The week before, our noses told us in the dark when we hit the Iowa state line.

Author is a liar. I could drive him across the state lines in the dark among Wisconsin/Iowa, Minnesota/Iowa, Nebraska/Iowa, Illinois/Iowa or Missouri/Iowa are we all know he'd never be able to discern the difference.

Author harkens for the days when Iowa had brains, one room school houses covered the landscape in the time frame he sees in the rearview mirror. Of course it wasn't the one room school houses, it was the kids who came from two parent homes who came to school disciplined, ready to learn.

Maybe we need to return to the days when we had a suicidal, born again Christian, alcoholic for a governor who ended up cheating and divorcing his wife, then failed to pay her the support she deserved. RIP Harold Hughes...

There’s already a suicidal, born again Christian, alcoholic governor in Iowa. Maybe it’s time for a change.

You better stay out of the Guttenberg and Dyersville area with your attitude or you’ll get your teeth kicked down your throat.

I've spent half my life in Guttenberg, and very much have an "attitude" like torbee's, yet come across grown ass men that speak like 10 year olds just like you all the time. I bet they all were big deals at the bike rack after school...

Still got all my teeth, too.

Your quality of life is declining because of your personal and Marxist values. Nothing would never be good enough for you no matter how much the government gives you.

My personal quality of life in Iowa is better than most Iowans likely experience but that’s because I work hard and elect responsible and intelligent representatives to do the heavy lifting locally and in DSM and DC.

I suspect you and your small town tough guys are on the government dole to feed your drug and alcohol addictions. The government doesn’t pay me Jack, at least not until I retire. You’re a taker and government dependent, I pay the taxes that keep you and your family’s bad habits alive.

Anyone who runs his mouth online like this jamoke does daily is a Grade A pussy in real life. Guaranteed.

Maybe you should move your fudge packing ass to Minnesota. Then little flick and yourself can jerk off to the George Floyd memorial. But if you moved up there you would find something else to bitch about because you’re a whiny pussy. You better stay out of the Guttenberg and Dyersville area with your attitude or you’ll get your teeth kicked down your throat.

try that in a small town!!!
 
My no pics wife and I were blessed with a son six years ago while living near Solon. In 2018 we kind of saw where things were headed and decided we didn’t want to raise him in a state where the water quality was among the poorest in the nation and ignorance was becoming a source of pride. I declared “F#ck Iowa State, and f#ck the state of Iowa!” and we moved to Michigan.

I don’t miss Iowa, and I’m sure the feeling is mutual.

I like my part of Iowa - a little urban enclave on the far, far east side of the state. And hey, I’m 5 minutes from legal cannabis to boot 🙂

Outside of here, IC-CR/DSM and maybe the Dubuque-Galena-Driftless area, I definitely wouldn’t live anywhere else in this state - and frankly, CR barely makes the cut 🙂

Interestingly enough, most marxists are against handouts, but I wouldnt expect a brain dead loser like yourself to know that.

Unfortunately, the Iowa of my childhood is LONG gone. I'll only speak for NW Iowa, but corporate farming and corporate stores have taken over. The days of bustling small towns with strong locally owned businesses with better prevailing wages are also gone. People want their sh!t cheap and fast. Well, there is a price for that too.

Scored in the top 5% of ACTs, have a degree from Iowa and making Chicken Kiev for dinner as we speak. Just because you knew nothing about our previous suicidal, alcoholic, deadbeat philandering Democrat Governor and Senator, well that's on you, brainiac...

You’re a pussy for needing cannabis to deal with your failures in life. When I have a problem in life I deal with it I don’t turn to drugs.

I can just see the movie scene now.

Cue the dramatic background music.

Husband and wife agonizing at the kitchen table over water quality. They look at their son and say, "You deserve better little buckaroo! We're moving to Michigan son, home to a state with one of the worst drinking water cases in recent memory!"

Antagonistic? How so?

I read his missives as more sad and nostalgic than anything, albeit with a bit of an edge.

You've missed some of his writing then. He runs the Cherokee paper too and he has written some nasty things about people. I agree it is sad but probably not in the way you think.

More than just US News.

Facts matter. You all are emotionally driven. You're pissed that your party isn't in charge so your side invents false narratives.

US News says Iowa is the 7th best state to live in on some made up criteria. Too bad our economy is #31 from that same link. Funny how you overlook that when it's Kimmy, but beating down Biden's economy. Wonder why that is?

Your pissed that for the umpteenth time in a row, the GOP got smacked at the polls. Run along and find all of the links that make you feel better about your ass kicking.
