Let's see are we talking about the same Charles County where 62% of the residents voted for Obama, and the same NoVa where ultra-conservative Bob McDonnell won in practically every jurisdiction (including Ffx) except Arlington/Alexandria? In any case I don't recall saying anything about NoVa; I'm pretty sure I said "Virginia." As in "Confederate History Month," sue the fed. government "Virginia."

Well I wouldn't be surprised if your new AG and Gov. tried too.

Virginia for some reason usually gets a pat on the back, even though, as the region's conservative/Southern presence, it is the most blatant violator against the liberal idealism that this blog advocates

Northern Virginia constitutes a conservative or southern presence? Guess I might as well bring out the slaves again now that our secret is out.

Take a trip to parts of Charles County and compare to anything in NOVA and then come back and tell me which is more 'conservative/southern'. As I recall, it was PG county which only recently paid their farmers not to grow tobacco.

But yea, uninformed generalizations are far easier to do than actually rely on facts.

So why do we care about this? It really seems to me that this blog exists solely for two purposes:

1. Criticize institutions/infrastructure in DC and Maryland. (Virginia for some reason usually gets a pat on the back, even though, as the region's conservative/Southern presence, it is the most blatant violator against the liberal idealism that this blog advocates)

2. Glorify and idolize other cities such as New York, Boston, and San Francisco, which are great cities, but not nearly as close to utopia (and in most cases further away than DC) as most on here think.
