Interesting.... I worked on a lobster boat in Long Island Sound in my teens. I made dang sure to go to college after enduring many months of this.
Hey! Easy on us Okies. We have some of the best truck stop sushi in the nation. My wife is from Maine and have spent a lot of time hanging out with the inlaws. So I understand the "true" meaning of fresh fish. Haddock, lobster and chowder, Boothbay Harbor, yum! I never realized a Warren was from Oklahoma.
Boothbay Harbor, Maine, indeed. I live on the Left Coast now, but was in Maine just a couple weeks ago, just to remind people how special I am. I am nineth generation Maine so it is the only place in the country where if ICE tries to deport me, I will deport them. I am sort of undocumented here on the Left Coast. You know in Maine, you are not legal unless both you and your grandfather were born there. In regard to Okies, you may have missed my post yesterday where I faulted Fauxco for having to get into all this fake indian stuff when she is descended from economically marginal/struggling deplorables in Oklahoma which gives her perfectly honorable creds as an American. Her parents/family would have gone through the dust bowl, the depression, the whole bit in Oklahoma- yet she ended out as professor at harvard and running for president. That's a great story all by itself. She is just ashamed to be white and to have been a beneficiary of the American struggle and the American dream so tries to be a fake indian to juice up the story and distance herself from white folks. You can talk about truck stop sushi in Oklahoma but in my city the japanese family that used to run my regular sushi joint is now run by a mexican family. That ain't right for some reason. You said you didnt know she is from Oklahoma. I understand that. It took me a while to find that out too. But that's my point. Why does she hide from that until it is outed as part of her fake indian story? The answer is that she is a classic dem candidate now. Just wants to appeal to the the east coast, Chicago, and the left coast and the hell with flyover country. Maine is flyover country too, but by contrast, Trump went to northern Maine two times to get one frigging electoral vote. He worked his arse off. Hillary's appearances in the Northern Maine electoral district were ZZZZZERO. All farmers and loggers up there. Dems no longer relate well or even bother to try to get votes from people who do real work for a living. In fact the dems hate them.
Great post. A good friend of my wife's use to call anyone not native to the State "away from here's". And the only thing worse than being "away from here" was being from New Jersey. Beautiful Country.
This is very true and far more significant for the republicans than appealing to hispanics. Those working class votes are there for the taking, but Trump is the only republican who did it. The rest are babbling about tax cuts and free enterprise. The dems are openly anti-white and should be called on it, just as they are always accusing the republicans of racism. But it is a forbidden topic among republicans. Someone in the media might object, you know, and they can't risk that. The Mitt Romney/Bush wing would rather lose an election than be accused of racism.
Indeed. Even an idiot like Biden gets it. You may recall that after Hillary lost, Biden said that "a little bit of elitism has crept into the democratic party." And that the dems need to go back to focusing on blue collar issues rather than identity politics. Of course he grew up in Scranton, PA coal country and the dems were pro-blue collar workers back then. Now the dems hate coal country and hate the people who work there and hate men and hate whites and hate working class towns where there are no progressives focused on transgenders instead of all this economic stuff like jobs. That's soooo yesterday.
Heh. I was wondering when this issue would come up again- about how one of Liarwatha's ancestors was part of the Tennessee Volunteers who rounded up the Cherokees and moved them to Oklahoma. I saw it reported a long time back as part of one of her previous native american scams. That might be one of the reasons why the Cherokee would not give her tribal registration and recognition. Just sayin. Let the press groom through the geneology that is laid out and confirm or deny it. Fauxco is all in favor of having everyone focus on her genealogy so let's do that. As they say about villages out on the islands in Maine, "if you go back more than one generation, the family trees turn into a brush pile." Lots of truth there. It was the same in remote locations like Oklahoma. Best not to try to prove that you are from the good team rather than the bad team because there was only one team. https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brie...-ancestors-rounded-up-cherokees-for-the-trail
No lie there. There are people on the Left Coast who have never been east so their listening skills are not that fine-tuned. A few weeks ago someone asked me if I had a New Jersey accent. I know it is not mellow to say but I felt like decking the mofo right there. Also, to add to your vocabulary about "people from away" the Mainers along the coast refer to people who live there but were not born there as "year-round summer visitors." You dont want to even bother with any discussions about undocumented versus illegal alien in Maine. Even a birth certificate wont get you there. Unless it is your grandfathers birth certificate along with yours. As it should be. Jack Kennedy leaving Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. 1962. That's his sister Patricia there, not one of his other women. another current photo of the church below this one. Lobster boats out front in the hahbah (harbor). As it should be.
