You know, I used to think like you. I have a brother in NH. He is conservative. I told him it is clear, you need to leave there. He won't. Even though he is not a socialist Yankee, his tax dollars lend DEFACTO support to local socialist policies/regime. To me, there is no political solution, that time has passed. He is in enemy territory. In support of your position, there are a few RINO politicians left in Yankee land. If you don't leave that socialist hell hole, and you are a conservative, what am I to take from that? Are you really waiting for a new Reagen revolution up there? Come on get real. Come south, concentrate political power, while we still can.
