First of all what about hard working people(blue collar) makes them close minded and ignorant(sheeples as you say)? You seem to have a bit of elitism about you. I'd advise you not to stereotype or underestimate the people who build our country by the sweat off their brow.
buddy my sentiments exactly.

Of course as a proud Brit I find the fact that I share the same values as a redneck rather sickening though
