So true.

Yet John McCain is outpolling Barack Obama by nearly thirty points here in the Sooner State.

The missing piece of the puzzle?

Toby Keith is an (all-too-typical) Oklahoma Democrat.

That shocked sound wasn’t glenn beck being shocked. That sound was glenn beck shooting a big load in his pants because toby keith said what he wanted to say. I can somewhat understand the confusion. Same sound, different reaction.

Just sayin.

And thus SFAW wins the internets! My hat’s off to you! Thankfully for this computer keyboard and monitor, I’m not drinking coffee.

OK, I see what you mean. Middle school is “way back in the before time” for me.

That being said: based on what I skimmed in Wikipedia (hey, I gotta start somewhere), it’s not clear to me that scalawags were necessarily po’ folk. So I guess I’ll agree to disagree or whatevah.

Re: Bush’s lack of foresight on the insurgency: good joke! When has Chimperor ever thought about *anything*? Other than his next beer, or when Condi can give him one of her “special de-briefings”, that is.

And who were those white Southerners? And why did they support the federal government? And what where they hoping to get?

AFAIK, the scalawags were largely poor southern whites who felt screwed by the southern gentry. And no doubt that while part of the negative attitudes toward scalawags related to their cooperation with the hated Union army (*), some of the opposition was that they didn’t “know their place” and were trying to “rise beyond their station” to a station reserved previously for the gentry. This applies to Bill Clinton certainly (and look at how he was treated … c.f. the infamous quotation about him “trashing” DC when it was “not his place” to do so and note the use of the phrase “not his place”) … Toby Keith … I dunno …

Toby Keith, OTOH, supports a federal government more than happy to keep everyone in their place in the social hierarchy …

* why our “southern” president didn’t see the Iraqi insurgency coming a mile away is beyond me … he’s “from” (I know, he’s from CT, that’s why I put the quotes around the word “from”) one of those states that’s very proud of its own insurgency launched against a victorious “army of liberation”.
