    There you go, showing off your intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from yourself.
    And you were doing SO well...

    Must be difficult for you, facing such harsh criticisms of your ideology, and having nothing of substance to fight back with.

    Not sure I'd agree with that. The most "liberal" places on earth (using capitalism as conservative and Marxism/communism as liberal) have historically been Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Cities in the US tend to be liberal whether they are lily-white Seattle or coal black Detroit. Canada and the nations of western Europe seem more liberal, but compared to places like Haiti, they are still quite conservative/free. Check out the Heritage Foundation's economic freedom index: https://www.heritage.org/index/ranking Four of the top six are white countries, and 23 of the top 34 are white. Of the bottom 21, 12 are black and four are Hispanic. One is white, Algeria, which is majority Arab/Berber.

    Social conservatism is another animal entirely, with almost the entirety of Africa and the Middle East being far more socially conservative than even the most backwards Christian town in Alabama. In that sense, yes, the white nations of Earth are far more "liberal" than the black, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, and Asian nations, in that we have liberty and they don't.

    False. Between 63-81% of welfare recipients (depending on program) are Democrats. "Red" states receive disproportionally more welfare because they have disproportionally more poor people, not because they have more Republicans. "Blue" states are richer than "red" states even though Republicans out-earn Democrats. It's a matter of concentration and not politics. Wealthy Democrats cluster in major metropolitan areas while wealthy Republicans buy houses out in the country.
