I have been listen to and reading Tom Wolfe on this subject. He is southern born and mannered, and as about a prominent big city intellectual as you can find..
He talks of how the intelligentsia just donsn't get it. How they mis-understand these middle-America folks as hard-core religious fundamentalists, trying to impose their mores and values across the land. But they are not that religious. They are basically living broad based American cultural values that have not changed as quickly as the right and left coasts, and pretty much want to be left alone.
Get over it. Nobody want to sit next to you in church, unless you want to be there too.
Listen to the trash talk in video games, the "piss Ford" (or whatever) stickers on cars, or try and watch 30 minutes of MTV one day. I am glad they vote they way they do.
