Title: Hi, new member from the barren wasteland of IL
Post by: Beau Geste on August 28, 2010, 05:27:19 PM: Hello Conservative Cave members!

I'm a gal from IL looking for some great conservative discussion. In a nutshell, I'm a Jeffersonian conservative supporting that little "r" Republicanism and follower of the Austrian economic model. I tend to support the old-school values and get very catty when the government starts treading on my individual liberties :P

Anything else you want to know, just ask!

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Post by: Beau Geste on August 30, 2010, 05:10:17 PM: Attending. Maybe not so much everyday since my lectures are also podcast. Next year will be a helluva time when I do my surgery rotation :(

You think you were in liberal hell? Check this stat from my neighborhood:

Quote
The area is one of the most Democratic of the country: In 2004, John Kerry won 22,800 votes (97.47%) to only 529 (2.26%) for George W. Bush.

I lived in the NW 'Burbs of Chicagoland (Schaumburg, specifically) for a couple of years. I escaped in 1999, just before Y2K didn't happen.
