Yankee liberals don't come here to God's Country of their own volition but some infiltrate our state because of corporate relocations. Here's a case in point...but it does have a possible happy ending.
The neighbor across the street is a tee-hugging, atheist leftist from Nashua, NH. He's been here in North Texas (as a result of a transfer in his high-tech job) since the mid-90s and still embraces the New England liberal values of his raising. But a gradual change is happening even in this guy. Why? His high school age daughter is a cheerleader in the good tradition of young Texans. A native of the Lone Star State, she speaks with an appealing Southern accent in contrast to her dad's clipped nasal Yankee tone. And, best of all, she's Conservative and goes to a solidly Christian church! Her plans are to go to Texas A&M not some liberal Yankee school. I really think she's making some headway since her dad recently put up a flagpole on the porch with both Old Glory and the Texas flag. When he finally removes that silly COEXIST bumper sticker from his little clown car, I know that a conversion is nigh.
...and a little child shall lead them. -- Isaiah 11:6
When I was a child I spake as a child ..etc. Perhaps they will grow up? It involves thought and that’s tough.
