cathqat Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 According to this site, I live a few blocks from the most liberal area in the state. Virginia must be a rabidly conservative state overall, then, because this is not a very liberal neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheoun Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I live in the San Francisco East Bay area, so clearly, I live in a VERY liberal area. I live near three of the most liberal cities listed on that website; I'm only 25 minutes from Berkeley and Oakland, and about 45 minutes from San Francisco. I'm also not too far from Alameda and Albany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheoun Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I also graduated from San Francisco State University -- twice -- but I am certainly not a liberal. God bless, Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azaelia Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Wow, I'm surprised to see Orono on the list instead of Portland. It makes sense because it's a university town...but I expected Portland to be worse. Hm. :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I think I'll object to the adjective . . . there's no white froth around my mouth . . . but other than that . . . yeah, Virginia is very conservative (politically) it was one of the first states in the south to swing to the Republicans in national elections - control of the state house didn't pass until about four years ago, because Democrats in Virginia would be run out of town on a rail in most liberal states.

immaculata Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I live in Illinois, home of "Vote Early Vote Often" Chicago..

[/quote] Northern Virginia (that is, the D.C. suburban area, for you out-of-staters) is the most liberal (and Yankee) part of the state. However, I think it has a much stronger conservative presence than most other similar metropolitan regions of the country (and many good Catholic parishes!). I'm in the more conservative Shenandoah Valley (to the west). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejmoe Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I live in Peoria Illinois, and the county voted for John Kerry in the election. Illinois is dominated by the highly liberal Chicago and East St. Louis, but where I am from, the Republicans have the area. Our Representative, Rep. Ray Layhood R-IL, is a very good Representative, and I really like him. I like him so much so that I am proud to be represented by him. He easily won the last election by getting 70% of the vote!!!

I presume you know where that expression comes from. I live about an hour and a half from the most "liberal" place in Ill, and spend a lot of my weekends in and around Iowa City (the most "liberal" place in Iowa). If anyone has their reasons out of wack in Iowa CIty, I doubt it would be the dems. I know a number of dems in IC, a few of whom are pro abortion and few are pro life and so forth. Being liberal is a very good thing. Like I wrote about one of the colleges I was accepted to, [quote]The school is very... proud of being liberal, parts of it I love parts of it I don't like, but as a liberal I seek to understand. To me, that is what a liberal is, someone whom disagrees with another party, yet, seeks to understand everything about it. In the latest Grinnell news letter it had a number of articles written by active Catholics on campus (as well as other minorities, i.e. internatonial students, Republicans, pro-lifers, and articles on "Being Gay at Grinnell). But what struck me was not that these groups were in the minority, I knew that they would be, but that the college and the students were proud of these groups/people in a strange way. Grinnell, like most schools, prides itself on being "diverse," whatever that word may mean. But Grinnell takes it beyond the simple "color" issue but deeper, such as into these groups. Having the pro life group on campus "contrubites to the diverstity here at Grinnell."[/quote] To me and most of the liberals I know, that is the meaning of "liberal" not this meaning some people have of a crazy big gov't baby killing terrortist scary person. And the whole scale is out of wack. Look at their factors, pah, that will give you a "good return." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
