"Redvilles" v "Progress" Cities

Since the inception of this blog, I have preached the word about the quality of life in our "Red" (conservative) areas v the quality of life in our "Blue" (progressive) areas.

Below is a map of the 2012 election results by county.

As you know, Obama won handily against Romney. Yet, when you look electoral map by county, you can see that most of the country is red except for our large urban areas.

I've been at this blog for 8 years now. And in all this time, not one liberal has been able to refute this assertion on my part. In every single quality of life measure (unemployment, crime, schools, cost of government, etc.), the red areas are better. Really, it's not even close.

There's one quality of life measure that I have failed to consider, income inequality.

Guess what, the red areas reign supreme on that one as well........................

There’s just one problem: the districts where Democrats have the best shot to win Republican-held seats show some of the smallest gaps between rich and poor in the U.S., an indication of just how hard it will be for their message to take hold with voters.

Of the 100 congressional districts ranked as having the greatest gap between rich and poor, not one is held by a Republican whose seat is considered up for grabs this November, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Again, how does a liberal with any conscience see the evidence right in front of them and believe that liberal policies work?

I guess it's the same blind faith that has them believe in the global warming/climate change/chaos.

Maybe if these "progressives" understood this concept, they would understand why conservatives are fighting so hard to keep their safe, clean and productive enclaves from turning into Detroit.

What a genius

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a response to the liberals demands for an increased minimum wage.

So, for a people who like to portray themselves as Mensa members when they compare themselves to conservatives, they seem to lack an understanding of the law of supple and demand.

So let's do a refresher for all these "progressive" liberal arts majors.

See when the price of something goes up, demand for the product goes down. So when artificially increase the price of labor, employers will seek alternatives to the price increase.

But hey, I must be a honking Nostradamus, for seeing into the future and what?

 

…job prospects in Europe for those so inclined to work in the fast food industry are looking pretty grim right about now. That’s because the fast food giant is poised to add touchscreen kiosks in more than 7,000 of its restaurants in Europe in effort to replace actual, human cashiers.

Who would have thunk it?

Life in "Progress" City - Indianapolis edition

In typical "progressive" fashion, the response to this video isn't to simply fix the potholes, but to use city resources to arrest the dissenter and still not fix the potholes.
