Virginia has been hijacked!!

Virginia is not Virginia anymore. Its been hijacked by liberals and yankees. Why do they all have to come here to live? There are other places like Colorado or something. Its not really Virginia anymore when 60% of the state supports abortion rights and gay marriage. Its not really Virginia anymore when people are so rude and obnoxious they honk their horns at you when you dont push stop lights Its not really Virginia anymore when Dunkin' Donuts start outnumbering Krispy Kreme.

It sucks here. I really wanna move. CAll me a stupid redneck if you want. That doesn't insult me. Maybe us "rednecks" like a place where people are actually nice and friendly and not Liberal Marxists radicals who support a president who supports a lawless president.

So move.

This is how leftist politics spreads. Idiots vote in leftwing politicians. They raise taxes through the roof and enact anti-business policies while rewarding their Union thug supporters. Then all the jobs go away, and the idiots move to Virginia to get a new job, where they repeat their retarded pattern of voting for socialists who punish success and reward failure.

The most educated areas of the country is liberal, rural areas are conservative. It should not be a surprise that VA is overwhelmingly liberal given the amount of $$ flowing through Federal contracting here in the NOVA areas.

My suggestion, is that you take your conservative views, GED, and move somewhere you belong.

@FFVOld

I was just thinking the exact same thing about Virginia. Only difference being that it was taken over by Republican mouth-breathers.

Educated /= smart.

And VA very clearly is not "overwhelmingly" liberal.

Here is a US map of 2012 election results, showing counties, based on overall population changing the size. Note the VA area:

because we beat your slavery-loving asses in the Civil War. Confederates are fortunate you have anywhere to live. That said it the only sources of income for the state other than the liberal Northern Virginia are the defense industry and the tobacco industry.

Mostly conservatives here and elsewhere live off the government dole and complain about abortion and persons of color living off the government dole. And the reason - ignorance. All you and the rest of the white trash conservatives do is complain and hate. Never any reasonable solutions just dumb shit like school prayer and unlimited mags for firearms.

+1. Ask the people in Colorado, New Mexico and Montana. All the California libs either lost their jobs or got sick of paying 60% of their income in taxes. So they moved, either when they retire or before to find work. But they bring their same lame ass liberal votes with them. I work in DC with people from Maryland and Virginia. No one from Virginia is thinking about moving to MD, but lots of people from MD are thinking of moving to VA. They're all borderline liberals who will no doubt vote for Gerry. They are a cancer. They kill the host, then move on to the next victim state.

The top tier for California income taxes is now 52%. That is just income taxes. You still have huge taxes on everything else that moves, crawls or stands still. That is why the workers are leaving and the parasites are staying.

One factor in this is that libs don't *want* jobs. They prefer welfare and leeching off of productive society.

Thats what liberal media tells people. Its not necessarily true. Lots of conersvatives can be college educated and in the arts as well. Therea re lots of Obama supporters that dont have degrees or even college education. Lots of service workers voted for him. get real. Stop generalizing.

Like I said Virginia has been hijacked. I have nothign against slightly liberal. This is beyond that point. We are entering socialist/commie country. That is not real America. These people live in their McMansions dont give a damn about the real poor. Real Virginia was never socliast. It was founded on the principles of a true Republic. If NOVA wants to secceed from the real virginia that is fine. Its a shame, though, because it was never extremely liberal.

I understand that looking at pretty pictures with data aggregated by state constitutes the entire depth of your analysis but, sorry, a couple of percentage points among actual voters in a specific Presidential election does not make a for an "overwhelming" majority. And if you look by county and/or Congressional districts you'll see an entirely different picture.

Virginians are proud of our traditions, true, but there is a long history of progressive thinking and politics in the commonwealth going back to the House of Burgesses. If you were really FFV, you'd know that.

Just like the quote from Mr. Tocqueville. Its a shame, these "Americans" who expect their government to pamper them for their entire lives. Yet under Obummer, that's exactly what has happened.

You're an idiot and completely missed the point. Our population is not equally dispersed across counties, or even the US. So looking at a regular map is always going to look like that. This is why I showed you another map that is proportionate in size to show where the bulk of the population is on how it weighed on the election.

Obama won the popular vote and he won the electoral vote. No matter how you slice the pie, he won. Of course the midwest and all of the rural counties are red, NO ONE LIVES THERE, hence, they are very conservative in views.

Just to clarify a point, I'm actually an Ind/Libertarian. I'm not a fan of Obama, I'm just explaining the facts.

No, I didn't miss the point.

Beyond being rather poorly done infographics, they still are aggregated in a way that makes it appear that an entire state/county went "overwhelmingly" for a given candidate versus reflecting degree as in the VA chart that I posted.

They also distort the relative population/sizes by incorporating the weighting for electoral value which makes some areas appear significantly larger than they would be based on population alone.

And neither addressed VA directly in any way per the original post.

He did not win VA "overwhelmingly" by any measure (other than maybe electoral count) as was stated in the post that I responding to.

And, again, these maps reflect results of a single, specific PRESIDENTIAL election, not whether the population is "liberal." A different election/candidate/time may well yield different results (e.g., as in the case of Congressional results versus Presidential results).

