"Joe Biden would never get up in front of a crowd and suggest that the citizens of Manhattan are morally superior to the residents of Possum Gulch, Ark."

Does this author already forget that Obama did precisely that, i.e., got up before a crowd in San Francisco and put down the "bitter" residents of small towns for "clinging to guns and religion"?

But the author has a point - TODAY's small towns are not at all immune from all sorts of vice. But perhaps one of the reasons for this is that they've been exposed to and corrupted by the decadent popular culture created by urban liberals.

But perhaps one of the reasons for this is that they've been exposed to and corrupted by the decadent popular culture created by urban liberals.

I'm sure that's an issue to some extent, especially when it comes to problems like theft. However, my grandparents had plenty to say about vice in small towns back in the "good old days." They were in the medical profession and saw it all.
