Actually, I support this misinformation campaign. It keeps the damn yankees from moving here.Aww, c'mon, you guys. We're not all liberal-nanny-state stereotypical damnyankees.
If I ever move to Dixie (like I'd like to), I won't bring damnyankee ways with me - I intend to become a Southron, myself.
Yankee by birth, Southron by temprament and attitude.
Sorry, guy, one doesn't become a Southerner by choice. You'll always be a Yankee.
There's nothing wrong with being a Copperhead: that's the status you're aiming for. Copperheads are always welcome in our country.
