Mason, not to complain about your graphs or anything... but shouldn't Communists be RED? I mean, don't they even call them "the Reds"? A new color combination perhaps? And are you insinuating that 'middle of the roads' are purple? Purple seems a bit regal or flamboyant in some way. Shouldn't neutrals be more of a beige or mauvey-gray? Just thinking out loud.. err... (you know.. typing sounds)

why are nazis conservatives?

I love Eve!

they aren't. They just fall on that side of the scale. If you read all I wrote, you would notice I said that most all other parties don't agree with the extremists. They just have really fanatical ideals that if cut down to more everyday, normal beliefs, would fall under conservative ideals. Same with Communists and Liberals. I'm not making this stuff up, its just facts.

Oh, and Chopper, don't be a dope. The color of the map has nothing to do with it. I could easily get a map and color it how I want to represent all the countries in the world that held beliefs I don't share in blue or red.

well, I had planned on doing it black/white, but again, someone was bound to play the racist card. Anyways, the color doesn't have anything to do with it, I could have just as easily picked yellow and cyan or any other combo, but red and blue are base colors, so walah. there you have it.

AHHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I ever get my hands on you---- I
'm gonna kiss you right on the LIPS!!!!!!
HAHAHAAH!!!!!!!!! Thanks for that Chop, freaking HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad someone here is old enough to get it.

The color of those maps has everything to do with it. Those are "real maps". I didn't make up the coloring involved. They are true representations of the states that voted Bush and their similarity to the same regions and states that were pro-slavery. The majority of people living in those regions today have patterned the same racist beliefs and ideals that their slave-owning ancestors had.

And which party do those racist ideals and beliefs coincide with?

Answer: REPUBLICAN

only in redneck towns, maybe. Considering I live in Texas, I know what I'm talking about. If there is any majority racism down here, its not against black people, it's against illegal immigrants. (And it's not really even racism, its just people getting really impatient with the unstopping flow of illegal immigrants into the country. ) Otherwise, most white black and hispanic groups get along just as well as any other state. Anyways, We don't have slaves now, and that was a long time ago. I'm from California, anyways.

So Mason, what do you think the correlation is between those two maps. Are you saying it's just coincidence?

Eve is a goddess

No, I'm saying that it just depends on who the people are voting for. So, yes, it is a really dumb observation to basically say that conservatives are all racist, pro-slavery rednecks.

lets go by county instead of state, and woah! would you look at that.
All those people must support slavery because they voted Republican!


What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't have anything to do with slavery at all, thats about as frankly as I can say it. It's a stupid connection. If there was a really, really bad Republican candidate, and the Democratic candidate was the lesser of two evils, I'm sure that the results would be quite different.

labels, labels, labels.......
somehow the older I get the more I realise all polititions are are assholes.
you just gotta vote for the one who you think is gonna fuck you the least......
if you dont like your options......shut the hell up and run for office. I also know that the people who bitch the loudest either dont know what the hell they are talking about or dont vote at all! I love a good discussion though ...keep it going!
BTW I am a staunch conservative with a true belief in hard work should be rewarded.
so like I said If you dont like what your options are .......get off your ass and make a difference! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR FUTURE ENDEVORS!!!!!

exactly! isn't it the truth? well said.
