That said, I believe most if not all Americans have more in common with a by and large family values population with by and large conservative values of the Christian kind as opposed to the psychopathic stone-or-behead-those-who-aren't-like-you Middle Eastern types.
I didn't come up with this theory. I've only read about it and am passing it along for your interest. Have no clue if it's true. I'd be interested to know what other Freepers think of this.
Without a doubt, there are opportunistic immigrants (and liberals and other eeevil "theys") which deserve American scorn, even anger. But hey, I hear "they" (on a polite day) refer to "us" who live in the typically red states as "the bubba vote".
Wouldn't "they" be surprised to learn that, on the first day of early voting, I stood in line with ALL types of people: college students, elderly people, Black men and women, Asians, Hispanics, a couple of disabled people, a few folks of possibly Middle Eastern heritage, a man wearing a yamaka. Some looked bored; others scanned their polling instruction sheets eagerly. Some wore expensive clothes; others looked poor. One older couple looked like farmer/rancher types. For all I know, someone standing in line with me might have been gay. I didn't ask. Maybe a woman a few people down the line had an abortion. That guy standing next to her might have entered the country illegally. Was that woman holding her baby a single mom? I didn't ask. I also didn't take a poll to see which were atheists, Muslims, Catholics, Protestants, or Buddhists, tax cheats, high school drop-outs, CEOs, small business owners, unemployed, etc.
I would not presume to know how any of them voted, based on their appearance, because those people sure didn't look like "the bubba vote" to me. So, could "they" be wrong to stereotype "us" in the red states that way?
I know I'm unlikely to change any minds about painting whole groups of people with broad brushes. But it does seem to me, if the statistics are accurate, that stereotype-based hostility is an ineffective means of positively influencing their votes.
