Red State Values?! What are red state values?

[bermudat]

I was reading in Parade magazine where this woman said she had red state values? What are those? Maxing out your credit cards and leaving the bill for your descendents? Giving lip service to the sacredness of marriage while having higher divorce rates than the blue states? Anyone else think of any more?

1. God, Guns, and Gays?...

and a healthy dose of bigotry.

2. Red State Values...

3. A wife that can take a punch and keep her mouth shut.

Worship of the rich. Placing blame squarely on the victim.

4. I think it's something like this >>>>

Jesus holding a gun and throwing a Molatov cocktail at an abortion clinic while spitting and kicking a homosexual.




Something like that.

5. And don't forget.. a lot of the anti-gay Republicans...

..are the ones who are later found out to be GAY kiddy-diddlers.

In reality, there is no such thing as "RED STATE VALUES"

8. Hate + Violence = "Red State Values." n/t

6. Picketting abortion clinics

While helping your own teenaged daughter have a safe abortion ( quietly called a D&C for menstrual irregularity)...

7. Putting more stock in religion than actual science? -eom

9. Just keep your eye out because I am from a red state that used

to be blue. We have had Republican Senators for a long time, mixed in with dems, but we have a Pug guv now who has probably (I hope) nixed it for the pugs for a while. Ernie Fletcher, the only governor to almost get shot down on the way to the last Bush inauguration, has an even lower approval rating than Bush/Cheney. In 2000 the democratic party just folded its tent; it did not work hard for Gore, even though he was from the state just below Kentucky. So we, the citizens. didn't wait for the party; we had special groups out standing on the street corners, etc. for Kerry. We, not the Democratic Party, worked very hard for Kerry. However, you are right to some extent when you label this red state with the good old anti-gay stereotype. The democrat for the Senate running against Bunning began with 25% approval rating. He ran a strong campaign and not only caught up, but went slightly ahead. McConnell, our other senator, (heinous is the only word for this jackass elephant) popped down and managed to get an anti-gay marriage proposal on the ballot and began to smear the good doc as a gay because he is not married. They showed a picture of the dem's house in an ad, a beautiful Southern mansion; the only kicker is that it was not his house. The doc's house is a modest one story. He is a state senator and a doctor in the mountains, who treats many for free.

10. wow - thank you for that post... hadn't heard about

that little play in the senate race. Just north of you we watched our congressman get swifted by a hidden group (founded and filed - intentionally - too late for disclosure of who was behind it until well after the election) called "Hoosiers for Truth" which ran a quick and dirty billboard and radio ad campaign that was deceptive - and in the very last days of the election - it stunned the sitting congressman (Baron Hill) such that he couldn't respond quickly enough (remember, we were talking days before the election) - and a trucking business owner who is a worthless DeLay/Bush mold repub - won by a very, very narrow margin.

While My Man Mitch is a tad more popular than Fletcher, his numbers keep decreasing as he tries to outsource the state and give it to corporations and give the taxpayers the bills.

13. I read the same article, and I too say WTF?

I live in a red state, and I still don't know what she's talking about ... pro-life politics? corrupt Repubs? TABOR? "intelligent design"? school prayer? Whatever it means, it can't be good. :P

14. Don't you know?

Red state values are what the anti-choice, pro-war "Fighting Dems" are all about. Barf.
