What state epitomizes the "freeper" mentality? |
|
For me, I think it's So. Dakota. Driving through that state on I-90 there are about a gazillion anti-abortion billboards and billboards accusing you of being a "baby-killer" etc.

21. Maryland is south of the Mason-Dixon line. Hardly a freeper state. |
|
Among the bluest of the blues (for now, anyway).

If SD can vote out the Senate minority leader, they are obviously up there for freeper-ness.

18. I whole heartedly concur... |

... Our economy is falling apart because it can't keep it's college grads. Schools are shitty because the rednecks here are adamantly opposed to raising taxes no matter how dire the problem. Everyone drives a gas guzzler. And the racism is insane.
I read a article the other day that the newly elected republicans are pushing a bill that will increase funding to suburban schools by taking away money from poorer urban schools. The reason they cite is because of increased enrollments in suburban schools, but the real reason is white flight from urban schools.

9. Nevada - hypocrisy is it's middle name |
|
so to speak.
Brothels, 24 hour drinking, gambling, "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."
Vegas is in the blue part of the state (Clark County, specifically) and kicks in the majority of state monies. The rest of the state goes red for what, values? Money? Mining? Ranchers?
Blech.

28. Well, if you define Freeper as mindless robot sheep |
|
who doesn't think for him/herself (its self?) and drives a huge gas guzzler with Freeper bumperstickers on them, then I've seen them in Ct (don't forget the Grand Wizard- or whatever he is- of the KKK is in Ct) and I've seen them in Pa and in Ma. I've also seen them in Fl and Ga and SC.
I just refuse to admit that I live in the most Freeper-like state. I'm clinging to sanity by a thread here, please don't take it away from me!!! :evilfrown:

31. Kentucky flat out doesn't exist |

Edited on Wed Dec-15-04 10:52 PM by faithfull
I've looked, Im from Tennessee, and Ive been to 45 states, and one of the missing 5 is "supposedly" :tinfoilhat: right next to Tennessee - KENTUCKY!!!
You never see lisence plates from there, you never hear of anything happening there (except that horse race which is actually in romania) you dont know of anybody there. It doesnt exist!
Maybe our states are counted by Diebold...cause i keep getting just 49! (and puerto rico)

Home to the American Family Association & America Family Radio Home to Focus on The Family Home to where 30% blacks support the confederate battleflag on their state flag. Home to Haley Barbor, Trent Lott, and Ross Barrnett Home to Antebellum homes and civil war battlefields, where peope still go to lay wreaths on a regular basis. Home to the state that does not recongize Martin Luther King's birthday -- but does recongize Robert E. Lee's.
This is of course, my home State of Mississippi.
I will give Alabama close seconds, but they have a much better school ssytem, B'ham, Huntsville, and the coast.
I will also give Indiana props for being the most overtly racist state I have ever been in (while I lived there).
