FRiend from occupied Ga,
No doubt there is much truth to what you say about many liberals leaving their polluted nests and bringing their destructive mentality with them. These leftists can’t seem to connect the dots when it comes to their political leanings and the inevitable consequences of said leanings. However, much of the exodus from these areas consists of conservatives who have had enough and just want freedom elsewhere. This is a very sizable group which I think you too easily dismiss. Nevertheless, I think your generalization of New York politics is fairly accurate and that’s why I left that state long ago.
I probably should have qualified my statement a bit about comparative conservative values and said something like “many Yankees are just as conservative, if not more conservative than many southerners that I have met.” My intent was not to impugn your conservative credentials, but to emphasize the fact that a large group of these northerners are people you or I would be happy to have as neighbors (well, you might take some persuading...LOL). It’s not northern migration that the south should fear, but liberal migration and that is an important distinction to make. I make common cause with people who share my views no matter where they previously lived, including people from occupied Georgia.
I never said that they were all liberal, just that most were. In the case of NY, 62.36%. That allows for a 37.64% mixture of moderates and conservatives.
