So what do you call it when you call people rednecks? Is that a form of racism or do white collar working class have no rights because they are white?
Yep and another county getting a check for $89,000.00 and they are lowering property taxes, people are signing leases and will be paid for the drilling on private land. You don't even have to have a large amount of land. Of course that is unless Obama starts a war on drilling on private land effectively sending that money and jobs overseas.
I happen to be a working class white guy and I haven`t lost my rights.In fact I still have the right to call a redneck a redneck.

Heeey.. a Grateful Dead redneck! ... life is a 24 hour "party" , Obama would like it there? Enjoy the benny's from drilling because the rest of the country won't be able to.
The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry released research in October that indicates more than 214,000 jobs have been created in the commonwealth by industries tied to the Marcellus Shale, NewsItem.com reports.
PhillyBurbs.com quotes Rayola Dougher, a senior economic adviser for American Petroleum Industry, as saying that the natural gas industry is just in the beginning stages. “For every (gas) well, there’s about 400 jobs required,” she said.
Philadelphia Gas Works has been on life-support for decades. Philadelphia actually owns the 174-year-old natural gas distribution company, the only urban natural gas utility in the U.S. not run by a private company. Philadelphians pay some of the highest rates in the country. Still, with such a large impoverished population, PGW cannot cover its expenses and ends up dipping into the city’s treasury every year. Talk of selling the utility has surfaced and re-surfaced. Today, natural gas used to heat Philadelphia homes has to travel up a pipeline from the Gulf Coast. Meanwhile, there’s a gas boom going on in the rest of the state, which Philadelphia has yet to tap into it.
We`ve been reaping the rewards of the gas boom here in Western Pa. You know who the president is?
President Zero is doing everything he can to place roadblocks in front of the "fracking" industry. He doesn't want it. Here in Ohio, Sherrod Brown is helping Obama to put coal out of business as well as blocking gas drilling (fracking).
This boom has come in spite of Obama. He has done nothing to facilitate it and everything to block it. They are working on regs as we speak ... errr "type".
“In Pennsylvania, the economic boom has been tremendous. We’ve seen more than $5 billion paid out in royalty payments. We’ve seen over a billion dollars in tax revenue paid to the state. More than 300,000 people have been put to work both directly and indirectly.”
Shale gas has brought economic prosperity to key swing states PA and Ohio; will that end if they help Obama get re-elected?
President Obama: “Our continued dependence on fossil fuels will jeopardize our national security, it will smother our planet and will continue to put our economy and environment at risk.”
