Racist Hillbillies for Obama

Confronted with early returns showing Floridians voting for Obama and against same-sex marriage, Mike Riggs explains "a large chunk of North Florida's Bible-beating hillbillies decided they were fine with letting a black man write off the mortgages on their trailers and give them free health care, but not with allowing their neighbors in the rest of the state to marry." He goes on to lament, "It's amazing (and sad) to see which of their prejudices people are able to ignore when their own self-interests are at stake." Or when they think their prejudices are enlightenment.

Amazing how bigoted these "enlightened" types are.

James--Thanks for the plug, but you took that quote out of context. I didn't explain, I guessed: "It's too early to call, as they say, but my guess is that a large chunk of North Florida's Bible-beating hillbillies decided..."

As to the enlightenment jab: The best thing about believing in liberty is that I no longer have to pretend that bigots deserve respect for their ideas--yet I would never use government power to deny them rights that other American enjoy.

And while the meanness may be bad for diplomacy, conservatives have it coming for espousing limited government out of one side of their collective mouth and authoritarian social engineering out the other.
