They don't know any other way to be but the way they were, but in a more favorable climate. My question is: where will they go once they suck the South dry of all the good and unique things about being Southern and leave us as a dried, burnt out, over-taxed wasteland husk? My guess is: West. And the cycle will begin all over again - actually already has - see CA, AZ.

This is basically true for anywhere that is nice. People from Boston are moving to Portland after they retire in masses and real estate is becoming insane and the liberals hate they can't afford to live here anymore. People can have the hell hole that is N. Va and it's a matter of time before Yankees ruin Asheville and Boone NC

Add New Orleans to that list.

And coastal Florida, from Tampa, south on the Gulf-side. And then most of Atlantic-side FL coastal cities and towns.

The other day I stopped on the side of the road, munched on my fresh out the shell lobster roll, munched on some wild blueberries and roasted a bone(which pot is 100% legal for possession throughout the whole state now) and enjoyed one of the most amazing sunsets I've ever seen.


Substitute lobster with King Crab, and it sounds like the area I live. Lots of common things between Southeast AK and Coastal Maine.

Stopping me from what? Missouri being first state to choose who gets to move to it instead of taking anyone who wants to move or gets put in with crap like HUD?

Liberals like free shite but dont want to pay for it... they trying to find states with more accommodating tax structures... then they'll bitch and complain about the lack of social programs, drive taxes up, and then move.

Sh...facts and numbers are scary and confusing.

Let's just stick to our Rush Limbaugh talking points.

I think people forget about the vast amount of southern white trash milking our system..... guess since they seem like good ol Baws instead of dindus, it's easily glossed over
