A bit too hot, a bit too conservative, a bit too c - 7/6/2009 |
|
|
| I moved to Fort Worth from Wisconsin in search of a warmer winter and a comfortable life. I've gotten the warmer winter, but I don't dig the lifestyle here very much. It's too country and conservative for my blood. I'm from Madison, a relatively liberal city, so coming to Fort Worth was quite the culture shock. I like Fort Worth's downtown area. I think it's very nice and clean. The Stockyards is a cute novelty at first, but gets old after a while, especially if you aren't into cowboys and country music (I'm not). The city has some beautiful neighborhoods, but it also has some terrible neighborhoods, and they aren't separated by much. Climate change is causing the summers to be hotter and drier than ever. It's not very scenic anywhere. The people who are so in love with Texas drive me crazy, but probably not as much as the evangelical Christians that are everywhere thumping their bibles or the arrogant men wearing their Wranglers, chewing their tobacco and driving their SUVs everywhere. Seems people are into religion and making money. All I ever hear about are churches and how cheap it is to live here. Cheap, sure, but worth it? I don't think so. I'm moving to California, where it's more expensive, but has better weather, scenery and liberalism.

Conservative places like Fort Worth are fitting for me. And I like the "Bible thumper" atmosphere, because I am an evangelical Christian. My, how different worlds we must come from even though we both come from the Midwest. A cant stand liberalism: it doesnt support freedom of speech nearly as much as U think, it labels people, wants to take your right to bear arms away, looks down on "typical" people, is against traditional american values, and sees marriage as an institution between one man and one woman, as it should be. Knock yourself out in California, the land of fruits, nuts and flakes.

If you love liberalism, California is great for you. See where liberalism gets you. California is a beautiful state, maybe the most beautiful in the nation, but sadly it has been bankrupt due to corrupt liberal policy and thought. Maybe you should try DC. You would fit right in. Fort Worth sounds like a great place for me. I visited last year and loved it.
