I know that. Also, I did include a "(ducks)" tag to indicate my sarcasm.
There are plenty of passionate Patriots in New Jersey still. One of my New Jersey ancestors—my g-g-g-g-g-g-g-grandfather John Hart—signed the Declaration of Independence. It's just unfortunate that the state is controlled by a majority of New York-style liberals—to include much of the GOP...
Oh, that’s what (ducks) means...
WRT to the Leftist NY transplants, I liken them to a plague of locusts which have just stripped an area of all life, and are now moving to better feeding grounds...where they’ll do the exact same thing without learning a single thing from their prior experience. Such were my aunt and uncle, NYC libs who moved to NJ so that their precious children wouldn’t have to deal with the NYC public schools that their votes for Mayor John Lindsay and others like him produced. Then they proceeded to vote for liberal/Leftist NJ pols. Liberalism really IS a mental disease.
