The Gospel of Jimmy Bob 4:14 "And as the flock gathered to see Jesus among the double-wides he said unto them "As my father in Heaven looks down upon you of the earth, He has only these words of truth, "He who see the sin and wants to cast out the evil on upon the land, I say unto thee..Git-R-Done".

4. Good morning, Gothic Sponge! |
|
I see that I need education on rednecks and God! What do they mean by this phrase? Out here in my neighborhood, in California, we don't have any rednecks! They can't afford it here, so I have NO exposure to this sort of *ahem* quasi-thinking...
Hope you're having a great day...

5. I beg your pardon, Peggy... |

But you certainly do have rednecks out here. I've lived in Southern California for many years, but grew up in the other SC--South Carolina.
And you've never been to Bakersfield, have you? ;)
A historical note: the last time the Republicans had as much power as they do today, they engineered a great economic opportunity for the Inheriting Classes.
Lib'rul-Bolshevik historians call this event "The Great Depression." California agribusiness moguls fondly remember it as the only time in the state's history when white English-speaking people would gladly work for lower wages than Asians and Hispanics.
Most of the new Agriculture Associates came to California from places like Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. This came about because the unregulated Republican banking industry had provided itself with exciting new Ownership Opportunities for small family farms, usually called "repossession."
To make a long story short, the more ambitious redneck fruit-pickers ended up in Bakersfield and the Central Valley. The unluckier rednecks had to settle in Barstow, since that would have been the last stop on Route 66 when the homemade pickup truck broke down.

little yuppie town! You are quite right, of course, about other places in California. I haven't been IN Bakersfield, just through it. And yes, I do remember studying the Depression; I'm not old enough to remember it. And in fact, I know it was over by the time I was born, 1943. Your points are very well taken. I thank you for the history lesson! "The Grapes of Wrath" comes to mind, indeed...
