The purpose of this site is to fill the gap left when, on 27 January 2011, the Lake Ashton Living website took down the resident discussion areas, that, until that time, afford this outlet and venue for it residents.

If a negative statement is made against an individual etc, it MUST be supported by public and official documentation. If, however, a posting is just an attempt to marginalize, slander or otherwise attack the HOA, CDD, Management or individuals, then such posts will be deleted.

What is a Carpetbagger and what does the term mean today?



1872 cartoon depiction of Carl Schurz as a Carpetbagger


When the term Carpetbagger(s) is used today it is as a  derogatory reference;  suggesting opportunism and exploitation by those who form alliances to politically manipulate and control environments (local and city governments etc..) for their own personal financial and power gains.
