j_b Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) FREEDUMB or death: The return of back-alley abortions 10 States Where Abortion Is Virtually Illegal for Some Women 5 of these states are in the top 1/4 of the freedumb ranking, 4 more in the top half, with only one in the bottom half (Louisiana at 35). You should do a road tour where you visit all these states and tell them how "dumb" they are. Love how progressives claim to care about the common man, but evince such blatant disregard for him in reality, condemning whole swaths of the country as "dumb" and obviously beneath them. If only you could have the State educate these people and put them in their place while ensuring they have a job and a "living" wage. Kind of like taking care of your pets, I suppose, eh j_bot? as if the people in these states agreed on these issues with your brand of right wing extremists. Moron! Edited June 15, 2011 by j_b Quote

Jim Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Maybe it's the wrong question... Wait. I thought we were the best at what we do in WA. Quote
JosephH Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 As far as red / blue smarts go you don't need to look any further than SAT scores by state adjusted for participation. Let's just say republicans aren't cranking out a lot of rocket scientists. Ditto for the urban / rural split which was also highlighted this week here: Out of Reach?

The "Chevy" effect. Love to bemoan the fate of the midwestern auto worker, but wouldn't be could dead driving anything that they produce, and loathe pretty much all of their tastes, habbits, and beliefs. Sorry "Progressives," - your beloved working man loves smokes, drinks, fast-food, guns, big fast cars, waving the flag, and big 'ol titties. Quote

prole Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 More on the "habbits, morals, and beliefs" of Kojak's people. Apparently, the charge of "relativism!" is only valid when those in question don't vote GOP. Quote

Sorry "Progressives," - your beloved working man loves smokes, drinks, fast-food, guns, big fast cars, waving the flag, and big 'ol titties. what BS! First, I have never said average working folks were dumb (only those pushing the freedumb drivel). In fact, I have explicitly argued the opposite (people weren't dumb) with several here. Second, don't confuse a) mass media culture that reflects the values of those selling their goods with b) popular culture. Also don't make the mistake of thinking that 20-25% of Bush dead-enders that vote are the American people. Once again you are arguing non-sequitur talking points brought up by my favorite moron here because you are more than happy to take his posting seriously Edited June 15, 2011 by j_b Quote

Rural Elders Have Highest Rates of Obesity, Diabetes, Heart Disease Mmmmm. Smart people. http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/stupid-fucking-anti-vaccine-hippies/Content?oid=8526583 "According to a definitive new study published June 3, Washington State ranks among the worst in the nation in meeting childhood vaccination targets. In the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) epidemiological newsletter, the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, our state ranges between 88 and 93 percent compliance for "required" vaccinations like polio, whooping cough, measles, hepatitis B, and chicken pox. The CDC's target is 95 percent. But even more embarrassing, our state now leads the nation in parent-signed exemptions for kindergarten enrollees at 6.2 percent, a rate that has more than doubled over the past decade. In other words, Washington is suffering an epidemic of stupid fucking Jenny McCarthy–worshiping anti-vaccine hippies. Only eight states report a lower compliance rate on the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine than Washington's 91.7 percent, while Mississippi leads the nation with 99.7 percent compliance....."

Jim Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I read this article at lunch - what a bunch of wackos! The lead local wacko is from Bainbridge and somehow he came to the unfounded conclusion that his daughter died from a vaccine. While not impossible - there's nothing to back up his assertion. Definately a weird bunch. Quote
JosephH Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Except if you looked at the actual statewide demographics of that 6.2 percent of exemptions I'd bet you'd find it was a split right down the middle between the left and right fringe. Quote
prole Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Interestingly, the revolt against vaccination can at least partially be laid at the feet of the very notions of "freedumb" under discussion here. "Why are you oppressing me with your big-government health agenda?" More antisocial libertarian chickens coming home to roost... Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Its funny how the anti Big Government health care folks seem to forget about the Big Corporate cocked lodged firmly up their ass. Of course, there really isn't any forgetting involved in reality. Quote
rob Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Yeah, the Big Corporate Cock is one step closer to personhood now, too. Thanks, ACLU! Quote
joblo7 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 overall that is a real stupid assessment of freedom. Quote
