Getting really tired of the condescension shown by individuals such as yourself over this values nonsense. This may come as a surprise to you, but many of us in the NYC area are quite confortable with the core values that we live our lives within. It always amazes me the condescension shown by people who obviously think they are better or more moral than someone else.

It’s not a person-to-person value judgment, it’s a region-to-region value judgment.
Such regional value judgments are perfectly valid, and have numerous examples in Scripture.
There are, and always have been, a few righteous living among many wicked, and vice versa.
Oh, no, as we understand it NYers NEED their values in order to survive up there.. jungle rules.
Not enough time to poll NH now to gauge if Cruz’ IA MO rustles up whatever Reagan Democrats that may still exist there.
If you are here on FR, I assume you are probably a conservative. But NYC is clearly not a conservative area, and you, my friend, are in the minority.
I am a conservative, even though I live in the Boston area. There are a lot of conservatives here. Yet I am never offended when people justifiably talk about the overwhelmingly commie values of Massachusetts, because they are correct. Massachusetts has a horribly leftist progressive population, and there's no point in denying it.
New York City elected a famously commie mayor, didn't they? The mayor before that was an authoritarian leftist.
The governor of New York has publicly told conservatives to leave the state!
When conservatives criticize New York values, it's very clear what they mean, and that NYC deserves the criticism.
Acknowledging that doesn't make you a bad person. But denying that criticism does call one's powers of observation one's grasp on reality into question.
Ha! you should trying living in the South. This is Hypocrisy central! I never understood the meaning of “holier than thou” til I moved here.

Northeast people leave your area, they come to Texas to get away from taxes, values, etc. of the northeast. They are so “smart” they come here and want to “change” us to their NE values. Everyone knows that Texans are bumpkins and we need to wise up and change Texas so that NE-ers get their way. New Yorkers wear their “I (heart) NY” Tee Shirts. They should be embarrassed they were ever in NY. I am getting tired of the condescension from norteastern folks, too.
