3. They listen to their church
Edited on Mon May-17-04 01:02 PM by DU9598
The Dutch reformed. A part of my family has been in Orange City - county seat - for many years. All the Democrats are smart enough to get the heck out of there. The R's stick around. The place is scary. No bars and no lawn mowing on Sundays. No minorities either, unless you count the Germans. I have always considered it one step away from a little fascist state up there. I also note that it is the conservative right-wing part of northwest Iowa that has the lowest percentage of union households in the state along with the lowest wages and the highest unemployment rates in Iowa.

It is also home to State Senator Ken Veenstra who called gays "people against nature" and in "violation of natural law". He then went on to "out" a closeted gay Democratic State Senator. How dispicable.

Wish I could explain more, but they are beyond explanation.
