58. Please don't call us "hayseeds."
Sun Jun 25, 2023, 04:03 PM
Jun 2023

I’m an Ozark hillbilly whose forebears were here long before 1776. Scottish immigrants who came after losing the Rebellion, and before that, in the 1600’s because of religious persecution in England.
We are the reason you have a country.
We fought in the Revolution. And we fought against the South in the Civil War.
When you call us “hayseeds” you denigrate us, you elitist pig.
