It seems that The Villages is awash with convervatism, both through the developer's media stranglehold and the majority of the people who live here. That a predominantly white, middle to upper class group is conservative does not surprise me, in fact it is to be expected. The intolerance I have felt here being a liberal is just overwhelming at times, to the point you wonder about your choice to move here. And then there is the "love it or leave it" crowd, using both America and The Villages as the point or embarkation.

So, like any minority, I am going to take pride in my liberal viewpoints, celebrate them and maybe make my own day of the year to party with the like-minded here (it will be a small but fun group!). Please, conversatives, quit thinking I am one of your club when we meet golfing and you can spout your love of Sarah and Fox news, while decrying Obama and his birthplace - not everyone here shares your view of the world.
