[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Takoma Park is ground zero for the far left and known for ideology over intellect and passion over pragmatism. Lots of untalented arts and crafts wanna bees. Get ready for old lady crafts, cats, and bad pottery. They think they are the Berkeley of the east coast, they have never been to Berkeley.

Silver Spring is mostly faux liberals who couldn't afford Bethesda and are bitter about it. They are a very hypocritical group who brag about liking diversity while segregating themselves within their schools. Not a bright group but they will love you if you are gay ....as long as you are white.

Kensington- pocket of conservative Catholics and people praying that when MCOS rezones they'll get out of Einstein and into BCC.

Arlington -liberal or centrist democrat with a few establishment Republicans. More concerned with on trend kitchen remodels than politics though.

Alexandria - liberal to centrist. Wants to be Annapolis, antiqu'ing becomes a verb in Old Town.

Bethesda -where to start. Centrist to liberal left with closet Republican fiscal leanings. Locally turning right because they feel they get stuck with the bill for the loony policies coming out of TP and SS. There is a dress code.

Potomac - republicans. [/quote]

This is hysterical, especially the Silver Spring description[/quote]

What’s incredible about Montgomery County is that David Blair, who ran on a VERY progressive campaign for County Executive (as another person wrote l, he proposed government-sponsored lawyers for illegal immigrants) was demonized by the Takoma Park/Silver Spring extreme left as a conservative, I kid you not. Mainly because, as a businessperson, he said, maybe don’t scare off all businesses so that they’ll stay and we can use their tax revenue for these social programs we love so much. But nope, he’s an Evil Capitalist. 
Marc Elrich had the Takoma Park/Silver Spring extreme left vote locked up and its surprising that he almost lost. He emulates Cuba and Venezuela. This is not an exaggeration. He has spoken at length about the virtues of the Cuban communist regime and he invited the Venezuelan government to instruct the county on social programs when he was council member.

This is why we can’t have nice things. [/quote]
