    You know I’m a city guy. I get scared in rural country. Haha. It’s too quiet and not enough action. That being said some of the most salt of the earth give you their shirt off their back people come from rural areas. And some of the biggest a*holes you could ever meet are city folk. Stating the obvious there are good and bad everywhere.

    At the end of the day it comes down to people “liking” those that vote like them. If your particular area or “group” doesn’t vote like me then I don’t like you. It’s been stated on here it’s not your actions that matter it’s how you vote. Think about that for a minute. Frightening.

    Perhaps it is because they are the highest taxed states. Hawaii, New Jersey and Connecticut are on the top ten list of highest taxed states.

    Looking at the unemployment numbers, Tennessee is at 3.2%, Florida at 3.5, Michigan at 4.0, West Virginia went from nearly 10% in 2011 to 5.1 now, New Mexico went from nearly 10% in 2011 to 5.1 now.

    Connecticut went from nearly 10% in 2011 to 3.9%, New Jersey went from nearly 10% in 2011 to 4.1 now.

    I see no correlation.

    If you want to play that game. 9 out of the top 10 deadliest cities are controlled by Democratic mayors.

    Rural white morons are an ever shrinking minority. Get ready for a permanent ride in the back of the back, white redneck idiots.

    18 months until it becomes permanent and final. Don't like it? Go fuck yourselves and move to another country.
    If we're an "ever shrinking minority," who's gonna grow your food for you? We "Rural white morons" can easily survive without you, you cannot survive without us.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Rural white morons don't grow food. They use their SNAP card to buy Mountain Dew which they sell to carry-outs and use the money to buy meth and opiates which they sit around and abuse while rotting their teeth and brains (what little brains they had to begin with).

    33% high school dropouts...
