in the Red wilderness...my partner and I met another Democrat

[w8liftinglady]

...we were shopping in a health food store in Red Hell,and overheard a woman looking for honey for her dog-rescue/animal rehab.
my partner took her aside and referred her to a local farmer who got his from the source.
we talked about the fate of pets due to the economy...and I just blurted.."So how do you feel about the latest elections?"

"well,I've been a teacher for 40 years...and it's going to hell in a handbasket"

We all hugged with joy to meet another stranded in the wilderness.

Welcome to Red Hell,folks.It ain't gonna change unless we speak out and stay strong.

Peace.

1. living in one of the reddest counties in the whole country, I know exactly what you mean.

[lector]

2. red county

Then you must live in Panama City FL. REDNECK capital of the world with the distinction of being the sphincter of Alabama.

[niyad]

10. no, in CO--home of fungus (aka, focus on the family) new life, etc

a county that hasn't had one single dem on the county commission in nearly 40 years, and only one dem on city council in about that time.

[w8liftinglady]

11. wow..you ARE close to my county..in mindset...it is like the plague

3. I can so relate with your story here.

Good to know that I'm not the only one who rejoices in finding another blue dot in the sea of red I live in.

7. Now you know you aren't alone...long distance hug...!

4. Empathize!

I live in the county where Ken Buck is DA. Had the rest of the state voted with this county, Buck would be senator and our governor-elect would be Tom Tancredo. Ew.

[niyad]

9. that possibility had me seriously looking at moving to another state---or planet.

14. Luckily...

Colorado also has the largest population of non-believers in America, two very liberal cities, and a lot of Hispanics who will not tolerate being second-class citizens in their own states. I hear it's beautiful, but I live so far away I may as well be on anothe rplanet.

5. My world became a red hell with the elections. After nearly 100 years as a Dem district,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas%27s_17th_congressional_district">TX-17 just elected it's first republican't. x(

I'm sick about it. :puke:

And now I'm in Red Hell with you, my friend. :grr:


Love the story!

[w8liftinglady]

6. awwww-you have my condolences...it's hard NOT to puke.

just stay strong,my friend...we will overcome this...

hopefully it will not take as long as the wars have...

8. Cheers from Oklahoma...

where Sharia Law Doesn't Rule and women are treated like second class citizens!

[w8liftinglady]

12. man,you treat your gals good there...Second class!

[a la izquierda]

13. heck yeah!

it's amazing i don't have to ask my husband permission to go out!

15. You know you're in Red Country when all the Dairy Queens broadcast FOX News

Seriously? I'm trying to make my way through a Dilly Bar and you have to show me Bill O'Reilly's mug? What's the matter with you people?!

[w8liftinglady]

16. LOL..you must have been to the one on I-45...oh,you mean there's MORE!?

Fox news to the max in DFW...every hospital waiting room,every oil change place,every restaurant(except when Nascar is on)....

[derby378]

17. Believe me, there's a LOT more

And they extend at least as far south as Aransas Pass, for cryin' out loud.

At least it hasn't spread to Buc-ee's yet. :rofl:

[w8liftinglady]

18. hehe...I know-i worked in one in west texas a LONG time ago...

[derby378]

19. Don't get me wrong

I love Dairy Queen. My mom always took us to DQ after school when we were little. But I'm confident that when you worked at DQ, that restaurant didn't broadcast Sean Hannity's face in hi-def during your stay.

[w8liftinglady]

20. LOL...NO!...i believe I would have tossed my cone!
