Fuck The South (.com)?

No doubt you've already seen this website. I'm not going to endorse any of its arguments, but I will say that the links it provides on the actual practice of "heartland" moral values are instructive.

For example: the Blue States have much lower divorce rates than the red states, and Massachusetts has the lowest of all.

Alongside their high divorce rates, red states also have inordinately high murder rates.

Last, it turns out that red still stands for socialism---because the red states (for the most part) take in far more revenue in various federal subsidies than they pay in federal taxes. Guess who pays for all that. I won't tell you. Just guess.

P.S. I don't have the statistics off-hand, but I'm pretty sure that the red states do a lot worse on drug addiction than the blue states [not too surprising when it's a lot easier to cook up crystal meth than to drive to the nearest city a couple hundred miles away--ed.]. OTOH, red states do tend to be quite a bit more generous in terms of charitable donations---though if red states paid their fair share of taxes, that might not be the case.
