What sucks about folks fleeing northern and western states for the midwest and south can be seen in places like here, in Tennessee.
We are seeing a huge bump in population, but the people are coming from up north. They are bringing with them, their liberal voting tendencies and ideas... you know, the very same ideas that destroyed the very states they are fleeing from!
They bring that crap down south and slowly begin to change thing by voting for the liberals, slowly messing places like Tennessee up.

I was born and raised in Nashville and I’ll never forget the time I was lectured on a hike by a New York City “expert” on how it was bad to kill Copperheads and how they wouldn’t hurt you.
Oh yeah.
“What sucks about [SOME] folks fleeing northern and western states for the midwest and south can be seen in places like here, in Tennessee.”
Some, not all. There are plenty of super-Conservative good people up here.
Look at it as if a New Yorker (not me) said...”All those people in TN breed with their sisters, live in broken down trailers, beat their wives and just sit around drinking because they’re too stupid to find a job. They’ve got $2000.00 worth of tattoo’s and drive a $50.00 car.”
Use a narrower brush, please.
Were the northerners responsible for electing Al Gore? How about Harold Ford, Sr.? Jr.?
Join the club, Tennessee!
We have been fighting that battle here in Florida for years. Former New Yorkers actually dominate Broward and Palm Beach Counties, which are Democrat hotbeds where the old folks are bussed to the polls by organizers and vote the party line.
Eventually, of course, they gripe that things in Fl are getting expensive like back home.
The price of ignorance!
I’ve spent the last 30 years watching exactly the same thing happen in Arizona. This used to be a pretty good place. Now we’re bankrupt and property owners are being held for ransom and saddled with monstrous taxes to fund liberal schemes gone bad.
“What sucks about folks fleeing northern and western states for the midwest and south can be seen in places like here, in Tennessee.”
That’s the general and common consensus.
Let’s look at it.
Michigan, for example, has lost 600,000 productive citizens since the commie governor granholm was elected in 2002. That means people who work and business owners. People who work and own businesses aren’t welfare bums. They bring conservative values to the new places they move to.
We can look at a couple of indicators to validate that claim. One, Michigan is seeing a huge revenue fall. Two, Michigan is voting more liberal in state elections.
This is caused by conservatives - working people and businesses - leaving Michigan. People not working - welfare bums - and businesses folding up shop means decreased revenue
Anecdotally, it appears that conservatives leaving liberal states will benefit conservative states.
The 2010 election should give us better numbers to verify my theory that people leaving liberal states are mostly conservatives.

Sort of like locusts.
The same kinds of people from the east and extreme west continue to flood into the Northwest in greater numbers (Utah, Wyoming, Colorado,...). They’ve already made messes of municipal-like regulations in counties (counties calling ordinances “laws” now) and have started sucking large amounts of funding from the federal government into places in the middle of nowhere on the Range (e.g., tens of millions for feminist social programs and public schools in counties with 7 or less people per square mile).
Property taxes are multiplying. Some law enforcement interests are mulling plans to lobby for outlawing discharges of firearms by ranchers. Lawsuits by HOAs (accounting for nearly all properties) to take properties and evict residents for architectural, visual and other petty disagreements are common and will sometimes erupt to the extent of nearly emptying developments of homeowners. That’s being done in developments where neighbors can’t even see one another.
Real estate developers continue to advertise vacant lots for over 10 times local market prices, even as they face foreclosures. Enormous “impact fees” must be paid to some local fire departments (sources of embezzlement scandals involving outrageous amounts of money) before building permits are allowed (international codes, strategic master plans, radical environmentalism,...). Water myths and uranium hazard myths are used to devalue properties and drive homeowners away with nothing.
...could go on, but that probably presents enough of the conditions brought by folks from the east (including the Midwest) and from the west coast.
If I were to ever leave the Gay State it would be partially because of the filthy politicians we elect...as well as taxation....climate...etc.East Tennessee would be my first choice as a destination and I *promise* that if I ever settle there I will *never* vote for a single RAT.Not for dog catcher...not for mayor....not for Senator....not for President.
How do you explain Al Gore?
Some of us up here don't like that crap, whether it be from transplants like Coleman Young and Jennifer Granholm, or natives like John Conyers.
We're having an influx of Germans here in Alabama. One thing of note...many have Chinese wives.
I saw an article the other day where the Germans were complaining that the good jobs are moving to the USA.
Their labor costs are too high.
