Lots of liberals are voting conservative with moving vans too.

The problem is when liberals follow and keep voting Democrat, that happened in certain counties in Maryland.

My experience is that lots of liberals fleeing the messed nest they created, now come here and bring their liberal values and liberal solutions.

They’re like the plague. And they’re ignorant to boot. Absolutely see no correlation between their “social justice” mania and the collapsed economies they left behind.

New Census numbers show citizens fleeing by the millions from liberal states

The liberal states are quickly becoming welfare housing and bath house states. The conservative states are getting all the normal, productive people, and will do very well.
If there ever was a good time to push for state rights, it would be now, so the conservative states don't end up supporting all the failed liberal states forever, or having their neighborhoods littered with vile.
Let them sink, or learn from their experience.

Between 2009 and 2010 the five biggest losers in terms of “residents lost to other states” were all prominent redoubts of progressivism: California, New York, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey. Meanwhile, the five biggest winners in the relocation sweepstakes are all commonly identified as “red states” in which Republicans generally dominate local politics: Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Arizona and Georgia.

Welcome to the Peach State, yankees. Wipe your feet, drop your diphthongs and have some grits.

Its why I’m staying put in Michigan. We’ve seized control of the state government and things are going to turn around. Small entrepreneurs will come out on top if we work hard.

I have long thought we needed a minuteman project on state and county borders to turn back undesirables like Commielibs. If a pink Volvo with a COEXIST bumpersticker attempts to cross then it would be considered home defense to open fire.

This would prevent what happened to northern New England in the late 50s and 60s as those who had completely screwed up where they lived and then started to screw unscrewed areas

Now we are all screwed

It's like the Mexicans fleeing Mexico. They escape - only to come here and demand America be more like Mexico!

They’re bringing their messed up liberal views with them.

Then they want all the services that they left behind, creating another messed up liberal bureaucracy.

I live in a county in NJ that is predominantly Republican, I see it every day. They come here from “the city” and try to change their new town into the swamp that they left.

Since the election in Michigan we’ve destroyed one union, cut some 30,000 college kids off food stamps, imposed limits on welfare and a whole lot of other things.

While I didn’t love our new governor he appears to be pragmatic and willing to make some tough choices.

--yep---"the way we did it in California was----" is the watchword, which I follow up with "why did you leave?--

--saw a Montana vehicle some years ago with the perfect bumper sticker--"we don't care how you did it in California"---

Unfortunately, the first thing these folks do when they get to their new homes is try to make it more like the place they left. The start lobbying for “tax and spend” programs and wanting to pass a lot of new laws because “that’s the way we did it in New York”. Ask the folks from California’s neighboring states.

The do that even within states. I live 30 miles from Ann Arbor and we’re bible belt conservative here (My congressman is a Baptist minister)

The Ann Arbor yuppies move here and either find their conservative side or move on. We’re pretty aggressive about helping them choose.

Interesting. But considering the back lash many in the South have against “Foreigners”, I wonder how long this will last.

“The problem is when liberals follow and keep voting Democrat, that happened in certain counties in Maryland.”

Myrtle Beach, SC has been taken over by Northern Fascists since I left 25 years ago. We have neighbors ratting out neighbors over license plates not being changed in a timely manner(and everything else under the sun), citations issued for everything from boats parked in driveways(of course, everyone has a boat here!)to trees being trimmed without permits. Everything that a home owner does to his or her house that exceeds $100.00 in cost has a fifty dollar permit fee attached, or a very hefty fine, and this is not an HOA neighborhood.

We have another couple of years here, and then either Montana or Alaska to finish.

Hello fellow Jerseyian. I like the conservative area where I live (Sussex County), but you are right — too many liberals moving into the area and trying to ruin it.

Virginia is showing the effects of rat migration

we used to be a conservative state, but now large voting blocks of demonrats from northern part of the state, are swinging the policies to the left.
