I'm a fan, and wish I could vote for the head of Freedom Caucus, Mark Meadows (NC-11)

Unlike most of the northern financial refugees I didn't get here and immediately try and turn this place into where I left.

You could have at least opened Doner shop.

Bonus, he doesn’t talk wrong like someone from citified New Yoik or Joyzee.
I’ve been in the area a couple times & couldn’t squeeze it in.We still need to go for that BBQ...
Just drive through Cary (Containment Area for Relocated Yankees) and ‘lil Cary (Apex) and see all the NY, NJ & PA liscense plates, bumper stickers and yard signs.And exactly what facts do you have that the Northern Yankees have done that?

My bad, I forgot to mention yard signs.So from tourist license plates you can tell how NC residents vote? Wow, cool to know we have a physic on board.
Hey, I hear all black people only like rap too.
My bad, I forgot to mention yard signs.
Please understand I’m just funnin’ with stereotypes.
The black thing isn’t correct either, I saw evidence proving it Wednesday eve at the BG show

Nice, Albert King’s Stevie Ray Vaugn’s #1 influence, and BG’s from LouisianaHey, and Buddy Guy is from Chicago! He is part of the problem. You might want to reference Albert King or even Benoit King!

I’m not familiar with Benoit King, are you referencing Tab?
And exactly what facts do you have that the Northern Yankees have done that?
And Brits!
Worked in a gun store for several years and had to listen to many lectures by northern transplants on why only the right people should have guns.

Soo... You're going to take your sweet ass time ??
Just kidding!!
Well my guess is your sample size was not very large, it's a big world out there. With few exceptions transplants I know came here because they wanted a less expensive, more conservative lifestyle free from congestion, crime and wacked out lefty rules and schools. I know people that moved here withlut jobs just to escale the occupied territory of the North. Kind of like Cubans. They have seen the other side and are some of the biggest stalwarts against Marxism. Same with many Eastern Europeans.
Well you can toss in damn near every transplant I met in Santee Cooper too. Pretty much all from up North. All down there because they couldn't afford a comfortable retirement up North. And then in the residents meeting all decrying the lack of sidewalks streetlights etc etc without seeming to make the connection between the governing body providing all this crap and their high taxes (or in this case development dues). So true I didn't meet everyone, but I don't have to grab every branch of poison ivy or be bitten by every mosquito to know I don't want either in my vicinity.
EXACTLY what ive seen here. northerners move here, complain about lack of sidewalks and the "must be selfish republican" locals that dont want to have to pay for them with higher taxes. i wanna smack somebody every time i hear "we did this back home" or "in maryland we had" at the local meetings.
its true that not all northerners fit the stereotype, just like not all folks who live in the city could be called city folk.
but ive personally never seen a northern transplant, who moved from/to a large city who didnt try to recreate the crap they had up north. if such a mythical creature actually does exist, im convinced they are hiding in rural communities so they can stay away from the crazy yanks that moved into the city.
That assumes every transplant moves from a large city. You guys need to get out more. Heck I shot with a member on here from CA last week. Guess what? He didn't move from a alrge city and I didn't hear him complain about a lack of sidewalks once.
not quite right...i said ive never seen one that was from a large city that didnt fit the bill - not that all transplants move from a large city.
ive also never seen a black mamba in the wild. i dont deny their existence, but they aint around here.
either way - i dont think anyone is saying that there arent exceptions - but generally the stereotype holds true. large city yank, moves to nc and complains that its not like the northern city they moved from and wants to recreate it.
ive gotten out a lot in my years - i dont want to get out anymore. my goal in life is to be a shut in.
This damn yankee thanks you for that response.Well my guess is your sample size was not very large, it's a big world out there.

When I was in Clear Lake for a NASA internship...a few summers in Dayton for PhD research...Boulder for grad school...living in Texas and Ottawa...and driving between all these places, that is exactly what I observed. I got along just FINE with all the rural folks, no matter where. Somewhere between "many" and "most" of the city folks were difficult to grok. Once I got messed up on the Kansas City turnpike (the interstate exits off the turnpike, not the other way around...) and had to dive into the rural part of the state to get back on track, everyone I met on those back roads was waving at me. Having driven from SC, I felt right at home...made me downright homesick.I tend to find a larger dissonance between city versus country than I do north versus south.
Escaped MA in 2008. Felt more at home here than in MA. Those effing crazy people elected murderers, child rapists and pimps as long as they are demoncrats.Unlike most of the northern financial refugees I didn't get here and immediately try and turn this place into where I left.
It is stunning how many city dwellers are willing to surrender their liberty for the illusion of security. And they believe that because they love city living that everyone should be forced to live in a city. Oregon passed a law pretty much mandating just that. They used the excuse of "preserving farm land." It is illegal to live outside defined areas unless one is actively farming (or very wealthy and pays a ranch staff).I tend to find a larger dissonance between city versus country than I do north versus south.
