The tax-and-spend protectionist liberals who run this state could stand to learn a good hard lesson from the conservative young midwestern families (the EEEEVIL Yankees) who've moved to the state.

Very true! But one correction.....Midwesterners are not Yankees.....they are tumbleweeds.

Everyone from "the North" (anything outside the Confederacy) is referred to as a Yankee. I have not heard a single person say "tumbleweed" in any context in my time as a NC Yankee.

But then again I'm not buddies with Easley and Basnight, so I don't know the terms they use.
