Thank you, virtual rep to you! I decided not to post the video I had up here just now. It was good though. But the conservative twins have lots more videos up on YT to enjoy. As well as many other black conservatives. It's an awakening.

Conservative Twins, Anthony Brian Logan, Candace Owens, Terrence K. Williams, Officer Tatum...

Just a sampling of great, freedom loving Americans who happen to be black and who refuse to conform to the radical left's disgusting and yes, RACIST tactics. They are out there and together we are all going to save this country from the ruthless, socialist mobs and their media enablers.

America! Freedom! Forever!

I couldn't agree more. Thanks for listing those folks. I am subscribed to all of them. Terrence Williams' video where he is eating chicken, and telling it like it is was the other video I had up here. It is excellent, but I didn't want to press my luck, lol. Candace Owens' interview with him is good too. I love these people. It gives me hope for the future.

Speaking of riots/protestors.... have you had much of it in Arkansas? We have had some in Florida. Tampa was terrible. They were starting fires, stopping cars, graffiti, etc.

I'm glad to hear there are a few open-minded Liberals that post. I don't understand anyone today that could possibly check the box for any Dem but that is their prerogative and I respect that.

I would have never, ever thought that I would select a place to move to based on politics but here we are. Now that is probably my #1 priority.

I've looked at Cookeville, Tenn. but they have the Nashville issues, and a few places in Arizona but they are turning blue quickly, and I really am liking Arkansas. I can't tell you how much I appreciate y'all helping me and I am thankful I haven't been attacked on this board. That tells me the people of Arkansas are kind and that means a lot.

So, once again, thank you for your kindness.
AZ is going downhill fast! I moved here from MA to get away from the crazy liberals and now we're infested with them here! They're coming from CA,WA and IL and bringing their liberal ideology with them. I never understood why they want to move away and change the new place to the same hell hole they're leaving? I mean most are leaving for a lower COL yet they turn around and vote for the same people who created the mess you're leaving. Another thing I don't understand is if the hate America so much why don't they just leave! There are plenty of other socialist countries that would welcome them with open arms.

I have been doing a lot of research too so I'm glad I stumbled onto this post. It looked like AR is one of the last true conservative states and hopefully it stays this way for a very long time. I'll admit I hate humidity but I will learn to live with it again if it means being is a free state around real conservative people. As much as I love AZ I can already see what's coming and want to be prepared for what's hopefully my last and final move. I'm about 3-4 years from retiring so I'd rather stick it out here being self employed and already established than start all over again. We'll be making a trip out there within the next 6-8 months but that could change come Nov,it might be sooner than later. I'm just glad to see there are other conservatives looking to move here too. TRUMP 2020!!!

Have a cousin and another friend who retired and moved to AZ. I think both regret it now. Now because they are not happy with AZ, but the politics are not what they were when moving there.

Despite a lot of AZ being conservative, this series of incidents, over a span of a few years, led me to believe that it wasn't going to go well, in the long term:
https://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/hom...ble-study.aspx
Quote:
In 2007, the Salmans first tangled with Phoenix city authorities after a neighbor complained they were holding “religious meetings” at their home. They were informed that their Bible study and worship could only be held in a building that conformed to Phoenix commercial code requirements. Salman says he made changes to the house to comply with requirements as best as he could, but then the city changed the code.

That was the beginning of what has since become an ongoing battle between Salman and the city of Phoenix. According to code enforcement officials, if Salman holds “worship gatherings” on his private five-acre property, it is officially considered to be “an occupancy” and must be subject to commercial code regulations.

In combating the city’s regulations, Salman has argued that the meetings are not public. “The only people who go in that building are my wife and me and our guests,” he says. “People have a right to gather at their home and on their property with their guests. Why can’t we have people as our guests?”
I suspect that if non clergy had held regular parties of the same size, it would not have been a problem, but they showed that the local government in one of AZ's largest cities was antagonistic towards the Church, which is an early sign of "inclining to the left." (Ecc 10:2)

Thanks for your comment. See that is what I was really getting worried about with AZ. We love it there and have been there many times but each time we would go we noticed it getting ore crowded, road rage was getting riduclous and people were getting nastier. Once we were at Embassy hotel and even the housekeepers were nasty and would look at you and throw daggers with their eyes. I was shocked how rude they were. But we were hoping that if we bought land in Williams or someplace remote it would be better but the more I looked into it it seemed like it was infested with Liberals. So I don't want to leave my home here because of Liberals and move to another Liberal state. If McSally looses to Kelly then it is over for AZ.

