5. BULLSHIT headline

"Iowa" is not uneasy. What a gross over-generalization. One or two ISU economists do not speak for Iowa. I bet 10 to 1 that if you go downtown to the cafe in Hicktown, Iowa, 9 out of 10 of the people sitting in there will favor anything tht sounds remotely punitive to someone else, especially Mexico.

We have got to stop shitting ourselves about the reality in most of these places. They are NOT the progressive-leaning bastions of reason that we wish they might be. And if we don't wake the hell up and challenge the thinking of these these hunyocks, we're on the path to becoming Alabama.
