Most conservative state in America? It's Alabama, by a country mile

Monochromatic would be mostly correct for the more rural areas but the metro areas definitely have a complete color palette. As to AL, I’ve passed through three times in recent years, noticing that monochromatic could apply there, too, but only using your noted Holder scale.

Best AL attraction: Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail.

20 and Alabama is too dang hot.

Speaking as an AL native, you nailed it.

7 Yet, AL still had counties that went for the Bamster...can’t be said of OK.

Right you are. State population is about 35% black. Those counties which went for the "1" are overwhelmingly black, e.g., the "black belt" counties which were designated such for the color of the soil and then later because so many slave holders settled in the same area.

Of course, bankrupt Jefferson County has Birmingham, which is 72% black. 'nuff said.

Just remember - we in the South get three horrible months in the summer to your three horrible months in the winter. Right now, blue skies and 59 degrees with a light north wind blowing down from North Dakota.

Alaska is becoming more libertarian in the last ten years.

Anchhorage is mostly that and left where the rest of the state with its sparse population is long time conservative.

I don't know if you've ever been unlucky enough to pass through Boston in June. June in Masshole-chew-$h!ts is queer pride month. The whole city is aflutter with rainbows and homos march in the streets, the liberal intelligencia on the sidelines with their lattes and messanger bags thoughfully taking the spectacle in through their hipster-frame glasses (aka birth-control frames.)

I'll take Alabama in a heartbeat over this pathetic regressive degenerate pit of sodomy. Oh, and we just recently footed the bill for a guy who is in prison for life for the murder of his wife to have a sex-change op. Wonderful state here. Just wonderful.

I have it on good report that most Alabama lake bottoms are littered with firearms lost in boating accidents.

Right you are. State population is about 35% black

Alabama is 26.5% black, 66.8% white, and then other, per US Census stats.

>>I’ll take Alabama in a heartbeat over this pathetic regressive degenerate pit of sodomy.

And yet you still choose to live there?

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Sometimes you just don't have a choice. Its not a permanent arrangement in any event.

Hell. I hate Ohio anymore. This state should be nuked from orbit, after I’ve gotten my family out of here of course.

Aaaaack! My beloved Texas didn’t even make the top ten? Sheeesh...
