I didn't offer a defense. I wrote that it's a bogus Progressive Meme. Again, the Red State Blue State issue is dead. It's an invented Progressive Maching meme that is full of rediculous conclusions, causations, and downright twisted thinking that only those desperate to draw some kind of Enlightened vs. redneck biblethunper conclusion use it.
If one looks at the history of states over decades, the colors can and do switch. If one looks at how these colors are assigned, it's based on recent elections, which is a stupid and meaningless way to then go on to make the claims Progressives are attempting to make.
Drop it with me. I reject the comparison. The Red State/Blue State meme is nothing but a fabricated Progressive Meme that has no meaningful use. Put R Vs. D meme in the desperation column.
Good morning, ocean515. :2wave:
There is a reason that red states generally are more successful - they tend to be more fiscally responsible, and attract like-minded people. A hard-working "redneck bible-thumping" laborer is not the guy who has time to riot and burn buildings to the ground - he's too busy minding his own business, because his success or failure is up to him. It does make sense, in a sad way, that those who have to depend on government to take care of them seem to be the most dissatisfied people in this country! This is the "utopia" that some are striving for? :shock:
Job creation and business success can't be easy for companies to accomplish when they are "ruled and regulated" like they are today. We have sufficient laws on the books already to assure low pollution and clean water - now they are nitpicking to justify their own jobs! No wonder companies flee to other countries to survive - which leaves American workers jobless and on food stamps to survive! :thumbdown:
