OK, fair enough even though I wish you stated that in your first post on this issue. While I don't disagree with your conclusion that all states are basically purple I think you misundersand the whole blue state/red state idea - it's simply a matter of terminology and convenience. It's not used to indicate or imply that everybody in a state always votes republican or democrat. It's a convenient way to describe a state where a majority of residents tend to vote republican or democrat most of the time, but certainly not everyone and not always.
Hmm, you (reactionaries) usually accuse university professors, faculty, scientists, Mainstream Media of being liberal, then in the same breath you accuse liberals of being ignorant. Do you think that makes logical sense?
and today's self-righteous, finger-pointing liberal will become, well...tomorrow's self-righteous, finger-pointing liberal. some things NEVER change.
Your problem is that you fail to understand that "education" does not necessarily amount to knowledge, understanding, and the ability to think rationally about many issues. For example, Noam Chomsky is a professor, and he's a total moonbat. I suppose you kowtow to anything a professor, scientist, or reporter tells you, so I pity you.
Where have you been? The Supreme Court is described as "liberal" in the neo-commie guide-book to politics 101. I tend to agree with the handbook. For a bunch of Judges who profess to be have constructionist views, they liberally make up laws to favor their political master. Quote from Batterup: Taking a look at the BLUE/RED map actually shows where the "THINK TANKS" are. Remember this: The Blues actually won in 2000 if not for Florida gov calling out the State troopers to stop the Dems from voting with the use of roadblocks, names magically removed from polling lists, etc, etc and the Supreme court being packed with right wing puppet followers. Anyone care to discuss the election in 2004 and who stole Ohio? How many would have voted for BUSH if the tax cuts never happened? How many even realize there are other things to worry about than tax cuts? A lot of RED in that map, BUT, it is not a true picture of how evenly divided the country as a whole is. Be careful out there, one out of two will be from the other side of the aisle.................. [/B][/QUOTE]
These are your average Red State maggots. The scum of the earth: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060221/ap_on_re_us/funeral_motorcyclists FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. - Phelps believes American deaths in Iraq are divine punishment for a country that he says harbors homosexuals. His protesters carry signs thanking God for so-called IEDs â explosives that are a major killer of soldiers in Iraq. At least 14 states are considering laws aimed at the funeral protesters, who at a recent memorial service at Fort Campbell wrapped themselves in upside-down American flags. They danced and sang impromptu songs peppered with vulgarities that condemned homosexuals and soldiers. Shirley Phelps-Roper, a daughter of Fred Phelps and an attorney for the Topeka, Kan.-based church, said neither state laws nor the Patriot Guard can silence their message that God killed the soldiers because they fought for a country that embraces homosexuals. "The scriptures are crystal clear that when God sets out to punish a nation, it is with the sword. An IED is just a broken-up sword," Phelps-Roper said. "Since that is his weapon of choice, our forum of choice has got to be a dead soldier's funeral." The church, Westboro Baptist Church, is not affiliated with a larger denomination and is made up mostly of Fred Phelps' extended family members. During the 1990s, church members were known mostly for picketing the funerals of AIDS Quote from drsteph: :chuckle: That's a nice sentiment, but not for the reason you think. Before you pat yourself on the back, consider this. The reds will have plenty of opportunity to explain to their grandkids why they were seduced by bush et al. Because they include plenty of christian right wing fundamentalists, for whom having babies is a battle cry. And remember- they don't abort. The blues will not have the opportunity to explain to their grandkids why they couldn't stop the reds, because the blues didn't have kids. Yup, they aborted, they gay married, or they decided to live a lifestyle without children because they wouldn't conform to traditional family units (since they didn't have to), or they decided that "one was enough" to cut down on the population boom. Unfortunately, the world kept right on rolling. So now, there are more of the reds than the blues, and that trend is likely to continue. You may not feel that reds should be allowed to reproduce, but blues, when allowed, didn't reproduce. Frankly, it would probably be better for the pubic good if the blues decided to have more kids and incite a bit more of a public debate. Remember - demographics is destiny.

Con, you're not suggesting that most Red State citizens agree with what this so-called "church" is saying, do you?
