Hey some people that moved from out-of state actually LIKE it here (in NC), and are familiar with the culture (want it preserved)-are not liberals..far from it! Like me :)..

As to the rest of your post; I agree!

LOL, it's not all transplants. But some of them, whew ;) Ms. Dole is an example of that. She had no use for her 'home state' until she needed a place to run for office. I do believe she would need a map to find NC again.

I really haven't liked Dole for many years since she was Sec Transportation under President Reagan. Mandated airbags, maintaining national 55 limit, state seatbelt laws, raising drinking age, she was involved in all of that. Mind you I recognize she wasn't fully responsible for all of it but she had her hand in it. Unfortunately Ms. Dole thinks she knows better for us than we do.
