Checking in from Manhattan's Lower East Side
« on: March 10, 2011, 07:18:57 PM »
Hi all.  

By respecting (love) myself, I can respect (love) others.  This means I can hear other people's view points without flipping out and leaving the state like a Wisconsin state senator.  

And I need that patience because I'm surrounded by ... I'll keep it clean and just refer to the earless and transparent excuse-making machines I swim through every day as Democrats.

And I'm happy to report that here in the land of hipsters and naughtily rebellious trust-funders overt Obama worship has at least gone underground.  Aside from the occasional jab at Fox News (liberals do a better job of keeping me abreast of Fox news than does Fox) politics is the last thing Manhattanites want to talk about.  

I'm not saying Obama has lost a single vote here in NYC, but it's clear to me that the masses realize what many of us knew all along - the savior magician is merely a trickster.

I don't know about you, but this gives me hope for change.

Actual Lower East Side or more Soho/East Village?

I used to get to do weekends in NYC when I had time (and money).  No way in hell I'd ever live in NYC, even if I could afford it.  Couple of shows, a nice dinner, then back to my quiet and humble abode.

But welcome, flatlander.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I thought SoHo was on the west side...actually seemed like the southwest side to me. Am I confused? It's always possible.

You ought to see my former soldier Laurel. She lives in NYC and is hot as hell. Looks like a cross between Tura Satana and Betty Paige. Conservative to the core. Well, she did spend 8 years in the US Army afterall. Would have made Sergeant until I dropped a trailer on her leg.

Welcome, ByeShea.  :cheersmate:

Happened to be Facebooking a little last night, something I do maybe once a week, and I ran across some of that very same tripe that you'd mentioned.

Nary a word about Lord Zero, but there is all kinds of hatred spewed toward conservatism.

Thank God for that little X up in the top right corner of the screen.

No malicious intent behind the query; it's just as marketing director for conservativecave, I like to know what works, and what doesn't work, in bringing people here.

Someone forwarded me a DemocraticUnderground quote as highlighted on NewsBusters; then someone in comments mentioned this site. 

THEN I looked at this site and was sufficiently satisfied no one takes themselves too seriously, so I piped up.

Most of your post went over my head, except for "is hot as hell". 

I guess I wouldn't mind embedding her company.

She's a conservative, that lives in NYC. The rest was immaterial.

....but if Shea has anything to do with the Mets, you two wouldn't get along. She's die-hard Yankme.

Yes, it does.  And our romance was nice (and hot) while it lasted but whoever she is, she is what's wrong with America.

Yup--New Hampshire, or Cow Hampshire as some refer to my humble home.

Hey, at least you're within spitting distance of Little Italy.  I loved the Festival of San Gennaro when I was there for it one year.  Can't even walk on the streets then, but ah, the food...
