Purple America

For those of you who still think that the election was close, take a look at these two maps. One shows the counties in their actual size shaded blue or red based on what the population voted.

This map shows each county with a size set by the population. It looks a lot less red.

This is far more of the mandate the George W Bush claimed four years ago, this is a landslide. For those of you that fear a socialist government, let me just state the following:

1. Socialist nations like Denmark, Normay, Sweden and Holland have:

1. Highest quality of living
2. Highest per capita income
3. Highest literacy rates
   
4. Lowest crime rates
5. Lowest infant mortality rates
6. Things like HRT and SRS are covered by the national health

I've heard a lot of people claim that Obama was a socialist. He's not. I wish he was, but I would have been no more enthusiastic of his candidacy.

Be that as it may, why would socialism be so scary anyway?
