Please correct the headline. It should read 70% not 75%.
I’m not surprised... modern liberalism just doesn’t hold up to statistical scrutiny. I ran a similar analysis of state minimum wages compared to home ownership and joblessness. The higher a state’s minimum wage, the less likely its people are to have a job or own their own home.
no surprise, liberals expect someone else to take care of them, since they cant make it on their own.
their mentatlity is, hey, I’m here, and the its up to the gov’t to make it all better for me.
I look at that list and immediately get a mental picture of incompetent, corrupt, old-line Democratic party machine mayors and city councils - the kind that fixate on what brand of copy payer is purchased but who claim they can’t see the violence and squalor around them.
payer = paper (bad typing day!)
We should be running ads stating these facts.
Can we raise enough money? If not, why not?
“Move On”, the liberal group runs ads all the time, if they can raise the money, so can we.
The problem is obvious - public school teachers are underpaid.
These people aren't really "liberal" in the correct sense of the word. They are part of the Proletariat and, as such, have no ideology. They simply want "something for nothing" and will vote for whichever politicial is most likely to deliver. Their beliefs are rooted only in nothing more or less than greed and jealousy. Their greed is a desire for anything that they haven't earned but was earned by someone else. Their jealousy is rooted in the belief that someone out there just might be getting more than they are. From birth, they are trained to be something far less than self actualizing humans who can stand on their own two feet. They offer not a scintilla of moral and spiritual muscle to the nation and they pass this failing on to their "get" many times over.
There are so many other cities too that could be added to the liberal list. The conservative city list is so short. I wonder why liberals don’t win 80 percent of elections as they are so numerous. People are looking for “easy street” though liberalism.
Not moral in any human sense, but they are PC.
Yes, and their numbers are absolutely legion!
Anyone want to step up and try to present a current social problem that CAN’T be traced to a “liberal” policy?
This is a challenge, I bet no one can do it.
I can probably handle most of the refutations, I’ll have several other FReepers helping me shoot down any proposed answer to this challenge, right?
So come on, FReepers, let’s put your liberal asshats on and TRY!
Once a city turns liberals, it remains liberal. That is what Khrushchev thought about communism: once communist, always communist.
I think (perhaps) a better correlation is that cities that are run by liberals produce a dependent class that feel there is no need to be educated. Just sit there on the couch and wait for the check to come.
I seriously doubt the people who aren’t graduating even know what liberal means. They just go vote for Dems because that is what they are told to do by their parents. Gotta keep voting dem and punching babies out so the checks keep coming.

Public education in these cities should be considered a form of child-abuse.
Golllly I am so proud to be from Indianapolis. Maybe if we try we can make number one by next year. There was an article in the local paper on Sunday that pretty much explains how we attained our lofty position. Graft, corruption, incompetence, no oversight and no one takes responsibility for anything. As one long time employee was quoted as saying after the new super made comments about new policies he was instituting, “this too will pass, just like all the others before.”
