Grinnnn so I stepped on some toes…Sorry about that! I am not a Dixiecrat either. I have been a Republican ever since I registered to vote, way back in 1972.
I am part Yankee myself, my Dad was born in White Plains (Valhalla), NY. He married a Southern gal. His Dad was born in the South and married a Yankee gal. I happened to be born in NC.
I’m an American. However I have a sister-in-law from the Tar Heel State. (Reigalwood). Two of my brothers graduated from a little Catholic college outside of Charlotte, Belmont Abbey. Been to NC a number of times . Nice place, eighth largest state in the nation. I don’t hate Southerners by the way, just the “Johnny Reb’’ wannabe’s.
