Greetings :)
« on: January 04, 2011, 04:05:11 PM »
Long-time conservative, first-time poster.

I'm a refugee from the east coast, having lived all but the last four years of my life there (28+ in NJ, 2ish in Massachusetts), and life there really helped to cement conservative values and perspectives in my mind. Though I miss home, I'm happy to live where I don't have to jump through near so many government hoops in order to own a gun to protect myself and where the welfare state is a bit smaller (even though as an unemployed man the government would like me to think otherwise, heh).

I won't drone on, but it's nice to be here :)

Thanks. Never did have much of one, anyway. Didn't live far enough north to pick up that grating faux-NYC accent, Thank God.

Gillet, Wisconsin. For now, anyway.

It's nice up here, but the job market SUCKS. I haven't been out of work this long since I was 13.

Welcome to CC.

I grew up in Janesville, WI and had to see where Gillet was located.  Way up by Green Bay.  Such a small town too.  No wonder why the job market isn't too hot up there.  Hope you find a job soon.  I am also unemployed.

Heh, I have to look up Janesville to see where it was located.

Yeah, I've gone as far as Appleton and Oshkosk for work. Still, nothing. I swear I must be unmarketable out here or somethin' ;)

Good luck finding work for you, too! 26 months and counting...

Not bad; one of the more Republican-leaning counties, if I recall rightly. Never visited, though.

Thankfully yes, but we've had an influx of Democrats over the years, but we're still considered heavily Republican.

I'm half-surprised any county back home leans Republican at all. Praise be you guys have managed to hold out as long as you did :)

I remember back in late '04, when I had a job driving a truck for a printing press in Lawrenceville. I ran up to North Bergen at least once a day, five days a week, and I had found an American flag in the Isuzu I drove most of the time. I hung it up behind the seats in the cab, would listen to Rush and Hannity loud and with the windows down, and used to smirk, wondering how many Democrats might have heard me and bristled at it.

I still smirk about that. Good times.
