Why didn't Obama win Pike County, Kentucky

What we know:

* Hillary Clinton won 91% of the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary vote.  She received 12,915 votes, easily beating Barack Obama's 936 votes.

* Pike County, Kentucky is a moist county — a county in which alcohol sales are prohibited (a dry county), but containing a "wet" city, in this case Pikeville, where package alcohol sales are allowed.

* The county was named for General Zebulon Pike, the explorer who discovered Pikes Peak. Between 1860 and 1891 the Hatfield-McCoy feud raged in Pike and bordering Mingo County, West Virginia.

* The racial makeup of the county was 98.35% White, 0.45% Black or African American, 0.11% Native American, 0.41% Asian, 0.03% Pacific Islander, 0.10% from other races, and 0.56% from two or more races. 0.65% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

Social liberalism and other incarnations of demagoguery are all about self-hate.

Most people accept they are sinners and work to improve themselves, usually through the gospels of Jesus christ. Some however have great difficulty facing the reality about themselves and thus generate fantasies about the reality outside and blame that for their problems. Hiding behind the veil of anti-racism does not excuse the fact that you are skapegoating another race for your problems. You are not an intellectual sticking it to the man, you are not telling it like it is, you are a coward.
