There are actually quite a few city freepers. We even get together once in a blue moon. I would have thought there weren't enough conservatives in Manhattan to fill a booth in a diner, but I was wrong.
And, while liberals make up about 70% of this town, 30% of 10 million is a lot of people.
Who all feel like they're they only conservative in the entire city. That's how I felt before I found FR, and I realized there were a whole bunch of other people like me during the rallies after Election 2000. People driving down Broadway would see our totally-unexpected Bush/Cheney signs and go NUTS--cheering, honking their horns, pumping their fists. We made their day.
And I feel like things could change here just a little. Something is different. I suspect there are many people out there who are "mad as hell and not going to take it anymore". They might even *think* they are democrats.
