We have a home in Vermont...we are proud GODDAMNED FLATLANDERS...Vermont is a fascinating place. An extremely liberal place, with a fundamental dedication to the Constitution's 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. A truly interesting dichotomy.

From our experience, the people that live in Vermont are wonderful. Some of the folks I know don't LOVE outsiders. And as underpopulated as Vermont is, it's one of the most LIVE AND LET LIVE AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS places I've ever been.

I'm reminded of the song IOWA STUBBORN from THE MUSIC MAN. Definitely applies to our Vermont family!

We can be cold
As our falling thermometers in December
If you ask about our weather in July.
And we're so by God stubborn
We could stand touchin' noses
For a week at a time
And never see eye-to-eye.
But what the heck, you're welcome,
Join us at the picnic.
You can eat your fill
Of all the food you bring yourself.

What’s the confusion on liberals with guns? You know who was fucking liberal? The founding fathers. We just uphold the traditions of the founders, a constant push for progress, and equality (the founders were a little loose on that one).

Plus we need our guns for when we have our bolshevik revolution and forcibly take all the second and third homes so that our citizens have housing instead of having homeless people freezing while wasted places sitting empty so the rich can visit and look at the funny locals like we are savages seeing civilized people for the first time.
