As far as your unconstitutional views, I'll give that one the same attention as Twister gives his racist slurs against rural Americans.

I've addressed it, you just don't like the answer so you ignore, deflect, and project.

Why are you so desperate for it to have mean what you need it to mean? Why does it even matter to you?

Jingo all the way?

Incorrect. You denied there is an accent.
Shall I cut and paste it?
Try pronouncing 'Murican aloud. Who talks like that? I'll await your answer.
Next: Why does racism matter to me? Because it is wrong, and when I see it propagated here, like in your mockery of Americans who speak with an accent that makes them pronounce America as Murica, I speak out against it.

Yes, I denied there is any particular accent, because there IS no accent - except in the minds of those who need to hear one.

And, if you want to fight against racism, you should start with the guy you see in the mirror.
You know, start small, and within your capacity.

You're not fooling anyone.

Have you pronounced it out loud yet? Go on...theres a good gentlemen. Say it. Say "murica" . Good. Now, if you tell me that is not an accent then you are not only a racist but you'll also be a liar and you won't be fooling any of us. (Too many people saw the puppet show you see.)

I respect Danny's positions regarding the US Constitution because he is one of the few gun supporters here who actually understands that there are other parts of the Constitution that need to be upheld as well.

I think it's also important to realize this, however: while you may think the 2nd Amendment is under attack, there have been no violations of it by the government; that is, every restriction has been either declared Constitutional or unconstitutional, and handled accordingly. So at least for the present, for the most part, the 2nd Amendment is intact. The Supreme Court would never allow a complete ban, so that dog don't hunt. It's a moot question.

But every single minute, including this one, the Fourth Amendment (the right to live without all pervading warrantless mass surveillance, all the time) and Article 1, Section 8 (only Congress shall declare War) are being trashed. So it would be nice to see some of the same kind of outrage over things that are actually happening in real time.

A ‘murican is someone who pronounces “America” or “American” with the accent on the “M,” usually pronouncing the “A” as a exhaled “uh.” It is usually attributed to “rednecks,” although not specifically Southern ones.

It is ALWAYS a derisive hateful term to denigrate those the oh so smart disagree with in "flyover country".

Thanks Ed. So you agree with me that there is an accent implied there.
I've heard the term red neck up here quite a bit over the years. It also seems stereotypical. Is it a common term in the States?

It IS derisive, they’re certainly making fun of people who use the term. I’ve never heard any hatred in it though. Certainly not as much hatred as the rednecks seem to put into the word “liberal!” (Or, “lib’rul,” as it’s usually pronounced by them.)

Don't you have the ability to sense irony Ed? I can't believe you just wrote that.

Why is it you can't manage to comprehend that it is EXACTLY that sort of justification that fuels ALL HATE GROUPS! Those who are hated "deserve" it in some way.

Ed come on you are better than this. Please tell me you were making a joke. Isn't it better if NOBODY is picked on and derided? Or is it ok with you if it is people you don't like personally?
