Red States are Stupid...

My parents are happy to tell me, any chance I give them, that the red states just aren't as intelligent as the blue states.  Since everything that liberals say is, by definition, true, I was dumbfounded to see the top 1000 high schools in the nation.

Of the top 10, 8 are in red states.  Of the top 20, 16 are in red states.

I demand a recount.

Yeah, but take a look at the schools. Most of them are magnet schools, not traditional community high schools. There are more telling ways of rating the educational quality of a state than this particular report

Why can't these states put as much effort into educating their children, as they do into educating their magnets? Magnets aren't even people!

And magnets are highly polarized, too.

I demand another recount.

First, family values. In 2001, there were 572,000 divorces in red states and 340,000 blue states. Eleven red states had higher divorce rates than any of the blue states.

And how about traditional morality? Red state folks sleep around — especially out in the Rockies, where they are likely to have had three or more sexual partners in the previous year. Residents of blue New England are least likely to have had more than one during the same period.

Want sexual abstinence? You are more likely to find it in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey — least likely in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. And it follows that red states have more sexually transmitted diseases.

Violent crime? Red states again. Doing something about it? Blue states. In 2000, 37 states had ways to address domestic violence. The 13 states that didn’t — all red.

Drugs and alcohol? Need we say it? Red states lead the way, especially among 12- to 17-year-olds. And it does not seem to be getting better. Between 1999 and 2003, meth lab seizures in red states were up 38 percent, but down by 38 percent in the blue states — and not because blue state enforcement is lax.
