About Me
- Janiece
- I am a Hot Chick living in Castle Rock, CO with my fabulous family. We have a rescue dog named "Jackson," and she's a Basenji/Shepherd mix. She's something of a head case, but we love her. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as an Enterprise Solutions Architect, specializing in VoIP and multimedia contact center design. I care about social justice, libraries, science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I knit for charity. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.

Thanks for the heads up, Janiece. You're right, it's an excellent post.
I've read "Deer Hunting with Jesus" - it's an excellent book.
I also see some of those same people Obama talks about in my small town. And the points made inb the post about our educational system are right - they don't teach kids to think for themselves, research for themselves, or how to analyze an argument (argument as in a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true).
I'll have a post up in a few days (the damn Pope held up my arrival into JFK last night after a 20 hour flight - with all respect due to the dude, he doesn't rate hoilding up NY airspace for 2 hours) but the condescension here is just dripping.
Another "conservatives are stupid" tack from the left. Want our votes when you claim to be acting in "our interests"? Stop talking down to us.
I am a Yankee liberal's worst nightmare: a redneck with a Ph.D.
John, I'm unsure what your issue is. Are you suggesting the book recommended over at ABW is somehow condescending, or are you suggesting that I'm condescending for pimping the post?
And surely I don't need to remind you, of all people, that education and intelligence are not always mutually inclusive.
No, the original post is condescending. And a conspiracy theory.
My post is up
