I'm a conservative.

I'm bothered by the comments because I view the United States -- every single one of them -- as my home. I have memories of people I've met and places I've seen in nearly every state. And not to get too poetic, but I can still taste the food of these places, hear the different accents.
This stuff is very real to me.

No, I'm not saying that red states are like bad neighborhoods. I'm saying that everyplace has its own bad neighborhoods, the towns of red states, included.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
