To: chilltherats; Article10

“Hold on a minute......why did you leave TN? We’re planning a move to eastern TN very soon, in large part to get away from lefties and massive numbers of minorities and illegals. We’re in CA now, so all but about 5 states are worse than this one. TN is considered a “good” state, isn’t it?”

Can’t answer for Article10 of course, but I will offer a comparison:

Madison County in west Tennessee (city: Jackson) has a population of about 96,000, with black population being 34% and white, non-Hispanic population of 61.3%. I have no idea what the illegal population may consist of. Madison County has a significant crime problem.

Washington County in east Tennessee (city: Johnson City) has a population of about 118,000, with black population being 4.1% and white, non-Hispanic population of 91.6%. Again, I do not know about the illegal mix. The crime rate is significantly lower than Madison County.

My guess is that this comparison is fairly representative of a west/east differential in composition and crime for the state.

I know all that, which is why we chose eastern TN. There are almost no blacks and very few illegals there, at least not in the rural areas, and a lot of it’s rural. The Memphis area has a large percentage of blacks and will thus be far more leftist in their politics and, yes, crime will be phenomenally higher. That’s a no-brainer.

Here’s what you said that I was asking about:

“The problem is fundementally curable I do believe, it starts with people like us fighting back and not allowing the liberal agenda or status qou to carry on. I voted with my feet and left TN behind, now they are missing out on my hard work and tax revenue.”

Basically I asked you why you said that - why did you vote with your feet against TN and leave? You were talking about the liberal agenda and seemed to be saying that a liberal agenda is the reason you left TN. By comparison, overall, TN is not considered liberal so far as I know. So I’ll ask again, what are you talking about in reference to TN and a liberal agenda? I’d really like to know.
