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.

As a long time resident of The Villages, I would really like you to give an example of 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 I ask you in the nicest way possible to explain how and where you feel this "intolerance"...seems you would welcome this opportunity and I feel that it is owed since you made such a strong accusation !
If it is your choice of friends, that would not be something that would make one wonder about moving here, but certainly would create other questions for sure about your choice of friends and your tolerance level ! I have friends that for years joined the media circus in blaming our last President for every ill that existed in the world but maybe my tolerance level and definition of friends is different than yours.
I will surely await your reponse eagerly
