Thanks for the post.

It appears that this is news to a lot of Northeasterners. It was to me also 18 years ago, when I moved to the South. After being the first of my direct decendants since 1620 to move south of the Mason/Dixon Line, I've learned a lot of history which was never taught me in public schools (1956-1968) and to appreciate the great contributions of the South and it's culture.

After these 18 years, I am proud to say that I am a proud Southerner. I made the right choice in moving here, both for me and my family. My grandson is the first native born Southerner.

Leave the ignorant Yankees believe what they wish. If I'd still live in that socialist bastion of a hell-hole, I'd be bitter every day also. It's because of the South's view on States' Rights and taxes (tariffs), along with the great weather, is why I live here. There is more opportunity (Florida has led the nation in economic growth and job creation for the last 3 years) then the Northeast has seen in over 30 years.

Last conservative to leave the Northeast, please turn the lights off.

It might be belated, but 'Welcome to the South!'

If you forgot, I'm afraid they'll probably remain on indefinitely.
