Liberals are dumbfounded when working class whites won't vote for "free stuff."

This is impossible.
The natural state of man is to suck on the teat of the welfare state .....

Who turned their blue states red? They did!!! This article is the most galactic collection of delusional thought I have ever read.
It is against economic interests for working people to vote against the welfare, free stuff handing out party? Hey asshats, who the hell is paying for all that free stuff!!? Could it be those same working class people who you have somehow convinced yourselves are better off being gutted by gubmint?
You morons on the left run your states straight into a ditch the size of Illinois and then wonder: 1) why people leave; 2) why corporations leave; and 3) why the people who stay finally reach the conclusion that your policies are just plain stupid.

Which is why they want unfettered immigration from the third-world.

Liberals can't understand dignity, unless it is a fellow traveler leftist minority.

People change when they notice two things:
* How incredibly expensive welfare is for non-recipients.
* How these programs never, ever improve the situation, instead they only generate more of the problems they were supposed to solve.

All of the MSM reversed the colors in their 2000 election maps. Probably because they didn’t want the Dems to be identified with the Red commies.

People want to help. But they don’t want money spent on a drug addict or someone not truly disabled.
People who can contribute to their own well-being should put in the effort.
Its not the sense there shouldn’t be a safety net; it should go to those truly in need.

Who turned my Blue state Red ? Well that a D’oh moment , OBAMA
To: Brad from Tennessee
It is not hyperbole to say that at every turn, Democrats show the most passion and resolve when they’re working to criminalize self-defense, Christianity, private property, success, raising a family, and liberty in general. In contrast, the only people who should like blueness is people who want to prey on you, hate Christ’s influence in society, worship the earth, are covetous, want to indoctrinate your children, and want to rule over you.
A lot of people don’t like that, so they try to vote for people who don’t do that.

I’m getting the feeling that a tsunami is coming for the dhimmis and the crap going on at the academy is just adding fuel to the fire.

The author gives the reasons why people are choosing conservatism over failed socialism but is too obtuse to comprehend what he, himself, just wrote.

Some people in some states (not blue New York) are waking up.
