(I realize I am probably treading ice with that statement, but I feel that this is what the general discussion has been post-election. And for those who dont know, I voted for Bush).
Hey man, I'm not a hick.
We'll go down in history as the first society that wouldn't save itself because it wasn't cost effective ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Well, it was my dream as a child...
I just got around to reading the December 6 issue of Time magazine today. There were no less than 4 letters in the Letters section from US residents which said things to this effect. Another handful of letters there came from outside the US and generally drew the conclusion that the whole country belongs in the "hick" basket.
If people continue to play the Red State vs. Blue State game like this for another year or so, the '06 midterm election campaigns are going to be interesting.
I think there's a lot of pent-up apathy just waiting to be unleashed.

Placing "labels" on people (i.e. conservative, liberal, right, left, religious, etc)is an easy way to give explanation without going into any great detail.

I thought about posting "If you voted for Kerry, you are a baby killing communist". I thought this thread however conveys the message thats been sent in the two other threads here on Redszone.Originally Posted by Chip R

You could have contributed to a constructive debate on the first of those threads, but I guess this suits you more?Originally Posted by WVRed
I wonder if you even bothered to read the article I posted.
The conservatives that actually read the article didn't seem to have as much of a problem with it as those that just saw the word fascist and decided to start threads such as these that have no purpose except to further drag down the level of discourse on this side of the board.

You don't like labels, but yet you use them to serve your purpose.
Just because I disagree with you, does not mean I am a fascist.
You obviously do not know what fascism is, or else you wouldn't have been so loose in throwing out the term, and insulting alot of people in this country.

The name of the article I posted was the name of the thread. Congratulations on proving my point.
