And don't forget drive thru abortions, some places open 24 hours, too.
Yes of course....
I just get tired of listening to babble from folks who lean so far to one side they risk falling over. Leaning to far to the left or right can be equally dangerous for our future.
Op, why wasn't the middle an option? Just curious... Why does it have to be about liberal or conservative?
Conservative areas have less illegitimacy, higher education rates, less crime, more children per family, less drop out rates, greater health, less infant mortality, etc.
Exactly. Their kids don't smoke drugs, rob people, and skip school, or if they do go to school they shoot them up so nobody goes. Most cities are third world because the liberal democrats control them.
Whoa whoa. Care to back any of that up? I think you're both wrong.
I can back up his statement and statistics don't lie. Get a map and perform a statistical comparison in education, wealfare and other indicators pointing towards liberal and conservative dominated areas. You will find that his claims are right on the money. Try and prove him wrong bet you can't.... Sure you'll find a few exceptions but the results will be lop sided.
RonaJ^LOL. I agree, and whats up with hindus, Huh? They put their lip stick in the center of their head. LOL. The liberals will probably pick that up too.
I bet they start to pick up things from other unadvanced societies too to be "progressive" like walking on coals or something.
1. If conservative areas are what you say, how do you explain large swaths of the rural south? (no offence, honestly, but they are some of the poorest parts of the country.
2. And if Democrat areas are inherenltly smarter, how do you explain Schools in Detroit and Chicago?

Have you read about the crystal meth problem in rural America? in case you haven't been paying attention the shootings in schools have been in more suburban areas that tend to lean more conservatives!
Obama's home city of Chicago is filled with HS drop outs and immigrants that have less education than the people downstate, who have better educations overall.
This is fact. Downstate is more "conservative" and Chicago is "liberal" and Chicago has the worst public schools in the nation, a bad crime rate, more illiteracy, etc. -- and these people all vote liberal because they are looking for the government to give them something (they are tax consumers, not tax payers).
What conservative area do you know of that has a large tax consuming and/or welfare class?
What facts do you have?

Vermont 32
Minnesota 30.6
New Hampshire 30.3

The bottom 10?
Oklahoma 21.9
Tennessee 21.5

(Census Data from Encarta. The Most (and Least) Educated States - MSN Encarta)
All 10 of the top 10 went for Obama in 2008. 8/10 of the Bottom 10 went for McCain.
Forbes Magazine also did a list of the most and least educated cities in the US. The bottom 10 were a mixed bag, but the top 10 were Boulder, Ann Arbor, DC, San Jose, San Francisco, Southern CT, Charlottesville, Durham(NC), Boston, and Ft. Collins. Those are all fairly liberal cities.
I agree w/ you, I've lived in Oklahoma & Texas, I'm looking to venture out myself...I'm more "moderate" in terms of my politics whenever the subject should arise but I try to see things from both perspectives...since I've lived in pretty moderate conservative to conservative cities (Tulsa/Houston) I'm a little wary of how I might fare in a place like Baltimore or even Boston...but then again...
I'm from Baltimore, aka Charm City. You'd do okay in much of MD. Look at Howard or Montgomery Counties or northern Baltimore County. The city is a mess, stay outside of Baltimore proper. If you want rural, look at Carroll or Frederick Counties. If you are retired, lots more counties are worth a look.
Boston might be a bit much for you, not sure.
Lots of Texans end up in COLO and do very well here. We have tolerance for all sorts, and we have all sorts.
