[ConservativeInPA]

I live in Pa, born in WV, my father and his generations going back to the 18th century are from NC. My wife and I have talked about moving to NC, but we don't want much to do with the populated areas like Cary. I'll have nothing to do with the retired hippies out west in Ashville. I have some cousins that live in the swamp in the east. I have all my teeth, and don't quite fit in. (I was kicked out of West-by-God when I was two for having too many teeth.)

We're pretty happy with living in south central Pa in an area ("outside" Harrisburg) where folks are 70-80% Republican. The only thing we don't like are the state taxes and lack of right-to-work laws. If we move it will be to the deep south or Texas.

I have had plenty of opportunities to leave TX and go to NC but after reading these comments, NC is too leftist for me and that is coming from someone who lives near Austin.

TX is in the midst of a multi-year drought and I am not so sure that this place will even be habitable come next summer without a couple tropical storms or hurricanes marching up through the state. Then there is the problem of infrastructure. TX city government is as corrupt and incompetent as any CA city, and thus while the traffic in the Austin Metropolitan Area is growing by over five hundred cars a week, there is no leadership or plan to alleviate what is considered already by AAA as some of the most congested freeways in America.

I love TX, but, like NC, the cancer of progressivism/socialism is metastasizing and it is quite possible with the influx of communists and marxists from both the East and West coasts, and the unstopped train of human debris flooding up from South of the border, TX will be a blue state shortly after Perry leaves office.
