Anyone here in the Boston area? I just got transferred to this center of loony leftist liberalism and am in desperate need of links with reality. Any help is greatly appreciated.
And from Texas too... that’s gonna leave a mark.
Change your location on your profile page and then you can see who’s in your neck of the woods.
There’s some good FReepers in MA.
PS: At least your farther away from some real dubious characters.
Being an American, I don’t think you are exclusive.
Boston is really a shortened version of it’s real name: Bozotown.
We will pray for you...hang in there..You have been called to action!
Visit the historic sites. A LOT!
Go to the FR local board for Mass, a lot of fine people there, introduce yourself. I was a Masshole for 42 years and I knew many of the Mass FReepers personally.
I’d recommend keeping an eye out for both Squantos and Slim!
“Boston is really a shortened version of it’s real name: Bozotown.”
Good one! I can see the town statues now....
On a related note By the way, Ted Kennedy has been alcohol free now for over 2 months
Piss off, Mike. You don’t have the courage to tell us where you are from, so have a nice hot mug of STFU!
Been to the RMV yet? That place is the perfect example on how government works around here.
True, as is just about everything else. But if you live in New Hamshire and work in Massachusetts you get the worst part of both states' tax policy. You end up paying Massachusetts' income tax and paying the higher New Hampshire property taxes. (Actually it is just the rates that are higher - the lower Mass. tax rates are offset by the higher values for property.)
Of course you are probably already "enjoying" the high cost of living in Boston compared to Texas.
You'll find plenty of hidden conservatives, even in places like Cambridge. But be ready for stares from the leftists if they hear you talking about politics.
Just tune in AM 680 any time except the morning show.
Good luck and welcome. Lots of good b-ahhs here and — believe it or not — there are many conservatives here even in the Cambridge/Somerville area (right across the Charles). As someone mentioned the issue beyond all the college students, professors, limo-liberals and typical wackjobs lefties is the unions (especially the public unions). The corrupt democrats have the unions in their pocket, so even though many folks I grew up with share many of the values I do (lower taxes, less gov’t, 2nd ammendment, etc..) they’ll never vote against the democrats. It’s annoying, but it is what it is.
Also be aware that it’s a b@#$ch to get a License to Carry (LTC-A) in any of the cities here. I managed to get one, but Boston is a real PITA to have to deal with.
Again... welcome.
See also New York and New Jersey. I can take you to several neighborhoods/towns with American flags flying high that vote religiously Democrat because of the public employee/construction unions. This is what kills the GOP, especially in national elections.
