After the bailout vote in the senate, I bought a hat, a shit, and yard sign and paid for a lifetime membership to the libertarian party.
Another 2 good years in the corporate world and i’m out. time to send the wife back to work and run as libertarian for local office. This shit is out of fucking control. that may be my campaign slogan.
I’ll move to your district… where about?
Minnesota. You don’t want to live here. It’s a liberal paradise. one of the highest taxing states. buisinesses are leaving by the bus load. Most of them probably going to texas. extremely powerful teachers union. shit, were even wasting money on mass transit. I thought light rail had failed in enough communities, but I guess not.
I love MN too much to leave, despite the political mess, but if I were going to move anywhere it would be the Dallas area.
Hasn’t it also become a haven for Muslims that don’t want to integrate into the culture?[/quote]
We have quite a few Muslim Somalis. The only issues I’ve heard were cab driver refusing to take passangers at the airport that had alcohol, and refusing to touch pork after taking a jobs at a meat processing plants. The cab driver situation took care of itself. the union got goldenplump to work around the pork thing, which was kind of a joke.
There are some other general cultural issues like the prayer thing and washing their feet in toilets which make quite a mess in bathrooms
Quite some time ago we had a large influx of Hmung. It only took a gneration for assimilation. There was crazy shit at the beginning like 6 families in a single house, gardens on roofs that couldn’t support it, flooded basements as fish farms.
