It has hit a nerve. To talk with people in everyday life who don’t have a clue about current events and seemingly couldn’t care less is very frustrating. If only half of the people were to show any interest, this country could be put on the right track very quickly.
Penguinhunter,
I went to your profile to see where you live. It must be very difficult to live among so many liberal fools. To your credit, you seem to be holding together and keeping your patriotic beliefs.
My husband and I lived in an Atlanta suburb and even though this was supposed to be the “Bible Belt South, we were surrounded by liberals everywhere we turned. Upon retirement we looked for somewhere to flee to. The Blue Ridge Mountains seemed like a good choice. We are indeed happier here in the mountains. Their are still some on-the-edge invironmental whackos, but generally they tend toward moral values.
The indigenous locals are still traditionally conservative and wonderful neighbors. It’s a great life-style here….. very unpretentious, laid back, neighborly. Sounds boring? Quite the opposite. It’s a very musical community, everything from Classical at the local college and music center to old time, Blue Grass and even Rock if that is your thing. Several great chefs at local restaurants most of which use local produce and meat. There is only one tiny single-screen movie theater here as only the young people care about Hollywood stuff, because there is more exciting outdoor and music stuff to do. Life is ….. well I used to say it is “GOOD”, but knowing what is happening in a lot of the rest of the country, I can’t exactly say that anymore.
To survive living where you are, my advice is to keep your eye and mind on Jesus Christ, until you are able, to move. Until then, may Christ be with you my FRiend until the time is right for you to move.