I see. Because "NO ONE" lives there, they are very conservative. That makes sense. lol

Doesn't matter what you are, the maps posted weren't particularly responsive re VA, distort the effect, and don't necessarily support the argument.

They were not terrorists. Abe Lincoln and his cohorts were terrrorists. He was like Hitler. They were defending their homes. Lee's Army included Fairfax. Sorry if you dont like it you can always move.

I never knew not working could be so sweet. Food stamps, welfare, luxury section 8 condo, obamaphone. Ask me again why I voted for obama. As LBJ said after passing massive social giveaway programs "This will keep those niggers voting democrat for the next two hundred years".

Remember, it was 1983 when the commonwealth legislators voted to merge the new MLK Day with "Lee-Jackson Day" to create Lee, Jackson, King Day?

It was an embarrassment.

The merge was reverted in 2001, and we are better for it. The old Virginia is still with us in some ways, but we have gotten so much better since we started examining the old ways, and fixing them for the benefit of the entire commonwealth.

No, it was a great thing to celebrate. I dont see anything wrong with it. Should have stuck with it. Being communist and socialist is not my idea of "progressive".

Refugees from the North and foreign immigrants are flocking to NOVA, Richmond, Charlottesville, and Hampton Roads. These newcomers have turned VA blue, a trend that is sure to continue and deepen.

It's time for you 'good 'ol boys and gals' to burrow a little further down south. I hear Kentucky & Tennessee are welcoming of your kind.

Hasta la vista, baby.

That's the direction I'm heading. Coastal SE. Sold my waaaay over-priced house here to a hipster couple who I know are going to just LOVE their new neighbors. All 20 of them and their cars parked all over the yard. lol Bought a nice place on the water for about what you'd pay for a condo here and banked the balance. You can have this over-crowded, third world shit hole. Used to be a nice area but it's gone completely to hell over the last 20 years. That's just going to get worse. But wait, here's the best mindfuck part for you - I'm mixed race black+hispanic and even I'm done with this shit. lmao

See ya!

It starts with the accent - wtf is with the drawl? No one from fucking Great Britain spoke like that. wtf?

Peps in the south can be very nice but there seems to be this quality of a time warp down there.

And what is it with the Civil War? That was a long time ago why is the south hanging on to that? "The South Shall Rise Again." How fucking immature. How would the south like it if Northerners had sayings like 'We defeated the Confederates,' or 'If the South Rises Again the North Will Crush It Again?" It was over a hundred years in the past let it go.

Kentucky is not South of Virginia. Look at a map. Kentucky is hardly Southern at all. Its like the Midwest with a slight southern element. Most people there are either hillbillies in the east or just mainly midwestern in the west. Its virtually indistinguishable from Ohio. Louisville is north of Richmond.

Its not just Virginia, its the whole South Atlantic region. I was in Raleigh, NC area last month. Just like NOVA. Pushy, rude people . All spread out . You got to drive 10 miles to get everywhere. Lots of that. Charlotte is the same way. Atlanta Metro is a lot like DC Metro. Nothing remains untouched. There are parts of Virgina and NC that are still nice, but most of it has been turned upside down. Triangle area of NC has lots of people from NY/NJ. You're more likely to hear a NJ accent in that part of NC than anyone from NC. I hate it.If you wanna find "The South" you have to go a lot further west.

Bzzzzttttt fail.

"Southern dialects originated in large part from immigrants from the British Isles who moved to the South in the 17th and 18th centuries. Settlement also included large numbers of Protestants from Ulster, Ireland, and from Scotland."

Why do people have this miconcetion about all Northerners are well educated? I have been to the North, and I hate to break it to you, but parts of Upstate NY and PA and New England are so backwater, they make the South look like Paris , France. Not every Northerner is a rich Manhattan socialite. How many New Yorkers actually live that way? Less than 1% The rest all live in tenament slums and speak horrible English. Same with Boston, Philly, Pittsburg, etc. Do you honestly think people from Chicago sound nice? They sound atrocious. "Hieee Aheem from Chicaaaaago". Yikes. People. If thats what people think sounds well educated, then call me a taxi.

no shortage of scary rural folk up North either. Those long cold winters foster a lot of alcohol abuse. Unlike the South however Northerners on the east coast* will generally not pretend to be overly nice when they do not know you. In the South it will be sweetness and polite protocol right up until they lynch you. Two-faced mothers...

I cant stand northern accents. There are some southern accents that can be annoying, but in general, its lighter and easier to handle. Northerners sound awful. My ears perk up when I hear them because they sound so shrill- there's no way not to notice. Do northerners realize how awful they sound? They seem to only think Southerners have a problem. I wish they could hear how bad they sound, though.

Persons with heavy Boston accents sound like idiots for sure. When I went up to school up there I thought they were the stupidest people on earth. 'wicked good' 'bubbla' 'pakie' 'pop' many more I cannot recall. Id say more gutteral than the Southern lilting drawl. I dont care for either other than in the movies...

Poor Virginia- a victim of culture doesn't mesh with geography. She sits at the bottom of the North and the Top of the South. Pretty much pummelled in either direction. Two Centuries ago, she might as well have been Alabama. But the invention of the Jet Plane puts Virginia at New York's doorstep. We're not a big country anymore. Lets just learn to deal with the changes.
