Editor:
Health index statistics reveal
that the following states are the
10 most healthy in America, in
order: Vermont, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Maine,
Iowa, Utah, Hawaii, Nebraska
and Connecticut. Least healthy:
Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina,
Florida, Texas, Oklahoma,
Nevada, New Mexico, Mississippi
and, worst of all, Louisiana.
Almost all of the 10 healthy states
are blue (liberal) states. The 10 least
healthy states are red (conservative)
states and two purple (swing).
Take note that the No. 1 and No.
3 healthiest states in America,
have the most socialized (gasp!)
health care systems in the country?
Red, conservative, states fail across
the board. They are the poorest,
file the most bankruptcies, have
highest divorce rates, have highest
teen pregnancies, have highest illiteracy,
have highest occupational
accidents, have the highest violent
crime rates… illegitimacy… and the
list goes on. If that doesn’t give you
pause- make you think and rethink
again, then your mind is dead closed
and you have no business voting.
Red states are Donee (welfare)
states. Donee states are those who
get more in federal aid than they
pay into the federal government.
Donor states pay more in taxes than
they receive.
In other words, the blue
states keep the red states alive.
That shows me how little the conservative
parties care about the
American citizen.
And, of course, they have some
deep, dark-ages-rooted bizarre hate
for us females. Like we’re subhuman
and therefore undeserving of
full inalienable rights.
We bleed, they don’t. That
stumped men until only just recently.
Portland, Oregon by the way, ranks
ninth (out of 75) in the 2010 America’s
Most Literate Cities. Portland
is blue.
