Even though obama and the democrats are extremely anti-american and evil in every way some states are still strongly democrat- how do you explain this?

Ray and Ms. V, you completely misunderstood that map. Are you familiar with the Tax Foundation? If you want to understand taxation it's a great thing to be familiar with. Land mass is not population. All that red stuff is comparatively empty. People live where it is blue. The majority of people in the US live in urban areas (that includes suburbs which wouldn't exist without cities). Eastern and Western high income urban states are DONOR states. They support taker states like Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Arizona and Montana, http://www.taxfoundation.org/... New Jersey residents only got 55 cents back in federal spending for every dollar they paid in federal taxes. It's called "Red State Welfare". In addition, blue states have lower percentages of the population living below the poverty line. The 'average' resident of a blue state is more educated than the average resident in a red state. Blue states have lower rates of teen pregnancy, suicide and firearm deaths. However, there is less binge drinking in red states. http://godlesspaladin.com/201... If that wasn't enough, liberals average more years of education, have higher IQs and have larger anterior cingulate cortexes. That's the part of the brain that processes complexity. Conservatives have larger amygdalas, a more primitive area of the brain that creates and processes emotions, especially fear.
