Your definitions are not shared by everyone. I appreciate that you wish to make a distinction among various poor rural folks, but there is not even a glimmer of light between any of the many disparaging terms used to describe my ancestral people. Call them shitheels, crackers, rednecks, hillbillies, white trash, shitkickers, rubes, yokels, good ol’ boys…whatever it is, it’s all the same disparagement. These guys might well be any or all of them.
But first last and always, they’re assholes.
I’m such a dick for calling him a dick the wrong way.
Sorry you’re not aware of the difference, but it’s real, the fact that others use them wrong as insults notwithstanding.
The first step is admitting you have a problem 
Hey, how can you tell these Bundy guys are white?
They’re still alive!

… and they’re against any government spending that they themselves don’t receive.
I thought that was liberals?
Oh wait, those are the people that want to take your money and give it to someone else
Or build buildings in the middle of a complete wasteland to manage a pathetic excuse of a wildlife refuge … let the militiamen have it, saves the taxpayers some money. Let the birds shit on them …
Wow, you so funny.
Yes, I think this is the best way to handle this. Making a big deal out of this is exactly what they want. The key is that they fail at this attempt, and fail in a way that is not particularly newsworthy.
Who is this ‘everyone’ you speak of?
If you’re talking about me (and I’m certainly distinct from ‘everyone’ - my following is pretty limited, really), I don’t call Ted Cruz, say, a ‘sovereign citizen,’ and he’s certainly pretty far right.
Like the Bundys.
The Bundys are liberals? You just blew my mind 
No wait, the Bundy’s want to take your money for themselves…so they are more like the IRS.
Shit, my mind just blew again.
I though I heard a noise, but by the sound of it, I thought it was an ant farting. An easy mistake.
Ok I debated asking here since it’s a pit thread but given the nature of the question, I figured it probably best. I live here in Oregon and this is of course all over the news. I was talking about it with my dad and I mentioned that I didn’t see what the big deal was over the people being jailed. From what I’d read it was maybe a bit harsh of a sentence but not worth this sort of response. He mentioned that it was about ‘people of certain colors being able to get away with things white people can’t’. At that point the topic was dropped for the sake of family unity but…what the hell was he talking about? Did I miss something in the articles I read about this? I’m assuming I just read articles on a different type of website than him but I’m still curious if that’s really part of what’s going on.
Kdapt save me from asshole didactic prescriptivists. You’re the real terrorists.
FYI, it is not Treason that they have committed but probably Seditious conspiracy.

Non-white people under similar circumstances are given the honor of becoming martyrs for their cause. White patriots find this inequality vexing.
Go argue about the real meaning of “terrorist” and tell me who is a didactic prescriptivist, you redneck hillbilly.
Wait, now I’m both “modest and quiet” AND a gun-totin’ Trump supporter? Why do you hate the English language so much?
