So there's that.

Conservatives prefer Alternative Facts.
Can you provide some that they will like?

I think they will tell you that most Billionaires aren't Obese. True. Bloomberg, Tim Cook, Warren Buffet, Tim Steyer, Betsy Devos.....not fat.

Belief in the legitimacy of the social contract is undoubtedly a mental delusion.

All these obesity stats are based on a small sample of people in phone surveys who self report, not medical records from a physicians office which would be a violation of HIPA privacy laws.

They are also more likely to be presented as per capita stats which is misleading. More populated states like California will have a higher number of obese people. Looking at percentage is a way those states to hide their greater number of obese people.

Your problem with Trump is he has done conservative things. You wouldn't be complaining about him otherwise.

Today, the conservative principles are often found with moderate Democrats. They are the one who employs fiscal responsibility and smart government. In another 10 years, I expect some of the conservative principles to be solidly moderate liberal doctrine. Guys like Jerry Brown, Scott Wiener, for example; are moderate Democrats.


.

Liberals who claim to be fiscally responsble are the ones who want to jack up taxes to balance bloated budgets passed by politicians.

Brown and Weiner are not moderate Democrats.

I would think people who live in rural areas tend to be more healthy because they do more stuff outdoors.

You are showing your disdain for rural people which is typical of pretentious leftwingers like you.

I would think Democrats would tend to be more unhealthy because the base of their party are poor people. That is why the Democrat party runs on expanding government programs and jacking up taxes.

It has nothing to do with what I think of rural people.

The fact of the matter is that by any metric the people of West Virgina are A) conservative on the whole and B) are among the most unhealthy people in the country.

So whatever proactive steps the state is taking to make West Virginians more "personally responsible" are not producing results anybody should be using in support of an argument. It flies in the face of his hypothesis.

Hmmm...I’d say it’s obvious conservatives are “psychologically” heathier than liberals.
There’s a reason so many understand liberalism to be a mental disorder......

Mentally? Without a doubt.
