You are correct, most people here in TV have conservative values. I suppose that is why they are here. If you are conservative and have worked your entire life and plan to enjoy your retirement years in a place where you can make new friends and enjoy yourself, you wouldn't select to live in a place that is mostly liberal minded.
Sometimes, I even tell some of my friends, both liberals and conservatives, some of the ideologies liberals spout here on TOTV. We usually just shake our heads and laugh.

Here is a quote from Eisenhower's letter to his brother Edgar:
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas.5 Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

The modern Republican party represents the interests of the corporations as it always has, But the corporations no longer need the American Middle Class. These multinational corporations have become quasi-American entities with no distinct loyalties to America. This belief is the foundation of my hostility toward the Republican party and to some Democrats.
