Yep, when Yankees move here, I call them Yankees to their face and tell them they are basically considered outsiders until they are proven worthy.
Please feel free to call me a Yankee. I am very proud of my Rhode Island heritage: my Father served in WWII , my husband enlisted during Viet Nam, my son has done 3 tours in Iraq (40 months) and is away from home for the 4th time. If you went to the Free Republic Inaugural Ball for President Bush’s second term you would have seen his picture that graced the entrance to the festivities. My Father was a life long Conservative Republican as are my husband and my children, private school educated, and their spouses. Now that several of us have relocated to Texas the only place I seem to find hostility is here on Free Republic. That could be because most of the people that I encounter , that are filling the jobs in the DFW area, are also transplants.
As someone said in a previous post it is the ultra liberal elitists that you have a problem with not Yankees who are descendants of our Founding Fathers.
Do you bother to even try to get to know newcomers' politics before you insult them like that? Sheeesh...
