Good move to leave Illinois. Becoming one of the bluest states in the Union. Problem is, Iowa has old leftist farm socialists who are left of Chavez....well, at least it seems that way. My extended family is from Iowa and my dad's side are old farm socialists, while my mom's side are old-tyme liberal Democrats.

Me? Dad went into the Marines and we moved to Mississippi when I was young. I'm now a cranky old conservative Christian (I love to say I'm a "moderate-centrist" just to tweak the lefties).

You are not kidding.

I moved here from Nebraska, and can’t believe how left it is. (Granted, Nebraska is weird).
