Umm... FoS?
Crappy research when reported by The Patriot blog is even crappier when reported by the researchers.
Phil Reiff and Jason Alderman, directors of the Bay Area Center for Voting Research comment on their study on which cities are most liberal and most conservative. From their op-ed:
Defining who is liberal has become a national sport among politicians, as Democrats frantically run from the moniker, while Republicans hurl the invective blindly at everyone on the other side of the aisle.
New research done by the Bay Area Center for Voting Research (BACVR) reveals who the real liberals in American are and the answer is not the tree-hugging, ponytail wearing ex-hippies you might expect. Instead, the new face of American liberalism is of a decidedly different hue. The nation's remaining liberals are overwhelming African Americans.
They go on to point out that the Democrats are controlled by whitey. But let's go over this again: The Democrats aren't liberal. Okay, that's fine with me, I guess, but the report they're using studied liberalness by seeing who people voted for in the presidential election. The vast majority of the "liberal" votes were votes for Democrats. So, while Democrats aren't liberal, the people who vote for the Democrats the most are black, and therefore blacks are liberal. That's some fine research, dudes. Mighy fine.
