The road to Fort Ashby, West Virginia, runs through Mineral County, an area of freezing grey farmland and barrack-style bungalows, where the sign outside the bar - "Hunters welcome" - has an unnerving effect on the passing non-hunter. In Cindy's coffee shop, customers speculate on the whereabouts of a lost cow and tell a weird Republican joke about the noise a chicken makes when its head is cut off: "Barack-Obama!, Barack-Obama!"
Can't you just hear her voice? What it sounds like?
"Well, you know what?" England says. "In New York - I've never been to New York, but I've heard people say - there's apartments there where people pay $1,500 a month for something smaller than a trailer. We only pay $200. And they look down on us. It's like, you're stupid."

"impoverished, undereducated young woman"
So let her join the fucking army. Give her lives to be responsible and label her a goddamn hero for serving our country. THAT is the shit I hate about the armed forces and America in general.
Go ahead Dhal, sock it to me.

Fucking Republicans label anyone who has served recently a "hero"; some how that makes the speaker more patriotic.
