Kim – I'm a native Californian who travels. San Francisco and Marin would be ideal places for a liberal to live. I'd have to at least give a nod to Heather – they tend to unapologetically make conservatives uncomfortable. Have to say that is one of the things I like about Austin – you can be yourself.

If you were going to recommend a few towns in America for a liberal to live in other than Austin what would they be?

I think the problem here is that all these things apply if your a liberal in a liberal town! Liberals only tolerate people who agree with them. God help you if your in this sort of town and have a different opinion!

Then you would be a member of an angry mob, or be called some other hateful name! Liberals are more then happy to write a hate law for pretty much any group, except conservatives!

They won't tolerate hate speech towards gays, blacks, women or minorities. But hating conservatives is fair game! Even if the conservative is gay, black, a woman or a minority!

a) I will protest Monsanto any day- I just don't know anyone else who knows who Monsanto is besides you…

b) I think I belong in a liberal town too, Micah and I LOVE Santa Cruz. When are you going to convince Micah that we need to move to Austin, because whatever I'm saying isn't working

@Craig // I didn't want to get into politics on this one, but since you asked… When I am speaking about liberal and conservative I am speaking in the most basic of terms. The core belief that drives them is whether one believes mankind is inherently evil or good. Most people never whittle their belief down far enough to arrive to a conclusion, but it never the less is the core of the beliefs. I would add that often the belief that mankind is good or evil can go either way, especially in today's political arena where most people define themselves by just a couple of issues.

Like I said in the article, I'm a pro-life libertarian when it comes to politics so I believe in really limited government and the financial trouble that we have in the U.S. today exists solely because of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913
