I live in Austin, and I have always been unhappy about it as I felt it was very statist/liberal/big government with the whole capital and state government, university and lots of super leftist with tons of Obama bumper stickers.

Amazingly though it appears Austin is the stronghold of liberatarianism in the USA. John Mackey is from here.


Austin is a stronghold for Ron Paul campaign
Supporters run the gamut from techies to libertarians to 'black helicopter' crowd.

I'm surprised Chicago is #3 in meetup groups, maybe I'll start doing that. Gotta resist that statism somehow.
