Huh? Really? Where did you come up with this made up opinion? In the Rankings of the top hospitals, only 3 or 4 are in the "Red States".

Great Universities that produce just as much talent as the Ivy league (Duke, Emory, UT Austin, Vanderbilt, U North Carolina, Rice, Texas A&M etc.)
Sorry, but those are great schools in their own right, but certainly not in the class of Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cal Tech and The University of Pennsylvania. I had no chance at getting into any of those schools I just listed (including Penn, where I'm a legacy), but the ones you listed all offered me a scholarship except for Vandy.

Quote:
Economic centers that are much larger and important than half of those on your list (Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Miami)
Sorry, but LA, Seattle, Chicago, Washington DC, Boston, NYC and The San Francisco Bay Area produce FAR more wealth than those cities.

Quote:
Many large companies (Home Depot, Coca Cola, Whole Foods, Shell, Wachovia, Dillards etc.)
I'll give you Coca Cola, but I don't want that junk poisoning me anyway and I haven't drank a soda since 1996.
I didn't say that ALL the best companies are based in the blue states, but that more of them are there than in the red states.
Wachovia went out of business and was saved by Wells Fargo...a company from San Francisco.
Shell is NOT an American company (It's called "The Royal Dutch Shell Company") and is headquartered in The Netherlands, the place with legal marijuana, euthanasia and prostitution.
Dillards, really? Wow...I think I'd prefer Nordstroms, Bloomingdales, Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.

Most of the beef and chickens, can easily produce dairy and all other crops as we already do as well as pecans and oranges
Do you have any clue how much of this nation's food comes from California farms? But yeah, you could have all the mass produced junk, we'll take all the fruits (Apples, California Oranges, strawberries, pineapples, avocados, tomatoes, wine, grapes)

Quote:
Friendlier and less stressed out populace
Yeah, cause the stoners of the laid back parts of Calfornia, Wisconsin, Vermont, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii are so stressed out. I'll admit that Atlanta drivers are among the friendliest in the world, but certainly not the people of Houston or Dallas. And how friendly are people to you if you're not just like them in the south? Not too much. Ask Matthew Shepard...

Quote:
Most of the major International ports (Houston, New Orleans, Tampa, Savannah, Beaumont)
You'd take New Orleans? I've lived there and it's as far from Conservative as they come...
According to the BTS, the largest ports are mostly NOT in the red states (http://www.bts.gov/publications/americas_freight_transportation_gateways/introduction_and_overview/html/figure_01.html - broken link).

Quote:
Busiest airports (Atlanta and DFW)
LAX, SFO, Chicago O'Hare, Washington Dulles, Kennedy, LaGuardia, Logan, Newark. Yeah...


Quote:
Yeah, I think we will be just fine without all the welfare, tax and labor union culture that you guys have. Bye Danny.
Don't ever call me Danny.

Point out which of Obama's appointees are on the same level of evilness as Karl Rove and Dick Cheney. I dare you.

You mean someone comparable to Elliott Abrams and Dick Feith? Impossible.

1. Florida oranges beat California oranges any day of the week!
2. Shell might not be in the South, but Exxon-Mobil is.
3.Atlanta is the busiet passenger airport.... Memphis is the busiest overall airport (FedEx)... both in the South
5. The Matthew Shepard incident was Wyoming, not the South.

That will be hard to do since his initial appointees have to decline for some other illegal activity but give it time.

You sound more like the spouse who maxed out the credit cards and now want out because the bread winner can't support you at the level that you previously enjoyed.
