Atlanta conservative???? Not hardly..All those yankee liberals that moved there have taken over the city without firing a shot this time around. I know a few of them from the northern rustbelt that reside in Atlanta and they are indeed trying to transplant their yankee ideas in the south.
It's always constructive to blame your problems on someone else rather than try to solve them. Was Ted Turner a yankee import?

Well I'm glad their down there instead of up here. If there are so many northern liberals down there maybe the author was right that the North is better now, all the conservatives stayed up here. :^)
Since you guys are so fond of ALWAYS blaming "yankees" for everytime some socialist DemocRAT gets elected where you live, explain this:
1) Why the south voted LOCK DEMOCRAT from 1876-early 1960s, when it was almost ENTIRELY native born residents.
2) Why the extremely rural states of Mississippi (almost 90% NATIVE BORN) and West Virgina (OVER 90% native born) elect MORE Democrats than the rest of the south.
3) Why the most well-known southern conservatives (Bob Barr, Ron Paul, Sue Myrand, etc.) are "yankee transplants", while the worst liberals (John Edwards, Max Cleland, James Carville, etc.) are native born
4) Why the southern states with the LEAST amount of elected Democrats officials are popular summer homes for "yankees" (Florida, North Carolina, Virgina...)
5) Why the period that conservatives Republicans began to win in the south (60s to early 70s) conicided with a marked increase in northerners moving south.
6) Why the most LIBERAL congressman from up north are SOUTHERN transplants (here in Illinois, we have Jesse Jackson from S.C., Bobby Rush from Georgia, Danny Davis from Arkansas...)
7) Why you continue to use your fellow Americans ("yankees") as a punching bag after the world trade center attacks, Ronald Reagan's presidency, and the Johnson-Carter-Clinton era.
8) Why you do not consider yourself an American (ALL American are "yankees", what do you think the british called the founding fathers from VIRGINA?)
