White woman's burden

The Utah Senate seems to be chock-a-block with wordsmiths who specialize in disgraced early 20th Century lingo.

Sen. Chris Buttars, of course, regularly goes to his hillbilly* phrase book for gems like "lynch mob" to describe angry emails and "those people" for African-Americans.

Now, Sen. Margie Dayton shows her stuff, speaking against a Buttars' bill that would create a registry for minority owned businesses.

Dayton, Majestic Matron of Orem, asked why minority businesses should get special treatment.
"It seems like the white male is such a burden or frustration to society. I really have angst with the growing discrimination towards the white male family oriented Christian male. I'm just frustrated with that."
We can only hope Margie doesn't get a necktie party in her inbox.

*As a native Appalachian, I apologize, in advance, to hillbillies everywhere.

why is this blogger such a bigot? Bigoted against Hillbillys, what an ignorant close minded hypocrite. Oh well, it just goes with the territory when you are a liberal.

Poor Glenny....you want tolerance except for when it is not expedient for you.

Why can't we have a color-blind society? Why favor one race or sex over another?
