This is why I always have to laugh whenever some of you posters babble on about how "dumb and uneducated" conservatives are. A HUGE chunk of the Democratic voting block consists of uneducated, poor people living of the government. Are these people somehow more intelligent because they live in major cities?

Kinda makes your constant claims of "uneducated redneck conservatives" sound pretty silly.

It is not a coincidence that the homeless populations in the state of California grew in the seventies and eighties. The people were put out on the street when mental hospitals started to close all over the state."

Why do Republicans deny that homelessness became a major problem because of the Reagan Administration? | Hospital administration

"Also, he inexplicably closed the mental hospitals which put many mentally ill people out on the streets, of San Francisco and other major cities."

Search Google with Reagan homeless and mental and you'll get plenty of hits.
Search for "Supreme Court ruling ACLU mental hospitals" and then edit your post.

Reagan followed the law. The SCOTUS ruled that the mental institutions could not keep patients without their consent. Guess who filed the lawsuit. The ACLU.

Einstein says it all.

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'
