NBC political director and chief White House correspondent, Chuck Todd, today
declared the “Rural-Urban political divide is as stark as it has ever been.”
In
speaking on a Washington, D.C. news radio station this morning, Todd said
today’s divided nation is no longer “red state verses blue state, it’s rural
verses urban.” He went on to say that many of the politically divisive issues
such as gun control and abortion stem from rural and urban differences that are
“cultural.”
Is he right? In the 2008 Presidential election, much of rural
America was “purple.” In 2012, the color was definitely more red. We hope to
hear more of this interesting discussion during the 24th annual Rural Health
Policy Institute, the largest rural advocacy event in the nation, where Chuck
Todd has been invited to speak.

No seditious or treasonous remarks against the United States or threats of violence against a specfic person or official of the US, State, or local govt.
EXAMPLE: "We ought to hang all the damn politicians and lawyers"
This is okay because it is logistically impossible, and I don't think we have enough money for all the rope we would need or enough light posts to hang them from, so therefore it must be satire.
