Liberals Largely Unwelcome - 8/7/2012
This is teabagger country, red as blood. Even the nicer people - and there are some - tend to be xenophobic as hell and self absorbed; so if you are not ultra-right politically, think twice before moving here, especially alone. I've even been confronted by alleged 'patriots' who like to play army in the woods on weekends, and I spent one hellish evening on my front porch arguing with a former zoning guy and a former police chief trying to make me ceded a 10x120' strip of land to the northside neighbor who wanted it; but I'm gradually digging in here and have refused to turn tail and run despite urgent efforts to make me do so.

We have our own water, power, hospital, senior center, library, county school, as well as being the county seat, home of the regional planning commission, rural water district, highway district and two sections of State Social Services. There are Christian assemblies within walking distance. If we lack anything it would be abundant jobs for our own gradutes. Many go on to college and some come back. But like their working class parents, many commute 30-45 minutes in every
