The intellectuals are a different story. The intellectual dems like I said lack the think through gene. They cannot come to a good decision because of their damaged reasoning as known as common sense.
If it were highly populated areas, then you wouldn't see the highly populated Atlanta suburbs going 3 to 1 for Republicans. The same can be said of Dallas, Charlotte, Nashville, Cincinnati, Kansas City, as well as many other places.

Wow, this is very interesting. I am interested if

****there are any links or demographic studies you can present to prove your statement as to the urban area population, and that "it has always been"
****you can provide any proof that there is veracity in your sarcastic reference to 'damaged reasoning', such as studies or medical facts on this

Otherwise, it appears you are just posting an opinion. A rather self righteous and self serving one at that.

Cheers.

We've been thru this dozens of other times before, and Conservatives can quote all their self-referential opinions and "experts" and masturbatory talking points til they're, um, "red" in the face.

When in fact all the evidence is exactly to the contrary, that the most conservative parts of the country, indeed the world, chronically "lead" the pack as the most technologically backward, least-educated, least healthy, most crime-ridden, most violent, most addicted, most unhappy of all places! So the bottom line is, regardless the supposed "evils" of lib-rulism, where's the proof that conservatism actually works.... anywhere?

I don't know about you, but I happen to welcome it. Makes the useless people easier to spot.

I've come to realize that when an individual has to trumpet their apparent superiority over another, it's usually because they are:

A. Decidedly insecure

B. Severely lacking in the areas they claim superiority in

All one has to do is look at not only the insane, unworkable, nation-destroying policies of the left to know that it's a farce.

All one has to do is look at the electorate of the Democrat Party to realize that the bulk of the people who vote for Democrats are either feminists, Marxists, atheists, and radical environmentalists, or they are poverty-stricken people looking for a handout, free-riders, high school dropouts or gullible minorities who actually believe that the Republican Party dislikes them.

The Republican Party doesn't attract:

-Free Loaders/ People Who Do Not Want to Work
-Marxists (What's that, Chairman Mao?)
-Feminists (big jawed/mean-faced (always angry)/clipped-haired women)
-Atheists (God-Deniers or God Haters)
-Radical Environmentalists (Green Peace Types who chain themselves to trees, or who nail spikes into trees so that loggers will be hurt when cutting them down.)
-High school Dropouts (this goes hand in hand with free-loaders and being uneducated)
-Paranoid (those who believe there is a vendetta against them because of their race.)

When you look at it, the Republican Party electorate is by far more educated than the Democrat Party electorate, considering that a huge percentage of Democrats are on welfare and refuse to work, never even finishing high school.


I'm not quite sure when I've seen such a pile of generalities and prejudices heaped in one location like this. It's rather amusing that you are discussing intelligence, but provide no facts that are verifiable just some deeply disturbing hate speak. Got any facts there besides you're close minded and narrow view of these folks?

LOL, thanks for the chuckle. If the Democratic party are the huge percentage on welfare that refuses to work and finish high school, how is it the the Mitt(en) republicans are ONLY doing, at best neck and neck with them in the polls? How is it he (Mitt) has already had one failed campaign, and the last educated republican we had in office boasted of his C+ average?

How ironic

Thomas Sowell is an intellectual himself.

Yes, one who recognizes his, and others, limitations.

Where is this evidence?

I can provide you evidence of the Atlanta area.

Cherokee County (Republican 80%)- Middle to Upper Middle Class
West Fulton County (Democrat 99%)- Poverty Stricken

North Fulton County (Republican 70%)- Upper Middle to Upper Class
Clayton County (Democrat 80%)- lower to lower middle class

Forsyth County (Republican 85%)- Middle to Upper Class
South Fulton County (Democrat 95%)- Lower to middle class

Fayette County (Republican 65%)- Middle to Upper Class
Clayton County (right next to Fayette; Democrat 80%)- lower to lower middle class


In the South, look at the concentrations of poverty in the Mississippi Delta and the voting map. It also almost identical. High poverty in the Delta = High Percentage of Democrat voters.

And it might also be helpful to everyone here if you produced a link or two from a credible source that backs up your statement.

Or shall we just go on this nations history at large? .. showing consistantly .. during a period of over 100 years, that this nation thrived and grew .. beyond all other nations .. because it was indeed, and in fact .. controlled by it's "conservative" masses ...
