Let's be fair. There are hellholes in the United States that are not fit for healthy human habitation. Without exception these hellholes are cities and areas under long-standing Democrat domination. The nasty creatures that haunt these hellholes voted for Obama by better than a 70-30 margin. These 4th-world areas and cities are cancer lesions and pus-pockets on the American body politic.

Outside these areas, America--especially its flyover country-- offers the safest and best quality of life to be found anywhere in the world.

You got that right. I love Michigan despite our blue state status. The status can change pretty quickly but it won't change if I run away.

I love my home in my tiny town of 150 people. We don't have a gas station, train station, party store or grocery store and I don't feel like I'm suffering. We don't have city water, sewers or gas lines yet we still live happy. I can't remember the last time I took the key out of the ignition of my truck and lost the key to my front door a decade ago.

Michigan is a far more conservative state than most people realize. We were earlier than most with concealed carry and are good on the open carry front as well. We've banned gay marriage and affirmative action. Of our 83 counties, only between 8 and 10 of those are consistently democrat voting counties. We actually rank 6th in the per capita number of union workers. In the coming election we're likely to send two conservatives to the US house of representatives and we're likely to put a republican back in the governor's mansion. (the majority of Michigan's governors have been republican)
