The post was a generalization. I don't think it was judgmental, however. I didn't say that the group painted by my large brush had "lost out with God" or was headed for damnation. Ironically, those under the brush would not hesitate to send me to hell for my facial hair and the waxed tip shoe laces in my wingtips. I guess that's why I don't see the "condescension" in my post either.
The only "proof" I offer is the resonance that others find with what I said. If someone doesn't find the same resonance there is no need to assume I was intending to paint them. Sometimes we just come away from a lifetime of experience with different impressions.

Really?
I thought you said you usually find out that these folks wind up dumping their wives and driving trucks cross country! Hmmmm!
