America is a conservative nation. Never should have a radical liberal-progressive government like the current one have come to power. least this is good news for 2012 and defeating Obama.

That last graph just kills the idea that conservatism is for the rich.

The only reason FL is “average” is due to all the liberal yankees who have come down here and decided to stay to get away from the cold, primarily in central and south FL along the coasts. From Jacksonville west, with the exception of a few counties around tallahassee, we are solid red. The majority of the peninsula is solid red as well.

Liberal yankee go home........and stay there this time.

Doesn’t take much to be conservative in Obamaland.

There are hardcore Communists and Socialists who think our government has gone too far....

Even blue states like Washington are trending more to the right.

When the census numbers came out most of the conservative parts of the state had grown by 8-18% since 2000.

The liberal cities: Seattle, Bremerton & Olympia had very limited growth hovering around 5%.

If we could run the foreigners from the northeast out of NC, that would go a long way toward returning NC to the conservative fold.

Not surprisingly, states with more conservatives are considerably more religious than liberal-leaning states.

No surprise there. Conservatives worship God; Liberals worship government.

But the much bigger, long-term danger is economic rather than political. This ideological state of affairs advantages the policy preferences of poorer, less innovative states over wealthier, more innovative, and productive ones. American politics is increasingly disconnected from its economic engine. And this deepening political divide has become perhaps the biggest bottleneck on the road to long-run prosperity.

Richard Florida, who wrote the article, is the guy who argued that cities and states needed to attract young, single, largely gay members of the "creative class" in order to grow economically.

That wasn't quite right. Such people are more associated with consumption, rather than production. Countries need children and families to carry on and prosper. They also need basic manufacturing -- the sort of activity that Richard Florida's "creative class" doesn't dirty its hand with.

Given how much Florida got wrong about the American economy it's hard to give his political analysis much credence. More here.

The Conservative States of America. Or CSA for short. Kinda has a nice ring to it.

They came to power by lying about who they are. I think and hope that enough people have wised up and realized that there is no such thing as a "conservative" Democrat. A good many of the pretenders were thrown out on Nov. 2, but there are still plenty more than need to go, including the man at the top - the biggest pretender of them all.

So, how did it happen then?

Say, that’d make a good Tagline. Oh wait...

The green map makes you wonder how the current power holders in Washington D.C. were ever elected. Keep hammering home education points, pass it on emails, make your voices heard in every venue you can. We have a lot of educating to do before November 6, 2012. I hope a conservative cable channel comes to fruition soon.

42% of people say they are conservative, 20% say they are liberal. We need to educate the 38%, the independents, to the best of our abilities.

If November 6, 2012 doesn't produce a radical return to our limited government Constitutional Republic, then maybe it will be time to water the tree of liberty again. . .

I disagree with the color of Illinois.

Take away Chicago and crook County and it would be a DARK Green too. (And we wish they could be taken away)

Any Red-Blue county by county map from Dubya's POTUS elections will show IL a sea of red away from those RAT Cesspools. CNN has the best maps (Gag. I hate to say that).
