Here in the totally Democrat-run state of IL, a 66% income tax just hit our paychecks last week. As you can imagine, anyone with any sense has spent the last week discussing to which state we should flee. My friends and I have been fantasizing about a conservative commune where everyone showers, no one would starve (because we hunt) and there is no wife-swapping. It’s a fun exercise to think about. Several of us believe a solution to our partisan problems (before it descends into civil war) might just be to part ways with the American Left and set up traditional American government in the already conservative states. The first goal should be in beefing up these already rational and taxpayer-friendly states with more like-minded citizens. Too many of us are separated and living in enemy territory, forced into an ideological closet from which we dare not exit for fear of public humiliation and shunning.
Living in a solid blue state, it is nearly impossible not to have been accosted at a cocktail party while trying to enjoy some shrimp by a (literally) foaming at the mouth leftist who accidentally found out you voted for Bush. And God forbid it should be discovered you once worked for Rush Limbaugh (like me). In that scenario, not one person would come to your defense if your accuser threw you through a plate glass window. I’m not a bumper sticker person (too hard to scrape off) but I’ve known a few brave souls who’ve had their cars scratched for advertising their conservative beliefs. There must be better places to live. I’ve come to the conclusion that now might be the time to start looking. The following are the best and worst places in the country for a conservative...

I like the idea of New Hampshire, but from what I’ve gathered, there are too many trees, too much snow, and very little evidence of civilization, measured by how far you have to drive to find an all-night Safeway.
Ain’t No Damned Safeway in my area, trees are good as is snow keeps you damned flat landers out! :-)
Thank you so much. I sincerely appreciated it because I seriously did not understand. Your explanation is spot on and I appreciate it.

Considering Relocating? Think about Colorado Springs…
If you or a CONSERVATIVE person is considering relocating, I’d invite you to tell them about this family values oasis. I’d personally suggest Northern Colorado Springs as being the best and the most conservative.
And just to lay my cards on the table, I am not in the Real Estate business and make nothing off anyone moving here. I just know that Soros and others have dumped millions into Colorado and have succeeding in taking over the state government for the first time in decades recently.
The Springs loses out to Denver and Boulder in the state elections but it is still close enough to make a difference.
Pass this along.
18. El Paso County, Colo.
Largest city: Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs is the right-wing stronghold of Colorado. The Air Force Academy and NORAD are based in the county. About 19 percent of the population are civilian veterans, one of the highest rates in the nation. The other conservative influences are social: Focus on the Family is located in Colorado Springs, as are many other parachurch organizations. Colorado Springs was named by Money Magazine as the best big city to live in 2006.

Outside Magazine just ranking Colorado Springs as the best place to live.

Outside Magazine lists as a drawback that it might be get this TOO CONSERVATIVE for some people.
As you know, Money Magazine consistently usually ranks it number 1 as well.

In the 08 elecrion OK wa rhe omly state where Barry lost EVERY county.
I signed up with these folks for the 2011 heating season: Our Town Energy Alliance, and just switched to Eastern from Amerigas. Amerigas was $4.94/gal and Eastern is providing us with propane at $2.95/gal.
What?
My recollection is fuzzy.
Let me go look.
I recall him taking Tulsa and just chalked it up to North Tulsa.
Don’t count on me to be a witness, my memory sucks.
Sure enough the entire state went Red or for Sarah.

If you hit the print buton on the page, the whole article loads on one page. No problem.
If you want to compare socialism to capitalism, visit St Johnsbury then Littleton NH. I’m in Florida now and as
a show of my solidarity to my New England friends and family I rubbed an ice cube on my forehead. Wow it was cold.
Thank you! I will definitely try that.
Small steam plant or gas turbine?

“The problem is, conservatives establish nice communities, schools, business districts. Before long liberals come running our way to escape their own policies and constituencies. Just like pests at a picnic, no matter where you go they are certain to follow. And they will eff it up, no matter what. It happens everywhere, it’s not a fluke, it’s the inherent nature of liberalism.” ......
Sounds like my sister and her husband who live in Coeur d’Alene. They’ve been yammering for about 30 years now that Californians move to C d’A and then complain when things are different form California. They try to get new laws passed, so Idaho will become just like California!

Yoda-speak.
$2.99 at a retailer here. I just got some yesterday.
That is where the parasites are concentrated: govt workers employees and welfare queens
After 5 decades in California, my husband’s company sold out and moved to Arizona. We were in CA for 19 years with the company. AZ was an adjustment but we are liking it here more and more.
Lets also not forget that it is in Flori-duh, which has decaying and depressed real estate developments, some of the worst schools on a statewide basis in the US, a tolerant attitude towards illegals and their evil spawn, and which voted for Clinton and Obama, and almost voted for Gore.
“...that’s like saying the people are the problem...”

Yes, the people ARE the problem.
