You don't seem to have grasped my original quote which was regarding the fact that there are Democrats in The Villages and they are happy here. It was not meant to be a political post. Simply stated, that all political parties reside here and are happy in The Villages. There is a place for everyone.

You raised the ante when you mouthed off about this country being right of center, in your opinion. That statement had absolutely nothing to do with the subject of the threads. Then you talked about how unhappy you are that the country is moving in the opposite direction, i.e. liberalism, as though that is a dirty word. If anyone raised this discussion to political, it was you, fella.

If I wanted to have this type of discussion, I'd be in Political, but I'm not, for a reason.

I won't be responding anymore to this nonsense.

I really think you have carried this discussion too far. You have completely hijacked this thread when you posted your support for Obama-Biden. Your liberalism may suit you just dandy but it will ruin the USA and our great grandchildren will have to pay for the debt it has created. Your support for your candidate should have been posted in the Political Forum.

I really think the moderators should stop this thread.

Pats2010, on any given day it seems that Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin or Sean Hannity or Mitt Romney is visiting The Villages. You can read the local paper and be entertained by Ann Coulter and Ollie North. Check out the owner's profile:

I misunderstood TalkHost.

I thought he moved THIS thread to Political.

Yesterday, I was standing talking to a group of men that I had never met before when one asked me how long I had been in The Villages. 3 months I replied adding that my wife and I really enjoyed it here. One of the men loudly stated " I have been here 9 years and if my house ever sells I will be gone." He followed that immediately with "This place has nothing to do with the reality of the real world and I want the H++l out of here." Well, silence was obvious over the group and as I thought about what he said for about 15 seconds, I said in an almost questioning tone "We moved here and enjoy this place because of the reality of the real world." I guess the questioning tone to my statement was there as I was questioning whether we had made the right decision for us.

Now this morning, still thinking of the strange conversation, I still feel the statement I said reflects my feelings. My wife and I spent our lives in many different places around the world to include my 22 years military service. Now understand, we are not trying to escape the Real World, but at our age, our contributions to the real world and simply because we do love this place, I cannot accept that we are being less than genuine in our choice of location for retirement. I also do not feel that we are fleeing responsibility to the real world for living here.

There is no point or moral to this post, just to say that we as a couple feel this is right for us.

I just had to go back an read my original post again to confirm at least to myself that I did not say or even indicate a lean in the direction of Political. I am on a quest to keep my political views to myself as much as I possibly can. Just call me INDEPENDENT LOU WITH NO VIEW.
