I don’t quite understand this.

World magazine, “Building a city” (March 24/31 2007) listed the 10 most conservative U.S. cities on page 29:

1.  Provo, Utah

2.  Lubbock, Texas

3.  Abilene, Texas

4.  Hialeah, Florida

5.  Plano, Texas

6.  Colorado Springs, Colorado

7.  Gilbert, Arizona

8.  Bakersfield, California

9.  Layayette, La.

10.  Orange, California

Provo is number one in America, yet BYU-Utah students are not happy that the Vice President of America is going to speak there this spring.  I would love to hear the Vice President of the United States.

Even more radical, the mayor of Salt Lake City is asking that President Bush be impeached.

Yesterday, I was on the campus of BYU-Idaho (I enjoy the place); and here is what Amy Barrus, opinion editor of the Scroll (March 27-April 2, 2007) shares:

ROCKY ANDERSON CALLS FOR IMPEACHMENT

In Utah, one of the most conservative states in the nation, Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson has gone a little haywire, calling for the impeachment of President Bush.  He’s no longer satisfied with merely leading protests against the president while he’s visiting Salt Lake, it seems.  Although I don’t think elected officials have to completely support the president, or pretend to do so, I think a little restraint should be exercised.

BYU MIGHT PROTEST CHENEY SPEAKING

As it stands right now, United States Vice President Dick Cheney is speaking at BYU’s commencement this year.  In light of the Scooter Libby trial and the War in Iraq, some think it might actually spark a protest at BYU.  If it does, I’ll be sorely disappointed.

I appreciate Amy for being a voice of reason among the corridor.

Is the northern corridor perhaps a little more conservative than its southern sister?  If Provo is the #1 conservative city, maybe Rexburg, Idaho is the #1 conservative town in America (and perhaps, a little more relaxed over politics).  Don’t you think?
