‘I have some conservative friends who live up in Westford —…’
Poor pick. Know the town well. Westford, Poopkick TX type of place. Full of people that work along 495, down RT3 to Billerica, and up in Nashua. Took their Northeastern, BU, MIT and so on educations out to the suburbs and 500k houses. Moderates, not conservatives. Don’t claim otherwise because of the distorted views of a friend you might have there to whom everyone to the right of Barney Frank is a conservatice.
Your Poopkick TX type of demographics – uncivilized hillbilly bunch of gapped toothed Mechanical, interbred SW, and redneck and Electrical Engineers.
Just like Dunstable. And it’s painfully obvious you haven’t a clue about what folks from places like Melrose, as blue a town as there is, saw in Brown.
There isn’t a Starbucks on every corner in Westford or Dunstable – the lots are 2 acres – and they do like their highschools – how’s Cambridge doing on that score by the way? But admittedly having to exclude the faculty of Harvard and MIT and the health professionals, there’s more brainpower in any one of the towns I mentioned than all the cafe posers in Cambridge and Brookline could muster.
Which brings us to this:
‘…you’re not likely going to overhear someone in Dunstable recently arrived from Washington, and in a cafe chatting with a friend about some of the lesser known issues of dealing with the colossal economic mess that built up over the past several years…’
You are really clueless throwing that out as a Cambridge perk. In Dunstable they talk about the fact that it’s growing and paying for it, because they know they’re the ones who will. And that is why they, and the folks in Melrose and Ashland and Dracut, voted for Brown.
I normally don’t have an issue with what I read from you. You’re not one of the skeezik type of vapid and vulgar fanboy tools. I can’t say I ever agree with your take on things, but you stand up and try to support your opinions. However, the crap your spewing about it being the uncivilized and unwashed of Mass that voted in Brown is just characterizing and embarrassing yourself in front of any PJM reader from Mass – not from Barney’s district anyway – and anyone else who knows the state.
Not that it’ll do you any good to hear it or that you’ll take it but here’s some advice. This is telling:
‘If you’re into lawns…’
Your problem is that you’re a dime a dozen snotty cocooned liberal elitist in the People’s Republic of Cambridge. Your lawn is between Memorial Drive and the Charles and someone else mows it for you. Anything between the Cambridge line and RT128 is Indian country to you, beyond to RT495 howling wilderness, and outside 495 there be conservative dragons.
Grow out of it. What you saw Tuesday wasn’t the conservative bogeyman coming out of the suburban closet. It was the ants telling the grasshoppers to f**ck off.
