Well, I don't think the America of today is the America of yesteryear. We've got just too many educated people roaming around. If you look at America's political map, what you'll see is that the urban areas tend to be more liberal than rural areas. Rural areas=hickville. Full of uneducated folks. There is more to do besides basic education, you know. People around the suburbs tend to be liberal, but of course there are exceptions everywhere. Washington, DC has the highest number of college graduates in the United States, and it is very blue and liberal. 90% voted for Kerry. Liberals are more socialists and what not. I'm personally a libertarian, if you wanna know.
