The Aspen Times: Take a trip back to the bad ol' days

A friend of mine forwarded me a column from the Aspen Times. It's about the "Angry White Man" vote in this year's election. It is one truly unique work, as in it is from another age -- like before the Civil Rights Movement, or before women received the vote, or persons with non-traditional lifestyles could walk around on the street without fear. Basically, columnist Gary Hubell makes it clear that white men are a little more equal than everyone else, and isn't shy about it. If you're looking for a 'feel good redneck white guy' read, click on the headline for the hillbilly point of view.

Up front: It's going to be offensive to some -- well most. But it is something that some folks are still believing. What sex or race, religion or heritage someone should not be a challenge to their integrity, intelligence or their right to be an American.

I suppose not all the garbage being put out there today is by Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh. People are entitled to their opinions, no matter how unenlightened, dim, uninformed or vulgar. But watching those opinions is like passing by a car accident that you just can't stop watching until you pull past it.
