Oh...by the way, the rest of the country? Y'all are welcome. Now come down here and spend some money, but please, don't move here, we got enough of y'all Yankees clutterin' thangs up already. :)

Ever considered the fact that most of those millions of Yankees who moved south in the 50s and 60s because of their work in the military or defence industries were solid conservatives and finally allowed the GOP in the south to beat out the old corrupt yellow dog rats for the first time in 100 years? Names like Gingrich and Barr come to mind and at least a dozen of my old friends.

Ever consider that it was Southern legislators who directed all that money to their region and contributed to the Sun Belt migration? Thus shooting many holes in the theory that without the South the North would look like France or Canada.
