Cultural Prejudice and Religious Intolerance Alive and Well on Cape Cod

The following remarks are quoted from the Cape Cod Today blog, RappCity. In case you were tired as I was, and did not read completely through this post, here is JC's opinion of those who differ in their views:

“The Bubba is Bursting

Now in my humble opinion (hit comment for yours), most of the truly misinformed people in this country get their news from the local pulpit on Sunday, and/or from the "Butte-Mesa Canyon, West Yahoo-Land Newspaper." The OP-ED pages in that town are not usually very open-minded, nor given to the opinions of many "outsiders" (Like anyone else in the USA)! I think the local library in Butte-Mesa Canyon also has a permanent, "Out to Lunch" sign on its door.

But, now that Satellite Dishes and cable, have brought many of these folks "inside the barn"...”

Now maybe I am wrong, but I take this attack as maligning people who get their news from the local pulpit (or anywhere else that conflicts with his or her narrow minded views). The rest of the dialogue I will let you judge for yourselves.

It is just this kind of disrespectful zealousness, painting people of differing views as being somehow inferior, that has so alienated good, conscientious people from the left. When the next elections roll around, you had better check your well informed cap at the door, because we “misinformed people” don't take kindly to being called “out to lunch Bubbas.” Now that we are “inside the barn,” and have the opportunity to observe your web pages, forums, blogs and comments, the principles and religious intolerance of the left have become increasingly visible.

It was John F. Kennedy who said, “forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.” We will not soon forget the aspersions cast, or who so belittled our views after this natural disaster.
