How so? You’re making a blanket statement based on your own prejudices and in the process displaying your intellectual shoe size.
New Jersey gave legions of it’s sons from the Revolution, The Civil War, WW1(my grandfather barely survived that) to WW2(uncles of mine barely survived that too as did my father-in-law) so think before you go bad mouthing your fellow American from any point on the compass.
How’s things? There are problems here, but few places in this country offer mountains, beaches, and farms so close together.
You make a good point.
But here on Free Republic, liberal states are constantly criticized here. Nobody is thinking about the history of how many Native sons of any state fought in wars or any of that.
On Free Republic, people are simply thinking of the liberal politics of many states today, not any issues about the history of that state.
Were your ‘legions’ theme transfixed on todays NJ population you’d have a different set of Senators and Congressmen. As it is those today’s legions of like minded citizens are outnumbered by a population that bears no resemblance.
