That's all well and good, but I'm from New Jersey and but for the other Jersey Freepers I usually feel like I'm all alone out here.

The guys at my gun club (In Jackson) are all solidly pro second amendment, but when ti comes to other topics you wouldn't believe some of the stuff that comes out of their mouths.

I'm not saying it's a lost cause, but conservatives are few and far between.

“I’m not saying it’s a lost cause, but conservatives are few and far between.”

No, man, it is a lost cause. Lived there all my life, up until about two years ago then my wife and I finally concluded that enough is enough (taxes) and moved to NH. Still haven’t sold my NJ house, maybe next year, if the market improves.

I hear you, man...I'm in the largely Republican county of Morris, so it's not that bad here. I lived in Manhattan for 25 years...this is paradise compared to that.

I have a good buddy from upstae NY and he is a strong Second Amendment guy but just like your shooting friends on the other issues. Can't reason with him...

You're not alone. However, we are few in number.

Well, here in Warren & Sussex counties conservatism is alive and well...for now at least. As for the rest of this liberal cesspool, also known as New Jersey, all is lost.

Four years and counting, before we can make the "Great Escape"!

Jackson seems to attract alot of Staten Island types who are usually pro-statist as long as it benefits “the right people” (ie THEM). I still find it incredible how you (and two of my uncles) live in a township where it seems to take an entire day just to drive from one end to the other, and where the roads seem more like indian trails than thoroughfares.
