Ask yourselves if the committee that invites guest speakers would ever invite Bill Clinton. Would they ever invite Paul O'Neil who was critical of Bush economic policy and was Bush's first Secretary of the Treasury?
If your answer is no. Then my charge of political intolerance has merit.

Of course they would never invite Bill Clinton. I don't know what they are afraid of in having some more liberal speakers or heaven forbid, a democrat. We do know that they exist, after all. I can tell you that I watched the FOX broadcast from here and when the ONE more liberal guest was speaking, I heard some boo'ing. It extends to the "newspaper", a term I use loosely. I was talking with a lady attorney last month and she told me that her group had invited a democratic candidate for a state level position (I think it was state) and that they had 450 people in attendance. Not ONE word in the paper. It is the one sidedness of TV position that bothers me a lot. I would be equally bothered if it was a liberal community that never had a conservative speaker. We are adults after all. If you don't want to hear a more liberal speaker...DON'T COME.
Even with the above, I love it here. This is, however, a company town in every sense of the word. A beautiful and wonderful company town.
