Liberals Are Destroying America — A Response to a Liberal

In response to an uber-liberal poster on another site, I would like to “drill down” into the statistics she provided as being proof that conservatism is destroying America.

The article (from the Daily Kos) states that the ten states with the lowest average median incomes in America are all governed by Republicans. On face value, that appears to be a damning statement. However, the overall economy of a state is determined by the cities and localities within the state.

In reverse order…

Mississippi – The two biggest citiesin the state are Jackson and Gulfport.

The current mayor of Jackson, Mississippi is Frank Melton, a Democrat. He is currently running for a second term despite being labeled the worst mayor in America. The current unemployment rate is 8.6%. The average median household income was $31,177 which is lower than the state average.

The current mayor of Gulfport is George Schlogel, a Republican who was elected in 2009.  The current unemployment rate in the Gulfport is 9.4%. However, job growth in Gulfport has increased 26% over the last two years. The average median household income for Gulfport was $39,213 which is above the state average.

So, who’s hurting the economy? Moving on…

West Virginia – One thing the uber-liberal poster on the other site fails to mention is that West Virginia’s governor was Joe Manchin, a Democrat, until he chose to be a Senator. The current acting governor is Earl Tomblin, also a Democrat. So, according to the uber-liberal’s post, the Democrats would be responsible for the poor economic conditions in West Virginia?

Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the entire slam piece she posted? Moving on…

Arkansas – The current governor, since 2006 and re-elected in 2010, is Mike Beebe, a Democrat.

Hold the phone!! What?? Two of the three states with the lowest average median household incomes have been led by Democrats since 2005, and conservatism is destroying America???

Liberals need to check their facts!!

      Hello my fellow comrades! I think you are all exactly right on!! I unfortunately live in the biggest city in Mexico! Las Vegas Nevada! This place is #1 in the country for the employment of illegals! And get this #1 in unemployed U.S. citizens! I laugh so I don’t start crying. The Vegas boom was huge here jobs were everywhere! Then we all know the sudden boom, and nothing no work no nothing, fore closers everywhere ya looked. So I now live with parents again apply to 10-12 jobs a week aiming low MacDonald’s, washing dishes, etc… Nothing. The excuses I saw and was given by the left is Americans refused those jobs illegals have now. Really? I didn’t refuse any job because I was able to get a better job that paid more etc… So the companies needing help had no choice but to hire illegals, by the way send there U.S. $$$ to Mexico! I now lost the opportunity to clean toilets, because Juan had the foresight to see toilet cleaning for $7.75hr was the future for Nevada! So the left tells me to take a seat go back to school, learn Spanish stay unemployed and keep paying those taxes! If anyone understands please let me know! Don’t fire the criminal and hire me what about Juan feelings and it costs too much to retrain another toilet cleaner. I feel like maybe The U.S.is broken no hope is left and all i have is some loose change in the pocket of my Korean made jeans. Am I alone?? Where is Jesse Jackson, AL Sharp-ten? Obama didn’t lie in his campaign people no he was spot on!!! Because everyday I say to myself while holding my (Need Food Please) sign on the side of the road I say “man i HOPE this car has some CHANGE???) AM I ALONE???? WRONG?? Juan HOPES America don’t CHANGE!! OBAMA 2012 vote amigos! adios!! And Harry Reid was on capital hill Dismissing these problems instead he brings up some new law to stop all legal prostitution? really?? that’s what you bring up in congress not helping Americans with this but prostitutes gotta go that’s why we don’t have jobs???? AM I ALONE????

    They spent some time creating a reverse chronology of what Opuppet has had to say about liberally spending other people’s money:
