I live in New York City and have discovered on many occasions the power of the simple words "I admire Bush" to inspire tirades, tears and temper tantrums. It was disconcerting at first, but after a while I began to feel a sense of power. At any rate, trying to fit in by keeping a low profile is hopeless. Eventually, you'll hear some idiocy that makes you lose your cool. Be honest from the beginning and the advantage remains on your side.
Sounds like sage advice.

Keep up the good work! Just remember, with those effects every time you say "I admire Bush" it's like purchasing a lottery ticket or putting a coin in a slot machine whose payoff could be one less democrat through a stroke or massive heart attack... ;-)
Certainly, there are haters on the right but, my God, I would never have believed it had you told me what living here would be like.
Right after the election some compassionate leftist filed a human resources complaint against a co-worker of mine for - I sh!t you not - "Voting for Bush".....and I don't work at McDonalds....I'm talking a multi-million dollar, professional services company in the middle of the city.
If you say something they don't like, the lefties up here will sometimes flat-out yell at you. It's pretty bizarre.
I stopped talking politics some time ago.
