Colorado Freepers should enjoy this discussion. I moved out of a liberal state. If you're looking for a conservative area in which to live, there are lots of things to be found on the above thread.

A lot of folks retire to the Western slope in Colorado (Grand Junction, Montrose, Delta, etc.)

The weather on that side of the Rocky's is milder and yet you still have easy access to all that Colorado offers (minus Denver/Boulder, which would be about a 6 hour drive).

I used to live in Colorado Springs - the Gazette Telegraph at that time was a conservative paper, and it really did set the tone for the whole town. Now, I’m not so sure - a lot of liberals from CA moved there and diluted the gene pool ;-)

Asking for the most conservative area in CO is like aking for the coolest place in hell.

I’d agree with the first post. Northern Colorado Springs is the most conservative place I’ve ever lived.

I left the left coast about 4 years ago and haven’t missed it one bit.

I know quite a few conservative towns in Colorado having grown up there myself, though I wouldn’t actually want to live there(Sterling or Fort Morgan anyone? :P)

I live in the Northern part of Colorado Springs and would recommend it. The weather here is not as bad as everyone outside of the state seems to think it is. Generally warm and dry in the winter except for the big storms that roll through.

Try Southwest Colorado, Alamosa or Cortez. It’s conservative and not too cold or snowy in the winter and plenty of outdoors things to do.

Have you given any thought to the Black Hills of western South Dakota? Very conservative area, lower crime rate, less populated and lower cost of living than Colorado. Lots of retired military here. The winters are not as brutal as many think. But, we do have a definite four seasons. Lots of hunting (deer, elk, antelope, mountain lion, wild turkey) and fishing (mostly trout)........and skiing at Terry Peak near Deadwood (gambling there, too) Good airport in Rapid City, with multiple daily flights to Denver, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, Chicago and Las Vegas. We have fantastic medical facilities, great shopping (two new big malls being built), good restaurants, and lots of cultural events.

If I didn’t live here, I would move here.

Oh, we also have Mount Rushmore.

Colorado Springs, El Paso County, is one of the most conservative cities/counties in the US.
It sits next to Pikes Peak, the weather is lovely, and if you have a techie or military background, you should not have a problem getting a job.

In spite of our toe-tappin’, men’s room-cruising senator, just about anyplace in Idaho is 20 years behind the times and as conservative as you’re going to find.

I live outside Pocatello which is one of two dhimmiecrat strongholds (the other being where all the rich Kalifornicators live in Sun Valley). That’s it for the entire state. And Poky is STILL more conservative than 95% of the rest of the USA.

All that and our economy is booming.

Oh, and please keep this a secret (shhhh we have enough out-of-staters): in many parts of Colorado, while the nights are pretty darned cold; we have many warm days, even in winter, even after snow. It is not unusual to see people in a sweatshirt and shorts in wintertime, out riding their bikes. My husband points out that you can ride motorcycles most of the 12 months a year here.

Boulder got taken over by IBMers in the 70’s it it is probably the most like ny, new jersey. The governor is a liberal that was the district attorney of denver and had a 98 release rate for illegals. Western Longmont spanish is required. Colorado Springs has a lot of military and government jobs. Western slope has a lot of Chinese drill personnel. Ft Collins is the city that the university editorial said Taze this Fu## bush. Traffic is horrible in the front range. I don’t know why I haven’t moved.

Don’t worry about the snow and cold there. The cold is very dry, and the sun shines about 275 days a year. The perception is that it’s quite warm in winter. Quite often when the thermometer reads 20 degrees, everyone is running around in a sweater instead of the heavy gear you’d be wearing at the same temperature in New York.

It’s really God’s country. You know why they’re having all those problems in the middle east? It’s because God left the middle east and moved to Colorado for the skiing.

There’s no such haven for Conservtives in America anymore. Not since we are an extremely mobile society. Liberals will just move to attractive Red states after fouling the blue states they lived in. We have to encourage large ideas, fight the cultural marxists in the universities and hold our ground.

Teller County. The accursed Kalifornicators seem to have missed it.

Stay away from the Route 82 corridor from Glenwood to Aspen. It’s as liberal as the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

Colorado Springs.

Stocked with christian conservatives and mega-churches along with very large Air Force base with lots of military families.

Just avoid downtown Denver and especially Boulder. Also, don’t do any big skiing town names like Aspen, Breckenridge, Vail or Creste Butte or Telluride. Big names attract liberals who want to commune with nature and prevent anybody else from following them there who might spoil the experience for them.

Most of the state is rural so you are just deciding how much city you want. But the Springs is a great place to start. But feel free to call the State GOP in CO and ask them!
