Yeah, you can cherry pick images all you want, it doesn't change the other 95% of the American South's behavior. Try changing that.
I can easily find people in New York City behaving politely and being nice to each other. Happens every day. So why again aren't New Yorkers "real Americans" according to the conservative right?
have you been in Houston for more than a few days? Houston is not "conservative" by any stretch of imagination. It is very different from most of TX, most of American South, New Orleans, and, dare I say, from the rest of US of A. First, it is one of few cities where there is no major ethnic group/race. Second, it stands out from big and ethnically diverse cities in that while it slightly favors Democrats, Republicans also have a chance - it voted for R-Abbott in TX gov election. Third, there is much less inter-ethnic animosity than in most other places - people are very mixed up and not that closeted in their ethnic group. This is the biggest difference which transplants from NYC note. There is very little SJW action - demonstrators on campuses in Houston number in TENS typically, and most students ignore the demonstrations. There is some police abuse crap, but less than in other parts of US. Houston is one of extremely rare places in US where a blue-collar worker with high-school or lower education can lead a decent life and buy a house. And yes, it has miserable climate, with heat, humidity, and hurricanes, and an extremely corrupt city hall.
And why I wouldn't want to live there regardless of any other variable. We have our toronados to worry about in the spring and I'll live with that. I just wish Kurt Nauck would move his operations further inland--I hate to think of all those records getting damaged!
I wonder what the representatives from Texas are going to do to mitigate the audacity of their begging for the largest aid package in history after arguing so strenuously against providing relief to the millions of victims of hurricane Sandy?
Perhaps aid packages should include just aid for hurricane relief, and not assorted unrelated crap. Or should we name next Iraq war financing as "hurricane Harvey relief package" and castigate those voting against it?

I've been to NYC several times and have yet to visit a city in the USA where people are less "nice" to each other.
I agree we can cherry pick all day however and it'll get us nowhere.
Furthermore, Al Gore has done more for the American economy than all Republican politicians and voters who have ever lived have done.
LOL Why did he buy a beach front mansion if he believes the ocean is rising? Al Gore reminds me of one of those Christian revival ministers who can save your soul if you give him ALL your money.
The only bigot here is you. History matters. When Katrina hit New Orleans, the police were shooting blacks who were trying to evacuate or help others.
Yeah they were helping those without flood insurance by burglarizing their houses. That way they could file an insurance claim for burglary. I don't know why the police couldn't understand that.
The plan is quite simple. Tax pollution at whatever rate it takes to clean up the pollution. The free market takes care of the rest. Either pollution continues but is cleaned up, or pollution stops. Same effect either way. It's a more efficient allocation of resources.

Texas is showing the world that white vs black is a false dichotomy. They are all false dichotomies.
People are people and we help each other. At least, that's how we do it It Texas and across the entire south that I've seen.
Oh that's right, you don't...

You want Texas to be respected, then have its citizens and government behave respectably.

If anything, that's damn conservative. Where do you get less? You don't.

That's all they care about
