After a minor discussion with the gentlemen in the back room, I heard one of them mutter "go back where you came from". Seeing as I speak with a "foreign" accent, and tend to disagree with them over several issues -- there really is no love lost there -- it was probably about me.

You know, there are damned good reasons to hate the Red States. One of them for me is that the phrase "go back where you came from" most often seems to come from conservatives and folks from the great American heartland.
