[ That’s the liberal disease.. destroy one area with their twisted logic and make it uninhabitable and then move to another. ]
Liberals “Sh!t where they Eat” and then wonder why their food now tastes like Sh!t so they pull up stakes and find a new food supply only to find out later that it tastes like sh!t after they have been there for a while, never know WHY their food spoils...
Now all we have to do is save the Left Coast from itself.
Right, find the fault lines and then plant explosives,
maybe it’ll slide into the ocean.
Liberals are moving to Red states for the jobs and low taxes and vote for more taxes and job destroying policies - since and repeat
since=rinse
Oregon relected a totally corrupt governor for a fourth term, both US Senators won re-election ( well one will be relected in 2016)and the state house and senate have super majorities. They are chomping at the bit to outlaw guns anyway they can. The Governor says it is the first priority come January.
Of course, having a candidate with open contempt for the tea party helps a lot!
“We need to find a way to help them understand the corrosive, destructive consequences of liberal policies.”
Convincing someone presupposes a logical facility that is completely absent in Americanus Liberalus. You already admitted that the appeal to emotion-what Aristotle rightly called pathetic rhetoric-is the lifeblood of the left. The only way leftists are converted is by mugging and even then, they are more likely to just move than change their minds. It’s never the fault of policy, just a societal failure.
Maybe, in their new location, they will finally able to move from good intention to implementation. It is not only their right, but their obligation. After all, it’s hard work imposing a Utopia on people.
We were born and raised here in Virginia; my family is pretty much gone, but my husband's big family is here, so we won't be going anywhere. I wouldn't know where to go, anyway, unless it would be the deeper South, and I have no interest in the heat nor the bugs.
But what you say is absolute truth. Here in rural central Virginia, we're one of the last conservative holdouts in the state, but not for long. Yankees think this part of the state is oh, so quaint and charming, so they're coming in droves.
Also, we're becoming increasingly overrun with Muslims.
What you say may be true, sarcasm noted.
But it is a pipe dream to think they can be stopped by searching their cars at the border. The thought that it can be done that way is rather infantile and un-conservative. And it is that thought process I take issue with.
Also, note who I refer to. It is not the hard eyed liberals (Obama, Hilary, Alinsky, et al) and it is not the starry-eyed, spittle-lipped liberals such as Al Franken, Cynthia McKinney, the mass of Hollywood, entertainment and media, and nearly all liberals at all levels in government.
It is the people you live and work with who say something in one sentence that sounds socialist, and in another sentence, something conservative.
Those are the people we can aim at.
I agree. After all, I am from California, but would be considered pretty conservative anywhere. In my opinion, the real issue is that we are seeking a political solution to a moral problem. Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that our government requires a moral populace to work.
Sure, north Arlington is still mostly nice, ‘course that’s where most of the money lives so it gets lots of police protection. But try taking an evening stroll thru south Arlington, or Crystal City away from the hotels, and you better have a carry permit.
Republican leaders prefer to bury their heads in the sand regarding the obvious importation of future Democrats via mass immigration.
Just like Cancer Cells.
No, I think that the author does have a point-especially about the culture affecting people, their attitudes and in some cases their politics as well.
Here in NC (as I assume you’re from as well), I especially see Northern Migration in my corner (Wilmington, New Hanover County), however a good many of these people are conservative republicans (at least fiscally, if not socially too-many are Conservative Catholics).
I do think that culture affects people and when they interact with their neighbors, friends and family in life, our slower pace of life, southern (friendly) and Christian culture ~can~ change mindsets and lives.
So I welcome people, and can get along with just about anyone. It’s those who come here and complain and don’t like it (because we don’t do things like they did back in NE or the North Atlantic; they hold ELITIST Attitudes) that I say “bless you, now you can go home”!!
Bingo and double-bingo on that.
They flee liberal shiteholes and take their rat voting habits with them, not cognizant of fact that voting rat is what destroyed their original home.
If people leave liberal States because of intolerable laws and political attitudes to more conservative States, doesn't that mean that the migrating conservatives are Republicanizing and conservatizing their receiving States?
The author cites demographers who assume that out-migration from 'Rat States carries the 'Rat Plague with it. I'd challenge that. I'd prefer to think that the migrants are conservatives who've been thoroughly inoculated by experience against the Deep Pink Plague. Case in point: Ayn Rand, who got a bellyful of Bolshevism before fleeing her native Russia.
Your damn right, but it is not what they are taught, so it never comes to mind - and if someone brings it up, they consider it BS.
But it has to be true nevertheless. Blue states have now given Red States a HUGE ADVANTAGE when it comes to drawing in new people (even non-gun people). To put it another way, if you live in New York, and (of course) don’t own guns, and a really good job offer comes from Texas, the last thought on your mind would be all the guns in Texas and how risky that would be for you. On the other hand if you live in Texas and own guns (of course) and you get a really good job offer in New York (as if that happens anymore, but regardless), you will think VERY HARD before moving there, as you’ll very possibly have to give up your guns.
The problem is this: while I don’t disagree with what you and the author say about the culture, there are so many yankees moving into NC so quickly, that the reflex to vote Democrat is often more rapid than the cultural impact.
The northern migration is absolutely why NC is now a kinda purplish red state....instead of solid red.
