I also posted this on the Fort Worth site.

Here's the deal, while I have plenty of friends who are conservative, I really don't want to live in a ultra-conservative area, that's the truth. I am not extreme liberal or anything, I just don't want to be the only one in my community with a Obama sign on my lawn, and I certainly don't want to get dirty looks as people drive by my home.

So, my husband I are looking at Grapevine, Flower Mound, Keller, but also Burleson.

I would appreciate your opinions and help !

There were Obama signs everywhere.
I live in a primarily coservative area, and had my McCain Palin sign trampled on bu Obama vandals. But there were a few Obama signs up here(actually quite a few) and a few of them got vandalized as well.
DOn't worry too much about politics, DFW is a very moderate tolerant area.
The Countryside is less so, but DFW is ...if it'll make you feel better Dallas county went for Obama.

Of the 4 cities you mention, I think Burleson would be the most conservative since it's heavily populated by long time Texas Residents. The other 3 cities are comprised of a lot of transplants so you'll get a bigger variety of opinions.

Thanks for the info CMDallas ! Of course I'm not happy to hear about signs getting trampled, but I am glad to hear that there seems to be a mix of both, and that works for me !

We visited the area in the summer and Grapevine was at the top of our list, but it seems to be a bit more expensive than the other areas. I would be fine with a conservative area, as long as it wasn't extreme. Is Burleson considered ultra-conservative ?

Dallas County voted more Democrat than Republican. You might want to move inside Dallas County (although North Dallas voted more Republican).

Short answer... Yes. Longer answer.. It is EXTREMELY Culturally conservative.

See for example this famous case: (If not easily offended by talk of adult novelties)

I'm sure it is a nice place in many regards, but the people I know who have lived there, including my fellow libertarian/Buckley/Goldwater type conservatives have left ASAP.

Wow ! Reminds me of that movie, The Stepford Wives ! Not to mention, it just so happens that only last week, I was planning on attending one of those exact same parties, but I wasn't able to in the end, only because I had something else come up. I actually googled the case to see what happened. I am glad to see that the case was dismissed and the law was subsequently made invalid. As it should be ! Thanks for the info.
