Republicans are smart and provide most of the food you eat.

    What, like conservatives don't do the same when it comes to patriotism, morals and work ethic? The former two went out the window with Trump, who is neither patriotic nor moral. And work ethic? Is there data that suggests conservatives have better work ethic than liberals?

    And when it comes to education, the problem isn't that conservatives are not educated (which isn't their fault), but that many are not yet they pretend to "know" things or pretend to be "knowledgeable."

    It's all a virtue signaling act, each and every one of their lie narratives on race, gender, business, wealth, etc., just rotten, divisive whitewash over a machine built to enrich itself, commit graft and fool an ignorant underclass of permanent dependents.

    Don't care whether you believe it or not. I saw it firsthand and it's something I'm going to remember for the rest of my days.

    I see the behavior all the time out of Liberals now that I'm paying attention more. If it were just the exception, I wouldn't be concerned. It seems to be more of a rule.

    Yes California is a big food producer and most of those farmers are Republicans so my point still stands.

    I know many farmers that are not welfare dependent. My uncle for example has a very nice house and his family does pretty good for themselves. I don't know a single farmer that needs any extra help from anybody.

    Many farmers in Iowa do most of the work themselves. Republicans are smart and don't need a higher education to grow food and feed America.

    So being good at growing corn makes you a politics guru?

    You are wrong. Most of the 60+ million people who voted for Trump have voted before.
    Yes Iowa does export some of it's corn to China. I'm not sure of other countries but it's nice to know we help feed the world too.

    I'm just making a point. Many on here continue to call us uneducated and stupid but that is not true at all. We do a lot for this country and I know many Republicans that have or are trying to get a higher education. Like I have said many times a degree means nothing if you can't eat.

    I have seen name-calling go both ways.

    As for intelligence what about this?

    Corn isn't really a food crop anymore. Well over 80% of all corn grown in the US is grown for ethanol now days. That's why the price on food corn has gone up, because farmers don't grow as much, since it's more profitable to produce it for biofuel. A handful of companies grow all food corn in the US.

    You have it all wrong. Hillary was not for black people. She even celebrated the confederate flag with his husband and praised a former member of the ku klux klan. We don't want to take healthcare away. We want to fix it or make it better. The tax breaks will help the middle class and small businesses too. So you are only stating things to make it look like we don't care and that is a lie. Republicans are not the ones having violent protests in the streets or inviting Black Lives Matter into the white house for dinner time.

    Most christians vote Republican and many of the local churches to a lot for the local community. We do care about America and everyone in it.

    and I wouldn't be proud of being home to the world's largest caramel color plant. Artificial caramel coloring like they use for cola and whiskey isn't a good thing. That's why most soda companies are getting rid of aritificial coloring all together.

    I went to college. I was on the deans list and I am not very smart. Infact I almost failed math. I told my teacher I needed to pass for my degree and she just started giving me C's when I felt I did not do that good. My final teacher just let the entire class get a grade above passing as long as they did the test. I also talked to some pretty unintelligent people in college and one guy was asking if he should contest going to court because he decided to yell at some cops and got himself arrested. Anybody can go to college and get a degree. That does not make you smarter. In my history class I saw people playing games on the computers and ignoring the teacher. One gal was on facebook. Just because you have a paper that says you have a degree does not mean nothing.

    In Ames many educated college students decided to riot for a week just because they wanted to. This was years ago.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/09/iowa-state-riot-veishea_n_5118414.html

    So again a college degree means nothing. Just because you have a higher education does not make you smart. Anybody can literally get a degree anymore. You just have to work hard at it or have the right teachers. I also want to point out CNN is very biased but I believe the chart because most big cities have a college or university. When it is in your backyard of course you will have more opportunities to go and many liberals live by one.

    So how is this higher education working out for most liberals? The ones in Ames, Iowa sure put it to good use when they rioted for a week.

    I have been called a liar before. I'm not worried about it. I proved that a higher education means nothing and that without Republicans this country would starve so the left can throw it in our faces all day that they get more degrees but in the end Republicans do just as much if not more for this country.

    Like I have already said a lot of people seeking higher educations act like they only have half a brain and don't even use the degree when they get it. So it is very inaccurate to say us Republicans are the ones holding this country back. It's also a proven fact most teachers are liberal so of course college students will support the left when they are being brainwashed. I know many smart people that don't have a degree.

    I have been told by several different people in college that other states seek Iowan's because of our work ethics. Yeah we are hard workers here in Iowa. I have not missed a single day of work since 2011 and I was only forced to go home once for being sick and only had 1 other day I left early for being sick. So in the last 7 years I have missed 0 works days and had only 2 sick days. That is the honest truth.

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/iowa/2...e-have-a-great-approach-to-life/#796c582f7e46

    So Iowa is a pretty good state for work ethics and quality. Having the highest public school graduation rates in the country is nice too.

    On another note Terry Branstad, the Governor of Iowa was just appointed as the ambassador to China. I have mixed feelings on the guy but it is cool to see him as an ambassador since he is from Iowa and he is highly educated with a degree.

    How many of these smart people are Republicans? We have 15 colleges in the state and most of them are in Republican counties.

    Colleges do not always make you smarter so having a college degree means nothing.

    Most American's don't really care about having a degree.
    http://scribe.uccs.edu/?p=4870

    So those people learned nothing in their first 2 years at college.

    http://www.businessinsider.com/17-m...came-waitresses-or-flight-attendants-2010-11#

    So 17 million people did nothing with their college degrees so how are they smarter? This whole nonsense about having more higher educated people from the left is a load of crap. Seriously? So how are you liberals better and smarter than Republicans?

    We feed America. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

    With Trump and the Republican Congress trashing all domestic regulations protecting consumers from infected or spoiled food, you might not be so happy about eating that stuff Republicans supposedly provides for you.
