Ok folks, what follows below is the kind of dimwit commenting that anonymous persons try to get me to approve on my blog.
Yep, I am putting this particular comment front and center so everyone can see the sort of hateful, bullying garbage internet trolls post, when anyone disagrees with them or offers differing viewpoints on issues, especially during this election cycle.
Not only are supposed race baiting Trump supporters emboldened nowadays(as the left calls them)but as I see them, ultra liberal folks who have opened their minds so much that their brains are falling out are likewise taking shots.
Yes, I went there.

"Sluggy...proud of what exactly?? You should read the new book "Hillbilly Elegy"...written by a white guy (some refer to him as White Trash and he acknowledges this). He points out that to be working class in America and white these days means you: use drugs, have kids out of wedlock, are obese, don't work,are in poor health, collect food stamps and can barely speak/write English...Trump supporters ARE racist no doubt about it. Why not just own up to it and move on? In your case, and judging from the photos you post, this fits your family to a T...why not just admit you are your kind are racist, homophobic, indifferent to women's rights and hostile to immigrants? The fact that you refuse to post critical comments suggests you are fundamentally a coward who refuses to accept responsibility for the nonsense you publish."-Anonymous Commentor
First off you don't even "get" the gist of the book you reference nor the author's point in writing it. You are showing your special kind of stupid using this as an argument to condemn me and "my kind". Everything you mention above can also be used in an equally hateful way to describe inner city poor, or black/any other ethnicity than white if you prefer those labels. And I am not black/hispanic either.
Personally, I didn't vote for Trump(and wouldn't have)and in addition, I NEVER would have voted for Hillary either. Not that that has anything to do with the gist of my post of yesterday.
My post was a plea for sanity and calm in our country in the days ahead and in addition, an attempt to clue folks in who are living in the "bubble" as to what other Americans who don't agree with them may be thinking. I suppose since I don't live on the coasts or inside the Beltway and I talk to people in many socioeconomic classes in this country I may have an insight that the liberal elite types don't have.
So you think I am White Trash who is a racist, homophobic, indifferent to women's rights and hostile to immigrants? You couldn't be more wrong.
I am a woman who identifies as a libertarian(small "l"), I graduated from a women's college(yes I am a college graduate)and I donate to Planned Parenthood, so tell me again how am I indifferent to women's rights?
And by the way, my Hubs has an advanced degree from Johns Hopkins University while we are at this(he was born into a poor Northern family and he and his sister where the first ones in their family to earn university degrees).
I had a serious relationship with and almost married a man from the Philippines. Me have a problem with immigrants? I doubt it.
I have an African American sister in-law. Yep, I am a big old racist.
One of my best friends from college is an African American lesbian who converted to Judaism and adopted 2 children. Racist, Homophobe, religiously intolerant.....that's me evidently.
I worked in theater in my younger days so I have many LGBTQ friends. Just ask my gay friends how much of a homophobe I am.
When I was younger I was a foster parent to 4 kids....1 white, 1 latino and 2 biracial(black/white).
More racist actions on my part.
One of my own children is B on that LGBTQ spectrum. Gotta hate my own flesh and blood it seems.
I have financial supported a charitable organization since 1988 which cares for orphaned children in various African countries(and brings some to the US and Canada for adoption when that is the better option). Supporting foreign non-white children and encouraging foreign adoption/immigration.....how evil can I get?!
And as for ".... fundamentally a coward who refuses to accept responsibility for the nonsense you publish."
I sign every post I write and identify myself, which is a lot more than I can say for your snide hate-filled diatribes personally attacking me.
You think it's nonsense, that's your right. But I don't have to listen to you attack me from the shadows.
So "Anonymous" this is why sometimes you should STFU and get your facts straight before you attack someone you know nothing about.
And everyone can thank this "Anonymous excuse for humanity" for me no longer allowing anonymous comments of any kind(even after moderation)on my blog.
I know I am losing some very fine commentors by doing this but I just don't need to see the negativity I have to endure when I attempt to protect all my loyal readers from wickedness like this type of online troll.
