By now I'm sure that you have heard all the Redneck jokes. Now here are some takes on how Southern folks look at their Northern cousins: YOU JUST MIGHT BE A BLUE NECK IF: 1. You think barbecue is a verb meaning, "to cook outside." 2. You think Heinz Ketchup is really SPICY! 3. You don't have any problems pronouncing "Worcestershire sauce" correctly. 4. For breakfast, you would prefer potatoes au gratin to grits. 5. You've never, ever, eaten okra, fried or boiled. 6. You eat fried chicken with a knife and fork. 7. You've never seen a live chicken, and the only cows you've seen are on road trips. 8. You have no idea what a polecat is. 9. You don't see anything wrong with putting a sweater on a poodle. 10. You would rather vacation at Martha's Vineyard than Six Flags. 11. You would rather have your son become a lawyer than grow up to get his own TV fishing show. 12. Instead of referring to two or more people as "y'all," you call them "you guys", even if both of them are women. 13. You don't think Ted Kennedy has an accent. 14. You have never planned your summer vacation around a gun-‘n-knife show. 15. You only have one can of WD-40 somewhere around the house. 16. You don't have any hats in your closet that advertise feed stores. 17. You call binoculars opera glasses. 18. You can't spit out the car window without pulling over to the side of the road and stopping. 19. You don't know anyone with at least two first names. 20. You get freaked out when people on the subway talk to you. 21. You can do your laundry without quarters. 22. None of your fur coats are homemade
I did, J.T., and thank you. I still must be doing something wrong. Maybe I'm downloading it wrong. I'll play with it some more this morning and let you know how it goes.
And while I don't agree with Buchanan's policy prescriptions, the problem he describes -- the dramatic decline in birth rates among Europeans and, to a lesser extent, native-born Americans -- is sobering.
Behind frequent protestations by public officials about local control of the schools, a federal curriculum has been quietly imposed by law. All the pieces are now in place for this major goal of the Clinton administration.
Do you really see the decline in the birthrate of Native Americans as a problem, Jethro? In a generation they'll need to hire more non-idians to run the casinos..
The partial-birth abortion fight is back. Nowhere is the barbarity of abortion more apparent than here, and nowhere is the demented dogmatism of the movement that supports it more dramatically displayed....
In opposing partial-birth abortion, Bush is fighting for all of us. If we allow this evil to continue, we will have lost something basic. The debate isn't just about the humanity of the unborn child, but ours as well.
Last weekend, the New York Times wrote extensively about the Global Crossing debacle. Unfortunately, the Times appeared unable to find any involvement by major political figures, especially by any big-time members of the NSDP, even when the connection between the company and the top echelon of the Democrat establishment is a known fact.
Amazingly, about halfway though the lengthy article, the Times suddenly found a political connection. It seems that former President Bush had taken Global Crossing stock in lieu of an $80,000 lecture fee.
Unmentioned were a few rather intriguing facts about Global Crossing and the current chairman of the Democrat National Committee, Terry McAuliffe, Bill Clinton's handpicked choice to head the DNC.
Mr. McAuliffe and Global Crossing chairman Gary Winnick were bosom buddies. In 1997 Mr. Winnick, out of the goodness of his heart, allowed McAuliffe to buy Global Crossing stock for $100,000 – a bargain-basement price – before it was made available to the public.
Just two years later, McAuliffe sold that stock for $18 million. Had he held on to the stock it would now be worthless. He got out while the going was good.
Mr. McAuliffe introduced Winnick to his other bosom buddy, President William Jefferson Clinton. They played golf together, and in a show of gratitude Mr. Winnick dished out $1 million for the Clinton Presidential Library.
Not surprisingly, Global Crossing got a $400,000 contract with the Pentagon, which has since been canceled. Somebody called the contract "smelly."
As it lay mortally wounded, Global Crossing suddenly attracted a potential savior, Chinese billionaire Li Ka-Shing, owner of Hutchison Whampoa (HW). Together with another company, Singapore Technologies Telemedia Ltd., HW will put up $750 million to save the company and get it out of bankruptcy.
Li Ka-Shing is very close to the Communist Chinese leadership. Hutchison Whampoa has been linked by intelligence agencies to the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the Chinese intelligence community.
Our Marxist media are having a hard time with this. Bound and determined to create a phony Enron/Bush/GOP connection, they now find themselves facing what is beginning to look like a genuine political scandal they won't be able to ignore much longer.
On March 4, 1986, Alexander Williams was not old enough to vote, sign a contract, buy a beer, serve on a jury or enlist in the military without his parents' consent. He was 17 and thus, in the eyes of the law, a mere child. But the law made one significant exception: Williams was old enough to conclude his life in the Georgia electric chair. After being convicted of the kidnap, rape and murder of a 16-year-old girl, he was sentenced to do just that. The state plans to kill him Wednesday, Feb. 20.
For those that believe I agree with everything posted at Townhall.com, here is one with which I disagree. The man was 17 when he killed and that is hardly a child. Now he is 32.
And Rather, March 28: "On Capitol Hill, the Republican-controlled House voted mostly along party lines tonight to pass President Bush's federal budget blueprint. This includes his big tax-cut plan - partly bankrolled, critics say, through cuts in many federal aid programs for children and education."
Rather: "Well, because I think he is. I think at core he's an honest person. I know that you have a different view. I know that you consider it sort of astonishing anybody would say so, but I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."
so lemme see if i have your stance straight, jethro. its ok for the state to take a life as punishment for a crime, but its not ok for a doctor to take one by performing an abortion? seems a little inconsistent to me if a life is a life, an inconsistency i'm trying to understand. now, if i've misunderstood your position, i withdraw my question.
LMAO Ian that was great!
hellllllloooo everyone, the Rushdoggie has finally arrived on the scene.
Hey Rush, I left a message for you in the "Cooler Crew" thread but........Welcome!

Muskwa, did you get the file I sent ya?
I did, J.T., and thank you. I still must be doing something wrong. Maybe I'm downloading it wrong. I'll play with it some more this morning and let you know how it goes.
Thanks for taking the time to help me!
All you should have to do is right click on the image with your mouse, choose "Save Picture As" and make sure you save it as a .jpg.
Oh yeah? OK, I'll try that. Do I need to transfer it to a program like Power Point or Photo Suite, or will it upload into my preferences as is?
No need to do anything with it.
THX...
This really IS a nice board. You did good. Thanks.

Buchanan's opinion is a scarey thing to me.
I don't think the article was referring to Indians as having a low birth-rate, Sloop.

It is opinion. These are opinion boards.
