[quote=Anonymous]I could not agree more with this article. I have lived in majority conservative areas but never encountered anything like the intolerance I have seen in Arlington in the 15 years I have lived here. The assumptions are what gets me- the person striking up a conversation at party or event assumes that since you look like/are a local, of course your beliefs match theirs so they feel free to state their views as if they are facts. Imagine the utter shock when someone actually disagrees politically. The surprise that someone would dare to use the name Reagan in reference to the airport. The shock when they hear that you have relatives who own guns (heaven forbid you own one yourself). I’m not Republican, or conservative, but believe that many Arlingtonians are way too secure and ignorant in their tough little bubble.[/quote]
