So I get up this morning and read the ignorant fathead Rush Limbaugh says he believes we’re headed for secession.
No effing shit, Sherlock.
When two college dropouts who didn’t serve their country like you and Sean Hannity get in front of white America every day and get rich pandering to the most uneducated trailer trash element of our country…secession could be a possibility.
But of course once all these angry white people stop getting their monthly prop up revenue from the Blue States which carry their asses they might think again. Once the Feds close their military bases a rethink could occur. Once they stop getting their Social Security checks, their military pension checks, their Medicare benefits, their Medicaid benefits, and their agriculture subsidy checks…they might have a nuanced change of heart. I wonder if Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and the quintessential bitch Anne Coulter have ever thought all of this through.
If you look at the current Electoral College…the states which went Blue for Biden produce approximately 68% of U.S. GDP. The number is similar for tax revenue contribution.
Quite frankly…if I have to move from Oklahoma at this late stage of my life I would be okay with it. Maybe some sleepy little trout fishing town in Colorado would be cool. We’d be closer to my sister in Seattle and the kids in Denver.
I’d still be an OU fan. I have to admit I’m a sick OU football fan and that part of me would never change. I still get goosebumps when they come out of that tunnel in those interlocking OU’s. That part of me will never change.
At this point I think Clay Bennett and his ownership group should consider selling the Thunder to an ownership group in some city which deserves an NBA franchise in a league where 75% of the athletes are black. Oklahoma isn’t changing no matter how hard you guys try.
In retrospect…I’ve always wondered what would have happened if Norrick and the MAPS guys had landed the NHL franchise which became the Columbus Bluejackets. Maybe a predominantly white sports league would have been a better fit in Oklahoma.
Would the unread imbred whites in Oklahoma have embraced a league which featured the most skilled athletes in the world where fights are infrequent and the beer is expensive. My guess is it would have flopped because Oklahoma City Blazer fans were never the type of hockey fans who came to games to appreciate the beauty of the game.
When the Edmonton Oilers put their AHL team here it was a miserable failure. No one came to the games even though the caliber of athlete was night and day superior to what the Blazers offered. Former OKC mayor Mick Cornett knows exactly what I’m writing about in this paragraph.
Truth hurts.
As I’ve writen on my blog…I’ve never considered myself a white person even though that’s what it says I am on my birth certificate. I was always the darkest kid in school until I got to the 10th grade and found people my color at inner city John Marshall.
I was playing football, baseball, and basketball…a three sport kid. My Dad asked me,” We could probably swing it if you don’t want to go to school there.”
I said, ” No…I’d like to go there. There will be more people like me. Are you insane?”
I went there and of course I never carried a football again in my football career, but it made me a better person who got to see every walk of like walking those halls. It made me look at people through a different prism.
We really are are all humans if you can put your bigotry and inherited prejudice to the side.
Evidently…that isn’t what a significant portion of white America believes circa 2020.
So Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and all you dittoheads… go ahead and reboot the Confederacy. See what the markets do to your country the day you announce you’re leaving. I can’t imagine your 401ks would inflate in value without Amazon, Google, Facebook, and the other tech stocks.
Go ahead…please leave and take all the trailer trash with you.
