Hi, new member from the barren wasteland of IL
« 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!

Welcome!  I served my time for a number of years in the People's Republic of Chicago as well as Evanston.

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

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.
