I lol'd at this statement.

What the hell kinda part of Tyler are you living in and what state are you talking about?

Hey Moderator cut: inappropriate language,

Indiana is what I was talking about. You better watch your mouth. I was responding to this person about Indiana and that's why I thought it was funny.

It's common sense when you know Texas is conservative anyway. I would be very dumb if I said Texas was very liberal.

I'd say cities along I35 tend to be more liberal than conservative.

Fort Worth and Waco both shoot that one down. OKC shoots that down too. Otherwise, yes, but then again, cities as a whole tend to be more liberal than conservative.

I made the statement wrong; I meant these areas tend to not be as conservative as other cities in Texas.

I feel Waco is overhyped about how conservative it is.

The OP should refrain from the political provocations, especially when most of what he said was nothing more than a bunch of bumper sticker slogans.

I lived in Oklahoma for over 20 years and now live in Dallas. Oklahoma is more conservative and will continue to be that way for the long-term. The only areas of Oklahoma which aren't in-your-face conservative are Norman, and a couple of neighborhoods in Tulsa and OKC. Dallas has more diversity, and not just in the ethnic sense. People are moving here from all over the country.

In 2008, Dallas County went for Obama by 15 points. The city went for him by 30 points. Dallas County still barely went for Obama even if you were to remove the actual city of Dallas, which makes most of the first ring suburbs moderate. Not a single county in OK came close to voting for Obama.

That being said, a conservative would feel right at home in most areas of Texas outside of Travis, Dallas, Bexar, Harris counties, and maybe a couple of neighborhoods in Ft. Worth. Even then, I don't think many would think of themselves as a fish out of water.

I moved from Ca to houston a few years ago. While its mostly conservative in the City its not as much. At least you can go to gun shows and buy a gun for cash and not register it or have anyone know about it.

Well hstfan, I prefaced my question with an apology for settin you off so I wont be repetitious on that note. Conservatives deal in reality and every thing I asked and/or mentioned is rooted in the truth pain-full as it may be. I was speaking to my conservative brothers and sisters for info, I already knew what libs would say so I didn't see any need from refraining from the truth. I find it fruitless to discuss/debate with libs, I just want to be left alone and mind my own business and I'll let you mind yours. BTW, conservative bumper stickers= snap shots of truth, but then you interjected the admonition to refrain from political provocations and then sling one your self in pseudo lib fashion. Anywho thanks for the helpful info on this issue, I'll give it some consideration. Loving all peoples as Gods special creation, bman.
