[GeorgefromGeorgia]

I agree with you that non-Southerners that move to the South generally become Southern. I do think these newcomers do impact our culture here in the South. I am 59 and remember when being Southern was a major source of pride in Georgia. Once it became politically incorrect to sing “Dixie,” waive the flag or honor our Confederate ancestors, there has been a decline in that consensus. We are more independent than other portions of the country, but less so than 40 years ago.
While I am proud to be a Southerner, I am an American first and my loyalty is to the USA. I just hope the Yankees don’t screw it up.

Too late for that, sir.
