yet that phrase is in "What is the matter wiht Kansas." I got the book (FINALLY) today and started readying it and entering a world, as presented, that is very ahem Orwellian and even alien.
let me repeat this again, "they are voting Republican to get even with Wall Street."
Now these are the sme folks who are in many ways going to be against any form of gun control ranging from the Assault Weapons Ban, to background checks, or licencing... only us foreigners and liberal, latte drinkers on the west coast will even sugest something as alien and unamerican as a licensing proceducre for gun owners (never mind we own two, we would have to go get licenced... what bout them apples? And I even had a latte today... and it is cold so I may just get the espresso machine out and make myself another one)
I have not been able to delve too far into the book, but what is clear is that we have had a transformation of historical proportions, farmers and other salt of the earth folk who are PISSED at the decline of culture and have bought the whole culture wars line, hook and sinker, never mind that their own lives, economic lives have gone down the drain
In modern "red America" Somebody like Debbs would have a life expectancy of ten minutes...
So this is a critical book, whether you are talking of the economy or gun control
Oh and at least my local barnes and noble has the hard cover dirt cheap, actually bellow the cost of a soft cover... in fact, will get my brother in law a copy tomorrow
