Thanks, Redwitch, I have experienced the same thing. I have been to club meetings and neighborhood gatherings where very derogatory things have been said about our President and progressives in general. The overwhelming sentiment seems to be that we are all conservatives here and these kinds of comments are the norm. I too love living in The Villages - most people here are kind and accepting and the opportunities for a fulfilling life are abundant. As Americans, we should all love our country and be patriotic regardless of our political views.
