WaPo’s Kathleen Parker: Southerners Aren’t “Smart” Or “Sophisticated”…
[Image: 2qbbs5d.jpg]

Sometimes you really have to just laugh at elitist Leftists.....

According to the Washington Post’s Kathleen Parker, smart and sophisticated people don’t speak with a southern accent.

On Sunday’s Meet The Press, host David Gregory played an Americans For Prosperity ad that emphasized the confusing nature of Obamacare.

The WaPo columnist Parker suggested that “countrified” folks aren’t necessarily the best spokespeople for the assertion:


PARKER
: And by the way, I think you could find someone who doesn’t have a southern accent who is confused by this act. Because we always seem to find a character who seems a little countrified, who can’t just fathom. You know, there are plenty of smart, sophisticated people, who are equally hazy about what is really going on.

Speaking of, I was fortunate to see Dr. Ralph Stanley play live at 87 years old this past weekend and it was an honor.

Guess I'll have to work tomorrow with my two southern born, southern educated surgeons tomorrow. Never mind the fact that they both went to top 25 medical schools (Duke and UAB)

dfarr,

What is stopping an internet clinic? I was thinking about some of the problems the ACA imposes. Why can't technology be a part of the answer. They do it over the internet with those Anarctica crews? I even think they diagnosed breast cancer with a blood test online. Can technology have an impact here? You could make a killing sitting at home on your computer charging people 20 bucks a time for five minutes of your time.

WIN WIN

This is one of the most intellectually challenged posts I have ever read. It is almost like a special needs child wrote it.

I'll try to explain it to you my little special needs one.

SEE Dfarr here is a Nurse Practioner. He can prescribe medications. So I was thinking that someone who can diagnose the common run of the mill stuff could make a killing starting up an internet clinic. Much like a brick and mortar walk in clinic EXCEPT over the internet.

Try to think of it this way. The advantage that Amazon has over a Best Buy.

Clear it up cupcake?
