the media as the ‘Liberal Left’ ‘n estimated at about 20 to 25 percent of our population who believe that they are smarter ‘n more knowledgeable ‘n superior to the rest of us.
I’m just an old country boy from the hills of eastern Kentucky ‘n I didn’t have the advantage of top-notch schools ‘n a government funded education. Education back in those unenlightened daze was more of a privilege than a right, ‘n schools back in those hardscrabble days were hard put to teach just the basics.
But, as usual, I digress. What got my attention this morning was the following quote which I found on my facebook page that pretty much describes the way that us plain folk in the middle believe the so-called ‘liberal elite’ think of us.
I’m not going to identify the person responsible for this statement for several reasons, the primary one being that I happen to like this person regardless of the stated belief:

“This is so disturbing and criminal. They are classless jackasses elected by a supremely stupid populace, and I know my sister always says "Middle America: it's a Jerry Springer world", but this I cannot abide. Looks like I'm going to have to pull out my rusty NARAL and NOW paraphernalia and get crackin'.”

I don’t happen to like the Jerry Springer show but otherwise, I guess that I’m part of the ‘supremely stupid populace’ that thinks that the Tea Party movement has been ‘n will continue to be a good thing for America.
