Last night before the (horrible) Monday Night Football game I was watching ABC News. They are doing a series of segments called "American Red-American Blue" to kind of gauge what each color thinks about each other. They focused in on 2 cities, Evanston Illinois, a blue mid sized city and suburban Wheaton, Il. a red bastian. They asked the 2 groups how they saw or viewed each other. The red group from Wheaton said they thought blue folk viewed them as people who carry their bibles around with them all day wherever they go.

The blue group said they thought red people viewed them as "being on the fringe of everything".

A man from the red group said he felt that blues were trying to "force" gay rights issues down their throats, and of course they resented this.

One lady from a blue group said she felt less interested in spending much time around red staters, and certainly not wanting to discuss politics with them either.

I thought this was an interesting start of how each group views the other.

Puckman, I caught that segment as well and was put out by the "forcing gay marriage down our throats" comment. I have heard that worn out excuse here in Georgia, but have yet to see anyone in Georgia cramming gay marriage down anyone's throat. That line is fed to them by radio personalities and they all use the exact same words even though there is nothing to back it up. They are the same people who will talk about radical judges, and the sanctity of marriage, and none of which can give a definition or any support. It must be nice to be a good little sheep.
