Wow, I guess I should change political parties based on your assessment.
I didn't know that people that walk/bike, drink Starbucks, shop high end, and wear fashionable shoes were liberal. I am really enlightened and think I had better switch my political affiliation!
LOL! Spunky, you rock
I'd rep ya but it sayz I've gotta spread it around more first
So now we are getting so stupid that people think material things within a city tells them if it is conservative or liberal?
Guess I have never looked at it that way before?
If that is the case then, are the liberals trying to say that if I am in a liberal town if there are tons of bars, no churches, McDonalds on every corner, people laying on the streets and food banks?
I have never in my life heard that you can tell what a town in made up of by looking at the buildings and type of businesses in those buildings.
Hey, Lancaster... I come through your town all the time, would that be conservative or liveral then? I dont see a Wal Mart so it must be conservative then right ?????
John ******** is one person. He didn't run around the country covering up statues in museums.
John ******** is only one conservative. A friend of mine who is in HR for a big company had to talk with an employee who was assigned to work in a place that had a nude painting hanging on the wall. The employee was threatening to sue so they had to remove the painting.
Do you live in an area with a lot of fundamental Christians? I'm starting to think that you must not because a lot of these ideas seem foreign to you. There are still some branches of religion in this country that don't believe in social dancing, playing cards, drinking alcohol, etc.

Oh yeah, that reminds me. In my area, the schools weren't allowed to host dances until the 1990s. Isn't that backwards? Dancing was illegal in many of the counties surrounding Fort Smith. Today dancing is allowed but there is a very strict dress and music code and dirty dancing is not allowed. In one town, the First Baptist Church actually oversees school dances and keeps them from "crossing the line".

A friend of mine taught elementary school in an area with a lot of "fundies." Some weren't allowed to go on field trips or participate in anything "fun" because it was against their religion. This created a lot of hurdles for her since she was teaching either first or second graders and one of the ways you get them to remember things is by making learning fun.
Kansas, which was the state that decided evolution should not be taught, also has some of the funkiest liquor laws.
From the Wikipedia article: "The economic conservatives want business tax cuts and deregulation. The social conservatives want bans on gay marriage and abortion. Frank says that since the coalition formed in the late 1960s, the coalition has been "fantastically rewarding" for the economic conservatives. The policies of the republicans in power have been exclusively economic, but the coalition has caused the social conservatives to be worse off, due to these very economic policies. That, plus the fact that the social issues that this faction pushes never go anywhere after the election. According to Frank, "abortion is never outlawed, school prayer never returns, the culture industry is never forced to clean up its act."
I think the big question in picking a conservative city is: What kind of conservative are you?

My town trends conservative but we just had a major road improvement with lots of sidewalks added. And eventhough it is a smaller town we have an amazing rails to trails path over 30 miles long lake to lake.
I guess I'd better alert the mayor. We also have Starbucks and Barnies!

It sounds like your town is only socially conservative. They must be fiscally liberal -- the kind of town that would vote GWB all the tax increases he needs to keep pursuing that War in Iraq and the War on Terror and whatever else. They probably want raises for the military too (takes $$$) and more healthcare for veterans (takes $$$) and all kinds of silly stuff like that.
What's so strict? Stores are open until 9:00. Some stores are open on Sunday. You can purchase wine over the internet...
You buy liquor from state owned liquor stores. You buy beer from a beer distributor. I haven't lived in PA for a whle, but I never heard of any stores open on Sunday where one can purchase alcohol.

I live in Boulder County, Colorado. There is a lot of overt hostility to religion in Boulder proper. Colorado Springs, a bare 75 miles to the south of us, is the home of "Focus on the Family", and lots of fundies. Remember the shootings of just a few weeks ago? How quickly we forget, eh?
