Easy access to the Internet, satellite TV, and cappucino machines has enabled people of all political persuasions to live wherever they wish, including rural areas. My personal experiences in small towns in Arizona have been that there is a much wider range of political belief, ranging from far Right to looney-tunes Left in any small town in America. Arizona's traditional values of mind-your-own-business conservatism means that most people's progressivist whack-a-doo beliefs are at least tolerated. Small-town politics tend to be a lot more important to rural Arizonans than the latest pronouncements from on high from the once-reliable New York Times (now but a sad, diminished shadow of its former reputable self) , as local issues have proportionally more impact on their lives.

Rural Arizonans tend to be good people, who are quite capable of providing for themselves but will almost always help out a stranger if they need a hand. They don't normally make sniffy, class-based statements intended to display their supposed intellectual and moral superiority.

How do I drive mine nuts ? I brought the couch in off the lawn. I got rid of my white security light. I said "I am not a believer" and stopped going to church, I told them I have never been married, that I am allergic to diesel fumes, mud boggin' is a mindless pursuit, I hate the sound of gunshots killing snakes, and that I write dirty books, and won't let them read them.

I have no experience in Phoenix or Tucson, but as a nonresident property owner and frequent visitor to southern AZ, I would like to offer this census of the people who I met and had very good contact with all of them but one. An Ivy League PHD academic college professor, a PHD artist, two PHD electronic engineers, several Registered Nurses, several business and ranch owners, bartenders, cowboys, hippies, and drug smugglers. Except for one, each and every one made me completely welcome. Later that night he ended up in a Tucson hospital with a broken jaw.

Native Arizonans are a crusty bunch. With time and persistence, they become good friends who go the extra mile. It's a rather polarized society, in my opinion -- more extremes. Very educated-very ignorant, very rich-very poor, very-civilized -- very barbaric. . . etc.

Or maybe he was dropped out of a Fokker airplane sans parachute.

Although; the OP may have just been sarcastic and is a right winger in left wing drag.

Or, to aggravate your lib friends, do the following.

-Display your American Flag everyday or better yet a Marine flag.
-Tell them you graduated College.
-Your kids go to Private school.
-You have a fulltime job and pay for your own health care and mortgage.
-Show them your Gun collection.
-Ride to work on your Harley with no helmet.
-Listen to Country music and Ted Nugent.
-Tell them that your new Tahoe does far less damage to the enviroment then their Volkswagon Bus or 30 year old Volvo stationwagon.
-You believe in marrage and own your own home.
-Your carbon footprint for the year is less then their one trip to Paris.
-Show them your freezer full of Elk steaks that you hunted from last October.
-Show them your Solar panels because using less hydroelectricity helps save our lakes that you like to fish on.
-And finally, tell them that you don't believe that you are a victim and you create your own opportunities.

Arizona is not that bad at all. If so, please move to SoCal where the hard working tax payers would love to support you and kids while there are still some of us left.

can't wait to get back to Arizona.
