[Gay State Conservative]

It's common knowlege that,in the 70's,the unwashed hippies
of Mass,NY and surrounding areas made a conscious effort to
claim VT as their own.I'll bet that there are fewer natives
living there than there are in CA,NV or FL.

Yes. I recall reading about that "movement." The left never rests. Even when they acheive their goals, they continue to push an even more radical agenda. The bastards never quit. Ya gotta give 'em credit for that! They have used Vermont as a base to spread their goals/policies. Much as GWB has used Iraq to foster democracy in the ME.

Last year there was movement afoot (discussed alot here on FR) for Libertarians to pick a state they could move to and affect the political climate. I believe NH was the winner.

Having travelled quite a bit up east, I can say Vermont is a lovely state. Oddly enough, they are famous in gun-circles for the "Vermont-style carry." Go figure...

Didn't a lot of draft-dodgers move to VT so as to have an escape route to Canada? They stayed and grew up.

When I was a kid (born conservative) growing up in Massachusetts, Vermont, to me, was the epitome of conservatism. How things change!

Hmmm. Definitely food for thought.
