Guess Who
Runs the Rudest Cities in America
Recently,
an oft-cited Business Insider survey ranked
the rudest cities in America. The top 10 are all bastions of
misguided liberalism. They are sanctuaries to illegal aliens and
often hostile towards law-abiding citizens by imposing oppressive taxes and
silly regulations and by encouraging lawlessness by handcuffing law
enforcement.
Intrigued,
I compared the Business Insider list to a survey that ranks cities on a
conservative-liberal spectrum, and to other surveys that rank by friendliness,
safety, and crime. The results are insightful: independent surveys
indicate that the rudest, most dangerous, and least friendly cites are
overwhelmingly liberal and sanctuary cities. Moreover, some
conservative cities that rank more favorably are larger than a few of the
degenerate liberal cities.
Let's
start by comparing a list of the most liberal cities, as compiled by
The Economist and published by Forbes, to the Business Insider list of rudest
cities. It's uncanny: two completely separate surveys are almost
interchangeable. Indeed, seven cities are on both lists, while
neither of the ignominious lists has a single conservative (mostly)
city. Juxtaposed is Forbes's list of the most dangerous cities.

It
just jumps out at you: the rudest, most crime-infested cites are
exclusively liberal. This is not just a function of size, as
Jacksonville, for example, has a larger population than San
Francisco, Seattle, D.C., and Boston. You'd expect that it would be
riddled with big-city problems including crime and rudeness; however, it is
ranked the 17th rudest, well below the putrid liberal bastions. The
contrast with other conservative cities, demonstrated below, is even starker.
None
of the cities that manages to eke out a little conservatism, at least by city
standards, makes either the rudest or most dangerous cities list:
Mesa,
Ariz.
|
Oklahoma
City
|
Virginia
Beach
|
Colorado
Springs
|
Jacksonville
|
Arlington,
Texas
|
Anaheim
|
Omaha
|
Tulsa
|
Aurora,
Colo.
|
Conservative
cities do tend to be friendlier,
however. Consider Omaha and Oklahoma City, and even Charleston
(relatively conservative by city standards). Corroborating this is
the Reader's Choice Awards survey, put out
by Conde Nast Traveler.
Granted,
most large cities are run by demented Dems, making the notion of rude cities
somewhat self-evident. Nevertheless, several of the most dangerous cities are smaller
than medium-sized cities that lean conservative. For example,
Oklahoma City, ranked the 2nd most conservative by Forbes and 8th most friendly according to Big Seven Travel, is
bigger than Memphis, Baltimore, Oakland, Cleveland, Birmingham, St. Louis, and
Stockton — all cities with the dubious distinction of rating highly on Forbes's most dangerous list. Omaha,
8th most conservative and 7th friendliest, is about the same size,
population-wise, as Oakland but is bigger than Cleveland,
Birmingham, St. Louis, and Stockton.
Here's
a list compiled by the Immigration Reform Law
Institute. It reveals the destitution of liberal policies,
showing the top 10 sanctuary cities with the highest crime rates:
San
Francisco
|
New York
|
Minneapolis
|
Philadelphia
|
Seattle
|
Chicago
|
Montgomery
County, Md. and Fairfax County, Va.
|
Prince
George's County, Md.
|
Boston
|
Santa
Clara County, Calif.

Liberal
apologists will advance specious arguments that illegal aliens don't commit the
most crimes, but that entirely misses the point — all these crimes are
preventable! In addition to the untold misery (imprisoned by P.C.,
some jurisdictions don't even track the stats, lest they offend the loony
leftists) the crimes inflict upon citizens, it costs a lot to lock the
criminals up — presuming they are prosecuted, and presuming that some liberal
judge-cum-legislator doesn't release them prematurely.
There's
also a study, awaiting peer review but still posted on the Social Science
Research Network, that ranks states by the number of psychopaths
it harbors. Here's that disturbing list:
Connecticut
|
West
Virginia
|
California
|
Vermont
|
New Jersey
|
Tennessee
|
New
York/Wyoming
|
North
Carolina
|
Maine
|
New Mexico
|
Wisconsin
|
Oklahoma
|
Nevada
|
Montana
|
Illinois
|
Mississippi
|
Virginia
|
Indiana
|
Maybe
it's an astonishing coincidence that a big majority of states with the most
psychos are liberal; then again, Trump Derangement Syndrome and the
debilitating disease of liberalism may be contributing to their psychopathology
and disinhibition. Illinois is noteworthy because it foisted upon us
an effete and unaccomplished senator who wielded his narcissistic selfie stick and who brought psychopathy into to the White
House.
While
we're at the state level, let's note that the friendliest states have a
conservative bent, per Big Seven Travel. Notable
exceptions are "Minnesota Nice" and Hawaii, where they're encouraged
to schmooze with revenue-producing tourists:
Minnesota
|
New York
|
Tennessee
|
Arkansas
|
South
Carolina
|
Delaware
|
Texas
|
Massachusetts
|
Wyoming
|
New Jersey
|
Indiana
|
Washington
|
Colorado
|
New
Hampshire
|
Kansas
|
Nevada
|
Oklahoma
|
Florida
|
Hawaii
|
Rhode
Island

This
is important because when wayward liberal city mayors run amok, Republican
state legislatures can discipline them by asserting the pre-eminence of state
law. Indeed, state legislatures often introduce laws pre-empting runaway cities.
To
summarize: The rudest, least friendly, and most dangerous cities are ravaged by
ill conceived liberalism. At great personal and financial expense,
they often mollycoddle illegal aliens. More conservative cities are
friendlier and more hospitable. Conservative-leaning states are also
friendlier.
There
is also a bifurcation between ürban uber-liberals and rural conservative
strongholds. Hopefully, this will self-correct: with maturity, the
city-dwelling Millennials will gain more experience and integrate more complex
information, thereby ridding themselves of their postmodern educational
indoctrination. For those with the mental fortitude to exorcise
their intolerant liberal demons, their level of consciousness will rise
commensurately. Eventually, their liberal bleeding hearts will
succumb to conservative brains. In the meantime, please remain in
your stinky, crime-ridden asphalt jungles, and leave our pleasant conservative
enclaves to thrive.
