This was exactly the point I was trying to make with my post today. The real war is the war on suburban and rural areas. All these preppers who I have been chatting with and posting besides for years now can see what is coming financially etc. but what I don't think many people understand is these calamities are not designed to hit the little blue squares nearly as hard as they are the red ones.
Ya I'm in a little blue spot next to a red spot. I had a neighbor, on disability, put his O sign right next to my drive today, if I didn't have a sense of humor, I'd be up for murder right now.....>:-(
Great post. The blue square top dead center of IL is the Rockford area (Winnebago County) surprisingly, not as blue as I would imagine as it is the 3rd largest city in IL. I am in the skinny red county immediately east (Boone). Knew the vote didn't matter as IL goes as Cook County goes. Only two Dems on our ballot were Pres and 1 county board member seat. 5 people running (4 out of 5 were republicans and you could pick 4 names total).
What surpised me is how much of Iowa is blue. I really think Romney did himself a disservice trying to go all moderate repulican at the end and not hammering the crap out of BO.
Am I seeing that correctly, the only totally red states are Utah, West (by God) Virginia, Oklahoma?
@crankyjohn.....my wife and I are planning on getting out of Kaliforniastan as soon as she retires. We're already looking at property in various other states.
@all...I'm surprised there's so much blue in Montana, of all places!
Nice to see my major city is bright red.
ReplyDeleteThat tiny, little red square in N/W Jersey is the reason why we moved there.
ReplyDeleteWow, look at all the blue on the Texas-Mexico border. Shocked!

ReplyDeleteWe must begin fighting back.
Were you to overlay that with melain levels you'd find a correlation. Also with percent of working people vs users.
ReplyDeleteYou hit the nail on the head Mr.B. Hunted down a few extra maps for posture... but it's damn well obvious.
DeleteSnatched and Posted... with the Extra Map... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Irish.
Got'em right where we want 'em, cornered in the cities! Poor bastards don't don't have a clue.
ReplyDeleteWoodburner... THANKS FOR THE HEARTY LAFF!!!

@drjim, if you can bear the summer heat here, its not a bad place, but its not like it once was.
DeleteJust saw this headline on Drudge.
ReplyDeleteCalifornia Voters Approve Higher Taxes.
See what I am talking about?
It wouldn't take much trimming to fix that picture...
