Are Blue States Smarter than Red States?

Yep, the democrats have it right. Republicans are dumb and democrats are smart. So democrats are no longer happy trying to divide the country between the rich and the poor, but now wish to divide us between the dumb and the smart? So much for Edward's advocating one America, huh?

Just shows it takes idiots on both sides of the aisle to keep things on an even keel. lol

I thought Obama put and end to this division?

First, the Dems weren't the ones that divided the country in the first place, and certainly not between rich and poor.

Second, I was educated in a red state and live in a red state. I also have a sense of humor.

The Dems ARE the ones who divided this country between rich and poor.

Maybe so. It's the Republicans who try to convince low-income folks that their best interest is served by a party whose economic plan is geared toward helping the rich keep more of their money.

And it is the democrats who tell the poor that the rich are the cause of all their problems.

Of course the Dems are the ones who divided the country. As soon as they start talking about redistribution of wealth, it pisses about 1/2 of the people off, and 10% get really angry. Ironically, many of the elected dems are silver spoon fed wealthy themselves, but the only income they receive other than the paltry amount they are paid is interest off their Daddy's trust fund. They aren't affected by their own policies because they have chosen to be political instead of productive.

What do conservatives mean by "redistribution of wealth"? I ask this sincerely.

Seems to me any kind of tax redistributes wealth. Does this mean you're against all taxes?

Of course. Democrats have always divided the country.

They divided the country by insisting that women should have the right to make decisions about their own bodies.

They divided the country by suggesting that homosexuals to be treated as human beings and even be given rights.

The divided the country by demanding an end to racial segregation and discrimination in jobs, housing and schools.

They divided the country by questioning the government when it sent American kids to fight in foreign countries.

They divided the country by suggesting the the dominant religion should not have a place in how government is run or how schools are taught.

Asking that poor people have housing and a chance at education and medical care is just the tip of the iceburg.

Damn those Democrats! :wink:

They divided the country by insisting a human in the womb wasn't human at all.

They divided the country by insisting on special rights for gays.

They divided the country by insisting on discrimination as long as it was reverse discrimination.

They divided the country by sabataging military action at the cost of more young men dying.

They divided the country by demanding that religious people be discriminated against.

Trying to Buy votes by penalizing success is just the tip of the iceburg.

How so? By getting back to the notion of a separation between church and state? Are religious people really hurt because their kids can't pray in school?

LOLKarzak


LOL

The the notion of a separation between church and state wasn't something to "get back to", it didn't exist as a part of the constitution.

And yes, religious people are hurt if they are not allowed to pray when they need or want to. They are supposed to have freedom of religion.

D'artagnan - That's just his Christian love shining through. Luckily, not all Christians feel this way.

I know, squinney. It's just the loudest ones get most of the attention...

Oh god please keep them form praying in my school. I may be conservative but i believe in abortion, gays should be treaterd like everyone else (though yes i still hate them), and i believe religion should be waayyyy separate from state (as in abolished). I question the Iraq war but not because of the men dying, but of the reasons. More people are being murdered than dying in Iraq. We should stop the criminals if we really want to preserve ionnocent lives.

Do I need to remind everyone that most human beings who post these threads do not engage in conversation with LOL? There's no point. If you acknowledge him he will continue to post. Please estop.

LOL, not all christians hate christianity either.

BTW, I am not christian, but I won't try to deny a person their religion, I am not a bigot.

Does "seperation of church and state" exist in the constitution?

Is it freedom OF religion or freedom FROM religion that the constitution gives.
