I tried this back in 2013 and failed to gain traction in Shreveport, or convince the family to pull up stakes.
But now I have clearance from the tower and we are putting in place steps to move out of this democratic stronghold that is Illinois.
Friends let me tell you what it is like to live among the morally superior, the highly intelligent, the self aware, the politically perfect......the indoctrinated.
People who will tell you how they have read the right books and have the higher level of learning and think at a far higher level then any conservative.
People who basically have no idea how things work, who have guzzled the kool aid of leftist leanings, who would like nothing more then to see the whole country thrown into chaos for the sake of their social beliefs.
I can go on and on about the failed policies of this state's government and the pending collapse of it's infrastructure, but it's not news to anyone, and really a waste of breathe.
What I'm most concerned about is the feeling of the encroaching "blue states" squeezing out it's conservative taxpaying base, chasing them off to another "red state" then having left thinking, left voting taxpayers do the same and change the political landscape in the state they land in.
I'm seeing more and more red counties in red states like Texas and Florida turn blue, to the point of the state possibly swinging blue. States like Ohio and Pennsylvania.
I sound like a hypocrite since I'm running from a blue state instead of trying to "fix" it. but there is no fixing this deeply rooted mindset. I have real fears about this mindset, in time, overwhelming the conservative beliefs of the American people.
I'm moving to a very red state because of my beliefs and to ensure my family has a chance to still live a free life. But what happens when left leaning people also move to those states and radically change that state? Usually for the worse. Where will there be left to move to? Just like the rest of the world, they look to us. Where will they look to when we're not here?
How can we impose democracy throughout the world, and overthrow tyrants and free oppressed people and change hearts and minds when we can't even change our own neighbors hearts and minds with what I believe are very convincing facts and history?
If you're a Democrat and disagree with me, you have every right to. But please, just show me where any democratic policies ever worked. I'm not the brightest bulb in the drawer, and am not going to win any debate or witty comeback contest, but I still haven't heard anything from the left that is progressive and good for the whole country.
