IOWA - FIRST IN THE NATION





COGITO ERGO SUM

Hear we are almost two years away from a Presidential election and the news reporters are already starting to talk about Iowa.   As far as the Democratic Party is concerned I don’t understand why they don’t just blow off Iowa and not show.  

Iowa is one of those mid-western states that live in a time warp.   If you were unfortunate enough to sit through the movie Nebraska, then you have an understanding of the culture in Iowa.   This is a culture that views all non-white people who live in cities and coastal areas with suspicion and distrust.  They are corn fed farmers and people that support the farming industry that don’t understand a multi-cultural society and don’t want to understand.   They are Christians by inheritance and critical by culture. 

NEBRASKA CLIP


Policies don’t matter to the Corn Belt voters – their minds are made up.   Education doesn't matter; because, like throughout the deep south, you can have graduated from high school and even a university and still be scientific and culturally illiterate.  

Doesn't mean they are bad people - just entrenched in mid-twentieth century culture. 

Just my opinion

    I actually loved the movie, but that doesn't mean I want to live there.

    Huhh? Whahhh? I confess that I am a godless heathen and water is something that is an outward sign which manifests itself when I drink too much beer. You don't wanna go there.

    Hey, I did live in Nebraska. I'd go back. I loved our house in Omaha, thought our racially diverse neighborhood was great, and I loved going out to the Sandhills and the Niobrara River. Those people on the eastern shore of the Missouri, however. . . I'm willing to believe they're all a bunch of corn-fed yahoos.

    Hadn't planned to see the movie, but maybe I'll add it to the Netflix queue after all.

    BTW, that's one of the longest pieces of spam up there in the comments thread I've seen in quite a while.

    that state all of the south including my beloved Texas and Kansas and Iowa should just shut the doors of their borders and let the sane people go and they just do what they want..batshit I tell you ..totally batshit. if Texas did that I would gladly move to Canada. I'm tired of fighting the assholes.

    I ran out of money when I got to Iowa back in '74. It took me two years to save up enough to leave. They are definitely a little different down there.

    I had thought about commenting on the phrase you used in this post: COGITO ERGO SUM. In '69 I was stationed at Otis AFB, MA. In '90 I was back at Otis ANGB, MA working as a civilian on a government contract. I saw that phrase written at the top of the wall of the hanger I worked in. It was written every few feet all around the building. First thought someone had a ton of time on their hands and the second was "What a radical idea to have on a military instillation."

    But now seeing the spamm you got in this comment thread I think it would more radical to put that phrase in a church!!

    The Steve Finnell spamming pestilence has a reputation for this kind of crap. Sanctimonious bastard that he is, he's done the same with my blog, and others I've followed.
