Baloney. Leftists are entrenched in every corner of the country. Believing that is a cop-out and failure to accept responsibility for the problems in your own section. I participate on discussion sites that are hosted in various parts of the country including several in southern states. I read the opinions of people - "natives" and otherwise. It is blindly, naively foolish to blame all your troubles on carpetbaggers. Do you believe in the boogieman too?
Pure, no but old American values seem to be holding faster here than elsewhere this day and age.
The simple truth is that if you (editorial you) drive 30 minutes outside of virtually ANY city in ANY of the 50 United States you will find that same proclivity toward a more wholesome culture. ANY state. The south has no corner on the market - although I agree that they do hold those values to a greater degree per capita.
ME: “Now that IS ironic - and sad as well.”
You: Why is it sad, are you a fan of Government over reach?
No. What's sad is that otherwise decent and honorable people would go insane and attempt to blow up the world because they're not getting their way. Fortunately they are few and far in between.
I don’t think I recommended blowing up the world. However I would recommend defending what is right.
And if you note I did not blame our troubles on carpetbaggers, we have our own Utopian types. But western and northern libs empower them...
