Would the nation be better off if the south would go away?

146. Nice try!

Of course there are issues with racism, homophobia, sexism, wage disparity, inequality etc. in all parts of the country. But when it comes to political discourse and voting patterns, to say these elements (as well as many more) don't dominate the south more than other regions of the country is to DENY REALITY.

When the GOP saw the Southern Presidential success of George Wallace in the 1968 Presidential election, they decided to move the party in the direction of the Wallace supporters. GOP operatives called it "The Southern Strategy." Does it work in the North. YES. Does it work in the MidWest. YES. Does it work in California. YES. But there is a reason it is called the "The Southern Strategy" and not the "Boston Strategy" or the "California Strategy."

Arguments like what you stated in your post represent a "red herring." And in my experience they are made by individuals who don't really wish to engage in the blatant reality staring us all in the face with regard to this issue.



Question.

On a per capita basis... do more people who believe Obama is a socialist muslim live in Alabama or Los Angeles County? (See my point?)
