What do you say, Tribesman?

I say you have written a good example of total nonsense.
Lets start.

Starting with the assumption that the first Anglican settlers in what would become the United States were "backwards religious fundamentalists" who entertained theories of "global conspiracy",
|
Where was that claimed?
But then again you appear cluless on the simplest of stuff.
Start with basic religion 101, can you tell the difference between a presbyterian covenanter and an anglican?
Maybe you should start with the bishops wars which were the start of the wars of the three kingdoms.
Actually once you explore that and the papist conspiracy theories of those days you can bring that up to date with a quick look at a real stereotypical redneck group. Try for example the Knights party from down south , you can't get more backwards redneck than the Klan can you , they call themselves good christians and have this conspiracy thing about a global popish plot(as well as a Jewish/communist/Islamic/socialist/liberal/negro plot that controls all the media
)

and ending by labeling them as "rednecks", a term which has absolutely no relevance to the people of the day

Errrrrr...covananters were called rednecks.

Tribesman has demonstrated his complete inability to make an objective judgement with a basis in reality

Wrong, the comparison made is of a bunch of modernday backwards nuts, another bunch of modernday backwards nuts and some historic backwards nuts.
This whole tangent has developed because some people simply don't know the origins of the term.

To most of us they appear ridiculous, but to him they are truth itself.

Look up the origins for yourself , then for funlook up the schism with the Presbyterians in the 1840s in america which seperated the southern rednecks from those in the northern appalacians over an issue which was later to tear the country apart. If you explore that then you can tie it in very nicely with the picture of Rednecks that was posted.

He completely disregards the success of free societies in the modern world in favor of a dogma that has kept him and his people in the shackles of state control and religious violence.

He has no idea why his nation is regarded as being "backwards" amongst other western nations, and he may not even realize why.

Two rather pathetic lines , after that your post just degenerates even further into complete nonsense that isn't even worth a laughing smiley.
Though it is tempting with this talk of backwardsness and dogma in the modern world to point at the fundamentalist religious right who have found a nice home with the republicans, or to have a good laugh at the creationists who insist the government should push their literal interpreatrion of scripture in science class in schools.
