St Mary’s County was very remote and rural until fairly recently when the US Navy transferred thousands of its personnel from Northern VA to the Patuxent Naval Air base.

That influx would dramatically affect the county’s demographic, but I’d never have suspected the change would be in this direction. A few decades ago St Mary’s seemed heavily populated with genuine Amish farmers.

Tourist brochures touting St. Mary's County's fruit stands, mom-and-pop eateries, and St.Mary's City, where colonial life is re-enacted make the area look like a bastion of traditional American culture, not wacky political correctness.

oh that, can't speak for everywhere but in PA, the libs just love to escape the city (read: those yutes and the schools they go to) and move out into the country.

Telling their lib friends how they live out in Amish country and how peaceful it is but driving like lunatics behind the horse and buggy that has the nerve to be in front of them. They get them selves nice and dug in like tics in the local affairs and they next thing you know, having a bonfire is banned.

As is their cancerous way, they move into a new area and proceed to recreate the ruinous cr@phole that they fled.
