Which is precisely why I wrote, "On the average,....the citizens of the conservative Southern states are more supportive of the United States of America than are the citizens of the liberal Northern states."

That's a bad way to put it though...misleading. I would put citizens of Indianapolis or Cincinnati against those of Atlanta and Miami and consider my odds pretty good. Likewise the rural areas here would do fine against rural areas in Louisiana or Tennessee.

"Counties" don't vote. Citizens do. "Cows in rural counties" don't vote. Citizens do. "Square acreage" doesn't vote. Citizens do.

Really Sherlock?

My statement stands: "On the average, I would say that, in the year 2004, the citizens of the conservative Southern states are more supportive of the United States of America than are the citizens of the liberal Northern states."

In order to not be misleading, I would add that "being that the northern states have a higher percentage of urban voters", but if you want to mislead, then that is your choice.

What part of "on the average" do you have trouble understanding?

The number of liberals in New York, Massachusetts and New England overwhelm the number of conservatives you may have in Indiana and Ohio.

Also, in the bombardment of Charleston, there were no Indiana or Ohio units.

"Counties" don't vote. Citizens do. "Cows in rural counties" don't vote. Citizens do. "Square acreage" doesn't vote. Citizens do.

Yes, really. It's a very elementary point but it seems to have to be pointed out to people such as you who seems to think that the square acreage of counties who go for a certain candidate somehow has more meaning than the absolute number of citizens that vote for a candidate.

Ummmm,....genius,.....an urban voter's vote carries just as much weight as a rural voters vote.

What matters is the absolute number of voters.

Yes, Northern states have more liberal, metro-sexual, left-wing, anti-American, anti-religious, U.N.-loving, Hillary-electing, America-hating voters than Southern states do and they happen to like living in cities rather than in rural areas so that they don't break a fingernail mending a fence or get their Gucci loafers muddy.
