My roots in Idaho go back 101 years, so I am much more Idahoan than most everybody else in the state. And my politics (and my wife’s politics) are helping push Idaho even MORE in the conservative direction.
There IS a lot of resentment toward out-of-staters in ID. You have to prove your bona fides.
She was a wet dream for me on the Dick Van Dyke show
"Your too white to make it afterall!"
Have you been to portland Maine and compared how it is now to what it used to be?
I actually have been studying Chinese for about a year and a half. Work on memorizing Chinese characters at night to take my mind off of all the c**p that is going on in our country. Also have studied Korean for about 3 years. Understand Japanese but too embarrassed to speak it.
Minneapolis is not, in any way that matters, part of the United States.
Real Americans should leave. The commies and leftists should stay there and crumble with it.
Maybe, but what normal person could live in that craphole?
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Sorry for this archaic reference but your inclusion of the Jacobins (and by connection, with France’s Louis XIV) made me think we may need a “Marlborough” quality LEADER to retake our country. Perhaps at great cost. Donald Trump may be our time’s Duke of Marlboro.
I’d like to take this opportunity to invite all Freepers who are looking to escape blue states, to take a serious look at Alabama. Our state is deep red and is not on the radar of leftists fleeing blue state crapholes. Believe it or not, Alabama is a beautiful state with everything from beaches to prairies to mountains. Taxes are among the lowest in the country; housing and acreage are very affordable. Please don’t let the media portrayals of us give you pause. Check us out! PM me if you’d like.
I live in a Republican town in a Republican borough in a Republican state. I simply can’t, in any way, relate to her difficulties. What’s going on in Minneapolis simply doesn’t exist here.
The same can be said about the small State of Maryland...the politics so liberal it is disgusting...Sten Hoyer almost 83 and he still thinks he is a spokesperson for the State..and all the other liberal jackass running this State.. smh...so very sad...
I truly believe the residents of Maryland want Freedom from these liberals..and I would not be a bit surprised that the support is fake and phony as other Liberal States...THEY LIE, CHEAT, AND STEAL...
WHEN WILL THIS NATION WAKE UP???
If it was DemocRATS, I can only hope she's learned her lesson.
My message to the decent people currently living in these cities...
You can’t save it.
Get out now while you can still get a buck.
Get far away, and stay away.
If you work there, commute.
Just leave and close the door behind you.
I actually have been studying Chinese for about a year and a half.

That’s very impressive. I never really became bilingual although I did get close to it after six semesters of Spanish.
LOL...yeah, she should have tried to be less white. A grumpy old frump, perpetually pissed off at the world and everything in it, demanding payoffs from everybody, nose rings and tats, mysterious “gender” — that would have been a real hit show.
When it’s your life-long home, it’s hard to leave. Your friends and family are there. Your familiar surroundings are there. You stay and put up with the crap. Then the crap gets worse. You think “It cannot possibly get any worse” and you stick around. Then the next event happens that drives you deeper into the car-hole. You keep thinking “this is the bottom, no way it can get worse,” but it always does. They keep turning up the burner on the frog-pot until FINALLY some leave.
The poem was written in 1919 in the aftermath of the First World War and the beginning of the Irish War of Independence that followed the Easter Rising, at a time before the British Government decided to send in the Black and Tans to Ireland. Yeats used the phrase "the second birth" instead of "the Second Coming" in his first drafts.The poem is also connected to the 1918–1919 flu pandemic: In the weeks preceding Yeats's writing of the poem, his pregnant wife Georgie Hyde-Lees caught the virus and was very close to death. The highest death rates of the pandemic were among pregnant women—in some areas, they had up to a 70 percent death rate. While his wife was convalescing, he wrote "The Second Coming."
