I've been accused of being more conservative than most of the locals. Reality is that I don't give a crap about most of the social stuff, but out of respect I vote with the "country Texans" on them. I have really become a huge individual States rights person as I think it is all that is left for us. Washington, D.C. Does not represent us, and the politicians represent their States population centers and not the invested land owners. So, I quit talking about it and moved to a place that represents my beliefs. I simply redistributed California money to Texas, and do so every month. Colorado MAY wake up, but I doubt it. California, Chicago and NY are doomed and many progressive utopian cities will look like third world countries in my lifetime. I am in Texas stalling to hopefully give my kid a chance.
