Libertarian doesn't give a redneck image to me. New Hampshire is not a culturally conservative (at least in the political sense of the word). There aren't a lot of really conservative rural areas of New Hampshire; the wealthier exurban Boston metro areas voted more Republican than the rural areas. Pennsylvania is the opposite.

I dunno why Maine is on the list, it's not politically conservative, but parts are isolated, backwards and rural and more rundown looking than the rest of New England.

Thank you. I don't know why the moderators haven't shut this crap down. I should make a thread about which city has the most thugs. Then you would see the real double standard come out if you know what I mean!

What--do you mean like the tons of "What's the worst ghetto" or "What's the most popular ghetto" threads that already exist on here...

I'm only going to comment on places I have been. I've lived in the Northeast and the Midwest and have been to almost every state east of the 100th meridian. I think the least redneck areas I have been to are Iowa, Connecticut and most of Minnesota. Most people in the northeast stereotype the rural Midwest as redneck while in actuality most of the northeast is appalachian once you get outside of the costal cities. That type of cuture doesn't exist at all in large swaths of the upper Midwest. It is one of the things that attracted me to the region in the first place.

You can play dumb all you want. If I started that thread you would have a public out cry to citydata asking for the thread to be removed. I'm not white, but if I were I would be offended by this thread.

I get your point, but as someone who is white, I don't really care.

Threads like these appear all the time, there is a difference between annoying and offensive.

Actually the most [fiscally] conservative area in CT is the Greenwich, CT (Wall Street-North) area. That's mostly due to $$$$.

But yeah, the more rural areas in most of CT are pretty affluent. Litchfield Hills, Granby, etc.
