The inner cities fear us backwoods rural savages.

All I can say is when things go really upside down and the cities fall it WILL be rural America that resurrects America.

Movies like “The Postman” sometimes tend to actually become prophetic I believe.

“The inner cities fear us backwoods rural savages”. Damn right. Those idiots are not self reliant and have gotten very comfortable being dependant on others. Problem with the dim party is that the inner cities voting is taken over by acorn and federal spending goes to those cities. The rural folks get left out of the deal while having to pay higher taxes. My case is anecdotal, but common. I left the big city in 1989 when I figured out that the taxpayers were getting soaked more and more to pay for services that I received no benefit. My property taxes were raised unbelievably year after year, while schools got worse, the roads went unrepaired, crime went up and the city responded by raising taxes on those left paying. Finally, I decided to hell with this and moved out. The big cities have become a mess because the city leaders think that no one is mobile and they can keep on taxing those that still pay. Eventually, it becomes apparent that they will never let up and will break your finances. I now live in a rural area and have BETTER police/fire response, MUCH less crime and increasing property value with property taxes that are very visible. I can directly see where my taxes are going and my family and community benefit from them. They aren’t taxing me and sending the money to buy votes to raise my taxes again. I would much rather take my chances out in the country than ever live in a big city again.

Very true, the ‘hood, the barrio and the elitist liberal snobs in the city are very petrified.

However, we conservatives in the city, on the fronts lines, engaging the liberals on their own turf,(DAILY)consider the good,conservative country folks our brothers-in-arms.
