As the old saying goes, "A picture says a thousand words."

In the hills of Kentucky, Danny Hafley has something to say.  Deep political thoughts.  So he's exercising his God given and 1st Amendment rights as an "Uhmerikun."  (Sorry Gary.  My apologies.)

Through clever use of "stereotyping," Mr. Hafley is letting us know what he thinks of the President and the job he's doing.  Danny's acts of expression and speech are protected under "numero uno" in the Bill of Rights, as it should.

When questioned on the clever meaning of his effigy, Danny replied, “That’s my buddy.  He don’t talk. Don’t make no smart comments."

But, Mr. Hafley seems to be missing the ultimate irony in this tale of "stereotyping" in America.

#1  Danny Halfley lives in "Kentucky," a commonwealth some perceive and stereotype as a home to racist "rednecks."  (Check)

#2  There's the stereotype that Kentucky is populated by uneducated hillbillies who use bad grammar.  For example, "He don't talk" should be "He doesn't talk."  And "Don't make no smart comments" is using a double negative. (Check)

#3  Look at the picture.  It appears Danny lives in a trailer which some would perceive as a stereotypical home of "rednecks" who live in Kentucky.  (Check)

I don't believe any of these stereotypes, but there are those that do.  So, with Danny exercising his 1st Amendment rights, he's not stereotyping the President.  He's stereotyping himself. 

I guess that other saying is also true.  "Freedom is not free.  It comes with a price."  Which is really true if you don't think.
