It's too bad that the person receiving the lobotomy was seldom the person who requested it.

When one applies this list of idiocy to the southern states it makes logical sense, when one applies it to the states that encompass New England it's laughable at best and disgustingly abhorrent in it's almost dullard and mentally challenged display of blind faith in flints and bearskins.

There is a difference between being schooled and wisdom. A degree doesn't make you wise.

That's not true. I don't know anyone who votes D in the rural areas. Most Democrats live around bigger cities it seems... Manchester, Nashua, Boston etc

It's only propaganda if it doesn't suit your agenda.

My brain feels fine, by the way.

What you are basically saying is then it is ok to use false information or sensationalism as long as it suits your agenda, that the end justifies the means.


I say it does not.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As a example here is one use of propaganda by the right. They used a bogus Sarah Brady quote and spread it. She did not say that.


"Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed
when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed."
----------------------------------------------------------------------

A example by the left when they pushed the first assault ban. They only said it would effect " 19 specific models". But in the dirty details it effected many many more and they twisted the wording of "assault weapon" to include many many more.

"The law bars the manufacture, import and sale of 19 specific assault-weapons models"

Not quite. The Iron range is very rural and the most Democratic area of the state.

Basically whites feel comfortable voting Democrat when they enjoy a comfortable ethnic majority. Wherever you have "multiculturalism" the Democrats inevitably pander to the growing minorities, which pisses whites off because it's largely their their money and social capital being "redistributed".
Wonderful point! The states with the highest minority populations often have the most Republican whites, like the deep south.
