[Vision2020] [Vision2020 liberals, courts, and Tony (was Pledge)

[Tony]

   No keely, you do not use the term Redneck, although you have failed to 
criticize those who do.  THAT is my point, and a valid one -- you are 
selectively critical of others for use of terms deemed by some to be 
bigoted.  Knuckle draggers and foamers are as bigoted as any other epithet, 
regardless of what particular characteristic they attempt to play upon. 
Further, I have never made any mention one way or the other regarding the 
use of the term Tarbaby, so I am confused by your decision to scold me for 
that.

Merry Christmas, -T
