Maybe its because we are more evolved and smarter. Have you thought about dem apples, dude? Thanks! I haven't laughed like that since the last time I read an American Spirit post. Dang if you don't have the same whacked out sense of humor it did. More evolved and smarter, eh? That's pretty much the platform Kerry tried to sell. This post is just too rich. More evolved and smarter... Talk about summing up the blue states opinions of themselves, the red states and anyone that does not agree with them. Your sentiment does a fair job of that summary. Has it ever even entered your mind that such statements, based on geographic records of voting, really are a poor basis for your theory? Has it ever entered your mind that exit polls are not the best source of election results, the results are the best resource after being properly counted, tallied and verified? Has it ever entered your mind that over 4 million more people, than people as enlightened as yourself and other snotty ass elitists of your ilk, considered, studied, thought about and chose a President based on plans, history and performance rather than a Monday morning quarterback attitude? Has it ever entered your mind that a day of camouflage rental duds and a borrowed shotgun did not impress the millions of hunters in this land? Did it ever enter your brilliant mind that a man who voted against guns every time he could, then suddenly said he believed in the Second Amendment, would be scorned and not believed by those with even half a brain, instead of loved and respected by gun owners? Your guy was fake. From his orange tan, to every lie he told every time he opened his mouth, to the fact that he did not know where he stood on any position, to his windsurfing, fake hunting, fake smiles, false endearments, he sucked. He still sucks and he always will. If that is where the blue states loyalties will lie in the future, our country would be better off without your and your kind. Please feel free to take your elitist brain trust, your more evolved partners and your smarter peers and go figure out someplace to live where you have even 1/4 of the benefits of the US. I wish you Godspeed and good luck in your endeavour. You may not secede with any portion of the US, because people who believe in God, the Constitution, the Bible and in each other lived and died setting up this country.

Hey! Here's another "more evolved and smarter" blue stater. Funny how he falls right into an elitist snob role so easy. BLUE-STATE BLUES Keillor: Born-agains should not have right to vote Popular radio host says Christians' citizenship is really in heaven -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: November 15, 2004 5:00 p.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Speaking in the aftermath of the presidential election, Democrat radio host Garrison Keillor says he is on a quest to take away the right of born-again Christians to vote, saying their citizenship is actually in heaven, not the United States. Keillor, host of the popular National Public Radio show "A Prairie Home Companion," made the comments during a speech at Chicago's Rockefeller Memorial Chapel and during his radio monologue the Saturday after the election. According to a transcript of the show, Keillor said, "I am now the chairman of a national campaign to pass a constitutional amendment to take the right to vote away from born-again Christians. [enthusiastic audience applause] Just a little project of mine. My feeling is that born-again people are citizens of heaven, that is where there citizenship is, [laughter] is in heaven, it's not here among us in America. ..." During the Chicago speech Nov. 3, Keillor described his reaction to the re-election of President Bush. "I am a Democrat – it's no secret. I am a museum-quality Democrat," Keillor said. "Last night I spent my time crouched in a fetal position, rolling around and moaning in the dark." According to a report in the University of Chicago's Chicago Maroon, Keillor told the audience: "If born-again Christians are allowed to vote in this country, then why not Canadians?" The speech was part of a celebration of the opening of University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital. The facility is named after Gary Comer, who donated $21 million to the building of the $130 million state-of-the-art pediatric facility, the Maroon reported. Comer is founder of the clothing company Land's End, which sponsors "A Prairie Home Companion." Though Keillor's comments about disenfranchising born-again Christians apparently was made in jest, posters on FreeRepublic.com were not amused. "Replace 'born-again Christians' with 'black people' and Keillor should get a sense of the depths of his bigotry," said on post. Said another: "[Keillor] still has a radio program? I thought that his only gig was to put people into a deep state of sleep at hospitals just prior to major surgery."
