    I think someplace where the moochers are threatening to make headway: Florida, Arizona, Texas, etc. The Producers in those states could use the shot in the arm.

      True. The barbarians are at the gate, but we're fighting them off. Don't judge Florida by the east coast, which is simply New York with short sleeves.

        I'm not. NY transplants to FL are n the rise. Like CA's to AZ they quickly forget why they left their blessed utopia and start changing local politics to facilitate the re-creation of their abandoned cesspool. (Over dramatic) :)

          Ain't it the truth. I'm on the west coast of FL. and so far we've been fighting off the encroachment.

            Gosh, y'all make me feel unwelcome. I have some family and friends in FL but am born, raised, and currently hunkered down in the Peoples Republik of NY (Upstate). Am seriously contemplating going Galt in East central FL (Daytona or Melbourne region). I will not encroach, but will pay my own way, including pay cash for my house, and will NEVER vote collectivist. Should I be looking in Tennessee, Texas, or Arizona instead?

              From the perspective of alignment with like minds, I'd suggest Texas (Austin excluded, although it is a nice town).

                I've been to Houston, Dallas, and Temple for business. My brother in-law is from near Dallas and he has family still there. Flew into Austin and drove to Temple once and found Austin very traffic jammed (worked in Temple for a few weeks that trip). My trips to Texas were all work and little play and didn't get to enjoy much of Texas at all, much to my disappointment. Had one free afternoon in Dallas with an engineer, who is as much a science nerd as me, and we decided to go see some dinosaur tracks. Arrived at the park just before it closed, took a quick look, then beat it back to catch a flight home.

                  Houston is as humid a place as I've ever been to. Austin is less humid for sure, although the liberal mecca of Texas. In its defense, I can say that in Austin I could have a spirited political conversation with pretty much anyone and not fear that my car was going to be keyed, etc. In Portland, that is NOT the case. This place is an asylum for uber nutcakes!

      Yeah, they'll meet at Chilcoot Charlie's. Got Alaskan Amber Ale?

          haha. J/K. I don't believe Chilcoots would entertain AS. But the Gulcher's I'm sure, would appreciate the beer and the 1/3 pound burgers that they serve~ That's right, I was among few who actually ordered Chilcoot's food offerings while scanning the crowded area for chicks. :P

          Is it still a 4 to 1 ratio of men to women?

          Anyways, those days were over 1/2 my lifetime ago. Time flies.

            RE: Ratio of men and women in Alaska
            Not 4 to 1 anymore, pretty close to half and half, I think.
            However, among the women, the ratio *is* about only 1 woman in four that any self-respecting man would dare to touch. Lucky for me, I brought a wife with me. :-)
            As for Chilcoots, I've never been in there, (not a fan of $6 pints at a bar when I can make a pint for about 50 cents at home) but I've heard plenty of stories; thus the surprise. Good joke. I shoulda known.

              It took me awhile, but I remembered how much a pint cost at CC's in the early '90's: $4.50.

              $6.00?? Yikes.

                If I had to guess. Like I said, haven't been there. But that's probably about the rate for a good local beer. I don't have much of a taste for cheap fizzy swill with big advertising campaigns meant to fool people into thinking that they actually make a quality beer.
                I would much prefer a German-style hefeweizen with a slice of orange. Hmmm, it is my Friday...

                  Haha. Your Friday huh? You must be a shift worker. I'm not picking on you: been there, done that - 12 hour shifts that was really 14 hour ones by the time I got off, weekends, holidays, birthdays....I did my time.
                  Hopefully, you'll soon be able to get out of it, should that be your case.
                  Yes, the $4.50 was for the local beer & my fave: Alaskan Amber Ale. That, and my favorite warm-up drink at the time: Long Island Iced Tea. Cheers!

    How about big Corporate showings? Emerson is headquartered in St. Louis, and I believe, like their Ohio Emerson Copeland have management events for employees. This would fit their outlook, as they also have a corp. PAC promoting conservative candidates.
    Also, I think it was Menards which urged employees to attend history/civics meetings to educated their voter workers before Obama got in anyway.
    Columbus, Oh has the Quarter Horse Congress in Oct. at the fairgrounds, and have many events going on, with like thinking people - real cowboys and cowgirls from all over the country.

    Georgia is a state full of Conservatives but we are driven by the large cities that are havens for government "gibsmedats" that vote democrat because they want their free stuff. We could sure use all y'all here to make sure we get out the Conservative vote.

    I wanted to go to FreePAC so bad I could just TASTE it! Come somewhere this side of the big river [AKA the border] and I'll come and pass out flyers or whatever.
