is there any conservative places in NH

[maxxoccupancy]

What the hell? Kensington, Rye, and Portsmouth seem to have nothing but Hillary, Obama, Edwards signs up. Seabrook had some Ron Paul, Romney, Gravel, and Huckabee signs up. I'm not sure that Romney is all that "conservative."

I think that most people in state and local politics want a "conservative town" as code for, "not one of those settling places for tax and spend liberals." My place is Seabrook has a property tax bill of $4100 per year. In Durham, it would be almost $9K per year. Most people mean that you don't have permits for every tree or bush you want to transplant, or jails made out of recycled materials, like in Seattle. Liberals are not considered very practical, and come up with some pretty draconian land use restrictions.

As I see it you were paralleling American Conservatives with Stalinist Style of Communism and then you took it upon yourself to say Conservatives in West Texas wanted Jerry Falwell for President with God as his chief adviser. I felt it was kinda condescending on your part and I too agree with sciamedia that your tone does resemble Bill Clinton's "doublespeak". It is good to know others understand what doublespeak is.

I shall be more verbose in future. Mere observations don't use worlds like absurd or ridiculous or Goebbels.

thanks in advance for any help

If you want conservative get away from Mass. Theyre exporting liberalism to southern NH & VT as their people migrate north looking for cheaper living. They need to because their liberal policies increase spending & taxes.

Conservative means alot of things these days but the bottom line is, in America a conservative stance is one that lets the individual care for himself & not rely on big Govt for everything. Thats how the country was founded & what it was meant to be. When I see a MA plate with its "Spirit of America" logo it makes me wanna barf. They tax their people till they need to leave & then the mental midgets go about transforming their new home into what they left. How can a place that continually elects Kennedy to represent them have any values let alone traditional family values.

But, get away from Mass & its a beautiful place with rolling hils, mountains, farms & small country towns that are as conservative as anyplace you could hope to find.

Great post-especially the part about Teddy! The man should be in jail but these people continually vote him in. Talk about messed up.

But you see, Durham IS Conservative. It also votes about 60% dem. It easily passes the conservative test in terms of traditional values, maintaining the character of the place and resiting change in the form of big-box stores and social spend-parties (like million dollar community centers). However, it has the UNH campus and 12,000 students. They must pay for the town infrastructure that supports that population but don't get anything from UNH in taxes.

I attended UNH-Durham for a semester, and I can't say that I found the town to be any bastion of conservatism. I really think that most people say conservative as code for, "not run by a group of tax and spend liberals."

I'm not saying that every progressive candidate is corrupt or rubberstamps every tax and spending increase. The point is that many people have moved to a town, only to find their taxes going through the roof. They then have to sell and move somewhere affordable.

I know what you mean about the scenery in Littleton -- that was our last stop -- we miss it very much!

Where did you live in NH before coming to Spokane? We live a little further north of you and are looking to move to NH within the next year. Any suggestions? I do want to live in a family friendly area, we are in our late twentys and do want to expand our family once we get settled, so good school districts in a rural town is what we basically looking for.

Thank you! dzmjp

Spokane conservative? SNL actually said that Connecticut was a bastion of conservatism.

My observation (attending city/county council/legislative meetings, seeing voting records and reading proposed legislation) of liberal politicians is that definitely have a very clear set of objectives, and that they are, by and large, seeking to turn the US into a kind of North American version of the Soviet Union. I'm not trying to be cynical or partisan, but most successful Democratic politicians are closet socialists or communists. We have to be adults about this, and face this issue with both eyes open.

Virtually every city, country, state, and country that these fabian socialists have taken over has been turned into the same type of socialistic economic and political system, so modern liberalism really has to be equated with soviet style socialism, not tolerance or open mindedness. Every problem in society (global warming, crime, education, health care, income discrepancy, illiteracy, poverty, racism, soil conservation, etc.) is held out as yet another motivator for implementing more of this agenda.

I make no effort to defend the Republican Party (which is openly the party of business), nor am I stating that every Democrat or progressive is a socialist. Still, liberal majorities implement soviet era policies at every level of government. I am simply pointing out that most people who say conservative town tend to mean, "not run by a bunch of closet socialists."
