Yeah. We got a ton of New Yorkers here in Eastern PA over the last ten years. Long Island accents and stupid liberal mentality. Luckily they don’t blend in so you can pick ‘em out easily.

I live in NY. I am NOT a liberal with a Long Island accent. I'm sure many who are moving out of NY are like my family. Conservatives or republicans wanting to get out of the never ending taxes and liberal rat policies. Suffolk County, Long Island was a republican strong hold when I grew up. My family and I are contemplating moving. We worry from hearing stories from others about how some people in other states treat New Yorkers poorly. Narrow-minded would do this.

There are a lot of liberal states out there with Conservatives and Republicans living in them. Not just NY. To put everyone in NY in the category as liberal is so very wrong!

"Long Island accents..."

I live in Suffolk County LI.....and yes.....that accent is incredibly annoying....nasily whine.....when watching TV....I can pick out a Long Island women.....a mile a way....truly embarassing...

However, to be fare....that accent generally emanates from Nassau county.....and dissipates as one goes east on the Island....by the time you reach the east end it turns into a New England/Boston accent to some degree....which IMHO is a lot better than the Long Island accent...

Never the less, I fight the good fight here in Suffolk...attempting to rein in my naive and ignorant brethren...but each year it gets harder and harder as the naivety spreads east...

As I tell my wife, a converted Upper West side liberal...who has seen the light...much to the chagrin of her mother who thinks I have brain washed her, we are like troops caught behind enemy lines...we need to adapt, improvise, and blend in...but one day will make a break for freedom....

You might be surprised by how conservative and patriotic some of us are...even if we are knee deep in the nest of the radical left...pray for us...
