I came across this image today on College Humor. It less funny than sad; besides that the four issues noted are quite typical of red states. It is, however a good reminder that parts of the country don't see eye to eye with the blue states I run in (NY and CA). What's concerning to me is not the disagreement - everyone is entitled to their opinion on anything - instead what makes me cringe is the flagrant slander. Quotes around "Hussein" which is in red so as to stand out and Barack wearing a turbin are clear intentions of using Arab references to portray Obama negatively. This is just a sad attempt of hiding a racist insult by pretending its a political message just because you mention some policy standings (out of context, mind you). Obama isn't even Arab or Muslim or anything related so their racism is also incorrect. And we all know- two wrongs never make a right.

They say "More abortions and same sex marriages" like its a bad thing. I mean, yeah no one really wants to have to get an abortion, but we would be a lot better off if people that can't support a child had abortions.
yea... abortions, same sex marriages and more gun control! OH MY!
