The animals have soiled their own living quarters and are now planning on doing the same in free states.

Here’s an example of the type of Representative needed in Red states to fend off the blue disease/plague:
Dear Representative,
I hope you are taking care of yourself during this busy session. I know it is a challenging, compressed time.
I am writing to express my grave concern about House Bill 105. Ample evidence has shown that schools and guns do not mix, and in particular, guns in the hands of amateurs/non-professionals is extremely dangerous, especially in any highly-charged situation. to expose our children to greater risk in their schools by encouraging more guns on campuses is something that we cannot allow.
My husband and I moved to Wyoming not too long ago. We believed it was a good place to raise children. With the recent and reactive expansion of gun laws and the profoundly serious dangers of fracking, we find we are seriously reconsidering our decision, which is wrenching to all of us. However, the safety of our family must come first. We are waiting to see what the legislature does this session. I know of other new-to-Wyoming families in similar contemplation. Your choices matter. It would be sad to see an exodus of educated, childrearing age adults from Wyoming as a result of poor lawmaking.
sincerely,
Rev. Audette Fulbright
The letter does not say where Fulbright is from, but living in Wyoming myself, I’d guess she’s either at the university in Cheyenne or, more likely, is in Jackson Hole – which is how Wyomingites say “California.”
The fun, though, comes with Hunt’s response. He’s blunt and to the point. In a local newspaper account, he even admitted that, but says he won’t apologize for it. His response:
Rev. Fulbright,
I’ll be blunt. If you don’t like the political atmosphere of Wyoming, then by all means, leave. We, who have been here a very long time (I am proudly 4th generation) are quite proud of our independent heritage. I don’t expect a “mass exodus” from our state just because we’re standing up for our rights. As to your comments on fracking, I would point out that you’re basing your statement on “dangers” that have not been scientifically founded or proved as of yet.
It offends me to no end when liberal out-of-staters such as yourself move into Wyoming, trying to get away from where they came from, and then pompously demand that Wyoming conform to their way of thinking. We are, and will continue to be, a state which stands a head above the rest in terms of economic security. Our ability to do that is, in large part, to our “live and let live” mentality when it comes to allowing economic development, and limiting government oversight. So, to conclude, if you’re so worried about what our legislature is working on, then go back home.
Sincerely,
Hans Hunt
Personally, I’d say that Hans was far more generous and much nicer than I would

That is probably a factor, but I’ve seen plenty of Blue Staters who immediately jump on the zoning, tax, K-12 transvestite education, etc. bandwagons. All the while talking about how their old hometown was so rundown.
Just this morning during my 2.5 mile walk, I saw five vehicles with out of state plates. One each from MN, CO, NM, NY and one did did not recognize. One still had a Romney / Ryan sticker. Another had a “Don’t tread on me” sticker.
Yup! Check for Rats at the border—must have voter registration card—”card check”!!!
Classic example of people voting with their feet... a must read...
Where’s KY on the list? I didn’t see a full list in the article.
i’d remind them that this is a really big planet and there are 137 other nations more to their liking ~ find one and go there ~ and don’t come back!
Wonder why?
