VABills Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Pennsylvania is a strange state. Step over the border and its like you are in Alabama. The rural areas are very, very Conservative. Lots of churches, 10 commandment signs on lawns and confederate flags. Yet the big cities are of course very liberal. Its like the two big cities and Alabama in between. New York would never elect a complete as-wipe like Rick Santorium to the Senate. Our as-wipes are much more liberal. As for Erie, it's airport is a real sh-- hole. Barrack is that you?

I went to Sugargrove, PA for an "Abolitionist Contevetion" a re-inactment of an 1850's convention where Buffalo Native William Wells Brown spoke--really an actor, of course. The night before someone burned a cross on the Church's lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lived here for almost 40 years, and I have yet to see a "10 commandment sign" on anyone's lawn. Have seen a few Confederate flags, though; I think they come free with the NASCAR license plates.

Simon Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 ...You run out of beer and your friends go home. ... Sheeeeeit. If you run out of beer you ain't from Pennsylvania. I've lived here for almost 40 years, and I have yet to see a "10 commandment sign" on anyone's lawn. Have seen a few Confederate flags, though; I think they come free with the NASCAR license plates. Yerp. And the worst of the "confederates" we see over here are ALWAYS some of you oh so refined city folk who stupidly believe simple-minded stereotypes bear any resemblance to reality and think we find it acceptable for you to come over for the weekend and run around getting drunk and bitching about !@#$s and jews. We're good country folk and that evil sh-- don't fly around here. Fortunately it often ends with a beautiful campfire. And when I say campfire I'm talking about some douchebag from Cleveburgh's camp. On fire. And in case we have any members of the law enforcement community listening in I'd like it clearly understood that I was nowhere near the area when somebody tied a line into that well and threw a hose threw that redneck cityboy's camp window. And left it on. In February. Nope, don't know no nuthin 'bout that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 This is pretty interesting: http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/ob...ts,351346.shtml Do you know what's really interesting? The fact that Obama and Clinton have so many people working to rip the other one apart that they both need to spend an inordinate amount of time giving speeches to correct the stupid shiit they may or may not have said in previous speeches. Or that their associates have said. Obama is running around putting fingers in holes created by his pastor or comments about Pennsylvanians while Hillary runs around putting fingers in holes created by fake sniper fire or the multiple people she has to fire from her campaign because she was too stupid to fire them when she still had a chance to win enough delegates. At this point, all McCain has to do is stand around and say nothing and he can walk into the White House strictly off the complete and utter idiotic infighting going on between Obama and Clinton. It's a goddamn embarrassment on all fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, it was more common than one might think, up through the middle of the nineteenth century. All those fine, upstanding "Mayflower families"? First cousins galore. I believe it - who else was around for them to marry? My family landed in 1658 and my brother has spent years tracing them, I'll have to ask him what he found in that regard. By that time though there were more people around. Plus a bunch of us moved west (one co-founded Portland OR as a matter of fact) and so hopefully improved the gene pool some. I like to think so anyway. I think my dad was born in Scranton by the way...he was a big bullshitter that's not the sort of thing one makes up.
