Well, I have never felt uncomfortable in The Villages with my political views. I have close friends on both spectrums - from quite liberal to quite conservative.

This is a wonderful community with wonderful people in it. In our everyday actions, politics never even come up. I belong to some clubs and politics do not come up there, either.

Bucco, your definition of liberal elite is not quite the same as mine. However, we are both entitled to our own viewpoints. Yes, liberals do speak out on social issues and of helping the needy. I really do not thnk that elite means having money. It means, to me, having education to think for yourself.

I do not agree with your statement of a liberal elitist as one who thinks they have all the answers and everyone else is ...

But, this is a forum to express opinions and this was a good healthy expression of both of our opinions.
