The END of the United States = North American Union
Look, I am not going to make any assumptions about the intelligence or whatever of republicans or democrats. There are plenty of intelligent members of both groups and both have some logic backing them as well as their own intellectual figures. As well, most voters are christian so it is no surprise that most voters for republicans will be christian and it is very likely that a large number of democrat voters will be christian probably a majority there as well, however, both groups have their non-christian voters, atheists might like conservative pro-business policies or strong foreign policy depending on their beliefs. I didn't put up that map to show that "everybody" supported Bush but rather that plenty of states outside of the south voted for him, heck, there were a few states that were in the mid-eastern northern part of the state that had much larger margins favoring Bush than Texas.
To be honest, to state that Christians are stupid because of the nature of their religion is to ignore the nature of religion, it is more of a cultural thing than one of intelligence and by that token it could be said that Christians were cleverer because they were able to get great cultural control over the world and the fact that many of the great more-modern empires grew while they had Christian dominance. I tend to reject the idea that one religion is greatly smarter than another due to the influence of that religion.
Yeah like all those New England states
It's more an indicator of education than intelligence someone could be very smart but poorly educated becuse of disadvantaged upbringing but have a high polential of learning
As far as the Christian right goes all I can say is Intelegent Design
Voting is more than just supporting your polical party and towing the party line I vote for some republicains and some democrates even some independants

Rofl... I'm laughing at the guy who came up with it, not at you for mentioning it.
But seriously - the idea's already dead. Whatever school board in Pennsylvania tried to implement it got voted out to the last man the next time there were elections, and no one's even talking about it anymore.
I've been meaning to ask you lefties, though. Seperation of Church and State. How does that both encompass banning christmas trees and nativity scenes, but giving Muslims their own prayer rooms in their places of employment? Where's the equality?
They're doing the same thing in Europe, if that will comfort you at all (probably not). In the year 2000, the Swedish state and church were separated after about 1000 years together. At the same time, muslims are allowed to wear burkas on their jobs and take breaks for praying and "halal" slaughterhouses are built especially for them. The sickest political correctness. They separate the christian religion from the state but integrate the muslim religion in the state. Sick. And I'm not even religious, I just find it totally unlogical and hypocritical.

i can almost guarantee the next president won't be a republican. of course i don't like the democrates either but what can you do. thats why having a majority two party system sucks, because each sides develoupe a gang mentality twords one another. i think political party's all together should be thrown out, with the exeption of indepedent. you can vote either way you want and there's no gang mentality so there's nothing to prove to the other party. but that will never happen because the government is currupt. Also a presidents term should be 6 years at no chance at re-election, nobody can get anything done in 4 years, and then all they worry about is getting re-elected another 4 years to get done what they said they were going to do the first 4 years they were president. soooo yeah.
If Conneticut had ports of entery and counted all the goods coming into the states from other states and countries, the trade imbalance would be massive. yet the state is one of the wealthiest states in the country.
We did loose almost all our manufactoring jobs and life goes on.
You hysterical hate Bush people,love Clinton people missed out on the biggest thing Clinton did to favor imports because the national mainstream news media didn't tell you what to think about Clinton letting the railroad mergers go through.
If it was Bush who let the railroad mergers go through, you rabid hysterical liberals would have been told by your freak show news media that he was helping Wal-mart smooth out the transfer of imports from the docks to the heartland of America. But sinse it happened while Bubba Clinton was in office and the psycho hate america news media didn't tell you sheep it was bad for american workers you don't have the slightest clue how it affected the flow of imports.
Bubba Clintoon inflicked more harm on the middle class american worker than any president in history,but sinse the liberal freak show news media didn't tell the sheep what to think about what Bubba Clintoon did and how he screwed them, they haven't a clue how bad Bubba Clintoon screwed them.
Clinton is in bed with the Rockefellers who are big oil and owned Standard oil of America. Bubba Clinton let Exxon/Mobil merge back together and they fully knew that raising taxes and paying down the federal debt would make for a strong dollar and cheap oil so people would think nothing of building 4000 square foot McMansions 50 miles from their jobs and buy 10 million ford explorers and once they where hooked on fuel,the Rockefeller clan could rake in massive profits,like record setting profits,profits they never even dreamed where possable when John D. Rockefeller ran Standard Oil.
You clueless sheep have no idea that around 10% of every major company in America is owned by the blue bloods in this country and the royal families of europe & Pursia because the the news entertainment industry didn't tell you. The filthy rich of the world just have fronts like State Street Corp of Boston and Barclays of London invest their money and it's just a giant monopoly game for the filthy rich who sit around plotting how to scam the peasants over and over as them stupid peasants sit around argung about Bush/Clinton who are both just puppets working for the super wealthy of the world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Company
America is just a British company formed when the Virginia Company Merged with the Plymouth Company and this so called country is just a well run plantation for the filthy rich who figured out how to make the peasants think they ran their own plantation.The blue bloods let the sheep vote for their boss and tell them ok you sheep want a choice,pick either this guy or that guy,don't really matter to them as long as we pick one of their guys.
As the peasants eat up the B/S the blue bloods are having their next 300' $100 million yatch built and laughing their butts off on some private tropical island with 100's of healthy young servants who will whore themselves out to please their masters.I would let the Queen of England have her way with me if the price was right,even Janet Reno
and after a year of cleaning their toilets return home filthy rich by peasnat standards and never tell anyone what I did,just claim working on the island for the rich pays real good so I wouldn't suddenly vanish from the face of the earth
or die in a strange accident or fire.
Yeah like all those New England states

The new england states go liberal based mostly on the urban vote
education
it's run by white people an it's just human nature not to want to be pushed around by other groups of people, so the minorities refuse to cooperate in their own education because doing so would be submitting to the white man.
A black man started a charter school in my town and emloyee's 100% white woman teachers,the kids state mastery test scores exceeded the wealthiest town in the state. It's all a head game and they will do what their teacher tells them to do because she is being told by a black man to do it. So it isn't some white woman pushing them around,she is doing what the black man told her to do and the kids know who is running the school and they don't want to be reported to the black man as not doing their home work and have to answer to him and he will get their parents involved and unlike when the black parent walks into the white school,the parent isn't blamed by the white administrator for being the problem,the parent is shown respect by the black administrator and they tag team the crap out of the kid to make him/her get with the program.
It don't work in the public schools even if some uncle tom is put in charge,the kids see right through it and know he put on knee pads and kissed whities butt to get to where he is at.They won't respect an uncle tom.
The only way to correct the schools is to turn the funding over to the people who's children attend the school and let them vote in their own board of education just for their school and let their BOE hire their principal who hires the teachers,this central school office in some high rise just don't work because it removes all control over the school from the people who use the school and turns it over to a bunch who could care less and are just there for a paycheck.
The New England states go liberal because of the white vote, actually. The southern states contain most of the minorities in this country today. Their typically-left leaning votes, however, are masked at the electoral college stage by the just lightly larger and heavily Republican white majorities in those states.
Democrats should be concerned about the South. Republicans are becoming more and more popular with blacks, and let's face it, Bush is the improverished Mexican's best friend (and he let's them KNOW this, infuriating ultraconservatives).
The old, "white" states are the states that vote Democratic consistently, regardless of minorities present.
In CT. the election results are mostly cities to democraps and the burbs to the republicans.
The cities have huge populations of minority people.
I could go look up the elction results and crunch down the numbers of minorities and probably prove if they were removed from the picture and state would be Bush country
But it's not worth the effort to make a point on the internet ![]()
