Blue Future for CO?

Kind of along the same lines...

My wife and I have been talking about buying some land now, with the intention of retiring to it in ~30yrs.

We've been talking about Salida (CO), but lately I'm starting to wonder if we'd be better-off in Idaho, Montana or even Texas?

I blame the media. They have the biggest influence over people and they shape public opinion. The liberal thought can be spread as easily as common sense if left unchecked. Smart but nieve minds are the best to infect with liberal ideas. I am guessing that is why so many liberals are college teachers.

With enough mis information spreading around you can get people to believe just about anything.

That's probably my best explanation for it as well. I honestly believe it stems mostly from the media and what people are force fed. I also believe a lot of it stems from the public school system as well as the college system. It's not like being from a specific regions makes you more or less liberal, it's what you're exposed to. For instance when it's said time and time again, taught time and time again that guns are evil, you're going to believe it.

Do you honestly believe ALL WWII era Germans were ok with what was going on there? Same thing goes for communism. They believe it to be right the way we are taught it is wrong. It's all a matter of exposure and upbringing in my humble opinion.

Well, If you dont mind liberals- its not a bad place. If not- run away, far away! lol. Salida is so screwed up right now. Tons of tree huggin, hippie liberal rejects running around there. Kinda wierd as its totaly surrounded by ranchers that are the real salt of the earth, common sense types. Not sure where all the weirdos came from- but they werent there 10years ago.
