All respect and no restraint

Republicans think we're as stupid as they are

After not just calling Obama uppity but repeating the term when asked ifhe was sure that's the word he wanted to use...

"Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they're uppity," Westmoreland said.

Asked to clarify that he used the word “uppity,” Westmoreland said, “Uppity, yeah.” 

Westmoreland's staff said he is the only Georgian alive that didn't know it was a slur.

A spokesman for the congressman said later that his boss didn’t realize that term has long been used to describe African Americans who don’t know their place. If so, he is the only born-and-bred Southerner alive who is so oblivious. I should note, however, that the last time Westmoreland’s staff got such a damage-control workout was in 2006, when the congressman sponsored legislation to post the Ten Commandments in the House and Senate -- and then proved unable to list them.

I have a question for all you Americhristians. Doesn't your god honor truth? Because it sure doesn't look like it from here.