So my research has taken my search to Arkansas. We too were planning a trip to Arkansas around Sept. but now with the riots we are apprehensive. Do you have any specfic areas that you are looking at? I want to be around the Ozarks but found a little town, called Cherokee Villiage that isn't in the Ozarks but looked Conservative enough for me.

I hope you post your findings after your trip. We also might go earlier if things get too dicey as we get closer to the election.

I'm conservative, too, but your fixation on finding a conservative utopia is both unrealistic and unhealthy, IMO. If rampant (and radical) liberalism can spread to formerly conservative oases such as Arizona, Texas, Georgia, etc., what makes you think it won't eventually infect Arkansas? Yes it's true, at this moment Arkansas remains one of the most overall conservative states.....but just a few years ago those other states could claim the same and look at them now. The only reason Arkansas hasn't already been inundated with leftists is because the state still has one of the smaller populations and has for the most part continued to fly under the radar as a great place to live in comparison with those larger states that have been taking in transplants in much greater numbers for decades due to them all featuring major metropolitan areas with plentiful, good paying jobs, lower taxes and cheap housing. That was then and this is now. As others have mentioned, the big cities in this country are lost. They're gone. Leftist strongholds, all of them.....descending into chaos and anarchy. People and businesses are going to flee those places in droves (it's already happening), and guess what? Not all of them are going to be conservatives, because as unhinged as they are even most liberals don't want to live in that kind of mess, even though they helped to create it. They love watching the chaos on tv and talking it up online, but when it actually comes to their front door - whoops! They are out of there, because supporting and contributing to radical liberalism inevitably leads to being eaten by your own. When they run out of primary targets the only way to satisfy their appetite for destruction is to turn on each other.....and who wants to get eaten, right? So knowing this, where do you think those who choose to run as you've decided to will go? That's right....just like you they're gonna look for a nice quiet spot where they can resettle, only their politics won't change because they're too stupid and filled with partisan hatred to even realize what they did to the place they had to flee. The fact of the matter is this: If Arkansas, particularly Northwest Arkansas, continues to grow at its present rate and even faster - which everyone agrees is going to be the case - it is going to become more liberal with each passing year, same as all the other places that become popular relocation attractions. You can't filter liberals, leftists, whatever you want to call them, out of that big of a migration. To think otherwise is simply burying your head in the sand. We still want to move there, because we just love the state and its features across the board, but I am resigned to the fact that by the time all my kids are grown Arkansas is not going to be the same place politically as it is now ( primarily because the leftist media has basically been allowed to take over this country to the point they are now the ones dictating policy). I guess what I'm getting at is I hope you're not planning this move based on political climate alone, because although it would be great, I don't believe the spread of liberalism is going to be halted anytime in the near future and the undeniable trends point to even the most conservative states, i.e. Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, being next in line to fall beneath its grim shadow.

Believe me... no one hopes I'm wrong about this more than yours truly....but I'm just calling it as I see it for now. In the meantime, don't forget to look into all the other reasons Arkansas has become such a desirable relocation destination. It's a beautiful place that is really on the rise in so many areas....and we love its geographical location bordering southeastern, southwestern and midwestern states.

Would there possibly be another route north through Florida that would take you through quieter areas detouring around the trouble spots? It would add mileage, but give some measure of safety so you could still visit.

I agree, except that I don't think it is unhealthy for us to try to maintain conservative "utopia's"
I think it is necessary. (I don't think it will be a utopia, as we will probably all be a bit on the "poor" side. But there is a good in being poor and honest, rather than rich and dishonest.)

Oh, and BTW, you missed TN.

Balkanization, and conservative control of those states, along with N.H., Idaho, and maybe one or two others, seems to be our only hope. No, someone should not choose AR based solely on politics, but politics should be a necessary component of their formula for choosing. Living is a Leftist run area, unless you choose to be part of the problem is to choose to live under tyranny. And if you choose to be part of the problem, I trust the Lord will take care of that, in the end.

The alternatives to Balkanization (and there are two of them) too horrible to discuss on open forum.
