What's wrong with being a first time poster? You were once one.

All the knowledge of the world couldn't possibly be contained in us established posters, could it?

C-D isn't an exclusive club.

No matter what the journey, it all begins with the first step.

As a New Yorker, you don't the difference between dry cold and wet cold? Dry cold is much more comfortable than the wet cold that terrorizes the East Coast at times. That wet cold goes right through to your bones.

The downtown area of Minneapolis has been heavily gentrified, and it fans down to Franklin and next down to Lake Street, and some of that has already happened.

Who would have thought that one day that Harlem would be attractive to whites/yuppies! And now they're even redeeming the Bronx. One day having a Bronx address will be fashionable once again. And a light rail line extending down Lake Street would be a big boom to Lake Street, always happens in any city with light rail, the rail stops become mini-cities.

Stand your ground and fight for your city. Don’t let vandals continue to destroy what you worked for.

T, you can't run from liberalism. Public "education" throughout America is decidedly left, every university in America is decidedly left. I suppose you can run away from Chisago, but inevitably it's pushing to every corner of this once-fine nation.


I would say move to Canada, or even Europe, where I'm guessing your ancestors are from, but those places are what America is going to look like, top to bottom - one-party rule like California - in due time.


I'm sorry, it's just the truth. You gotta bunker down and stand up for what you believe in and what is right, where you are.

Have any of you been to Woodbury lately? Sweet jesus the forced subsidized housing out there has turned that decent little town into a unidentifiable third world nation.



And I regretfully informed some of my family that just got a place in Stillwater that the same thing is happening in that once-fine town.

Go on Wikipedia and look at the demographics of the area in 1970 and now and you figure it out.

I was also liberal Democrat by birth, then woke up some point around my 35th birthday and said what the hell I am doing??
Answer this. How would demographics make you (you personally) turn into a conservative?
