Same happened with Highway 666 which is now 491. They claimed that Native Americans didn't like the 666 even though it didn't have anything to do with them in any way, except for the Mormons that infiltrated some of the reservations.
Colorado used to be a Republican state but as the Democrats fucked up California, they've been flocking to Colorado. Now we'll see another once great state become a worthless pile of shit.
Fucking, Australia actually had this and similar shenanigans happen so much that the town met to discuss a name change. Evidently English is not the first language of the natives here so they had no idea how hilarious their town name was. After being made aware of this they were not amused, but they weren't mad enough to change the name either. They just got better signs. A great example to be followed.
The park in my town used to have a sign that said Elevation 420 so we'd go smoke weed there. Then I stole it. It's somewhere in ky garage now.
I'm predicting that eventually all conservatives will end up as north as you can get and all the liberals will end up in semi-equatorial areas. My thesis for this is simple. In human history, peoples indigenous to colder climates had to work harder to survive. I'd propose that these peoples are genetically less inclined to laziness. The Germans are a super-example of this as they currently are holding the EU up by its bootstraps. Compared to tropical climates where you never had to worry about freezing to death and food was mildly plentiful, you begin to see how things progress. Additionally, the US' laziest people, blacks and hispanics respectively, cannot handle even mildly cold weather. On a nice midwinter day, I'll be out for a walk in a sweater and a coat feeling tolerably warm and the fudgesicles will be shivering away under 7 layers in their apartments. Then again, that might be on account of the AIDs. Liberals are also lazy. Their entire culture comes from the Puritans who, upon landing on one of the shittiest, most inhospitable corners of the US, were too fucking lazy to pick up their shit and move to somewhere more survivable. I predict that in time, most conservatives will be packed into the Northeast and Northern border (if not in Canada outright), and the liberals will line all of the Southern border. Cities are the only toss-up due to the fact those niggas ain't goin nowhere.
No, I've been around too many blacks and Hispanics to call them lazy. Being lazy applies to everyone, and it's difficult to make a living in the large cities so often people have to work a lot more hours. In modern times, you can also be lazy in the cold weather, because frankly why go outside when it's warm inside? As for politics, today's Democrats are tomorrow's Republicans. Just how it goes.
Wait are you from one of those countries where "liberal" means "conservative?" The puritans were hellishly conservative in all things, in case you missed that paragraph in your 4th grade history book.
Easy. Scandinavians aren't naturally lazy. They kept semi-socialist states up longer than even Friedman thought possible. They possibly could have kept them indefinitely if it weren't for their low birth rates and importation of foreigners to do menial work. Other theories state that the most masculine and self-reliant Vikings are long-gone from Scandinavia's shores as they went raping and pillaging to less oppressive environments.
That explains the butthurt in some Nordic males http://www.burzum.org/eng/library/the_lords_of_lies13.shtml So Scandinavia won't be socialist much longer thanks to the sandnigs ?
The puritans were hellishly restrictive in all things. In your basic progressive boot-camp (I'm assuming you're from the US and Canada), it's drummed into the heads of kids that Conservatives=restrictive, Liberals=freedom-lovers. This is wrong as anybody with eyes can easily deduce. Censorship? Restricting scientific progress in order to preserve one's beliefs? Court-Ordered Imposition of values and beliefs? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-yZtev0eak[/media] Restricting access to weapons to protect oneself? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCUNsR6-xMQ[/media] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD3BztECqDc[/media] And, most importantly, witch-hunts for people who dare to transgress? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaIqMVRzvgs[/media] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73UeS50t87c[/media] The Puritans colonized New England and it's still the most tyrannical area of the country (except for California, which they also colonized alongside other denominations, explaining the state's Schizophrenic and combative progressive/conservative warfare that occurs 24/7) If you'd like the full account on how the modern progressives are the ideological heirs of the puritans, here's a great place to start (more readable commentary). I gave a couple high-profile examples of each, but it goes much, much deeper. Progressives have religious levels of devotion to their ideals. The absence of a supernatural belief is hardly something to split hairs over. If you ever wish to change the way you think about politics forever, I'd recommend this place.
I don't really feel like going through all of that right now(thanks for taking the time tho,) and debating politics on the internet is about the most retarded thing anyone could do. BUT... I still think it's accurate to describe the Puritans as conservative. They were conservative in dress, speech, behavior, beliefs, and morals. They were conservative in the traditionalist sense, as some (obviously not all) modern day conservatives are as well. I'm a faggot.
