I would think that even a soi-disant 'conservative' would be cheered by the news that Leadville, a city largely populated by dreadheads and other stereotypical Democrat voters, would turn to folks who actually espouse American values, instead of repackaged Marxist horsesh*t.
It's a shame that your devotion to faction blinds you to what is an affirmation of traditional American values of 'live and let live'.
The confluence of conventional 'conservatism' with garden-variety 'socialism' is disturbing to those of us who hold that true American conservatism is essentially libertarian, although undogmatically so.
Okay...congratulations to this small CO city for not electing DEMS.
