I moved to a small town in North Carolina last year and half the people here are former New Yorkers. There should be a law that if you want to live in the South you have to check your liberalism at the Mason-Dixon Line.

Its a typical “refugee” syndrome. You flee a place because it sucks (political or religious oppression, high taxes, liberal policies, whatever). You arrive at a new place where none of of that exists (yet) and start to relax. But a short while later (6 months - 3 years) you start to get nostalgic for the Hell Hole you left behind. So, you start trying to recreate the conditions that made you leave in the first place. For liberals, this starts with a lament about the poor social services in their new state of residence. For Muslims, it starts with the construction of a new mosque.

We have always liked western NC. In fact, we spent part of this past winter in a small town near the Cherokee Reservation. The people were very friendly and the area is full of interesting history and beautiful scenery. We really enjoyed our visit.

Being from upstate NY and growing tired of the long winters, we considered making it our winter home. We subscribed to the local weekly paper so we can get a feel of what it's like year-round.

To our surprise, the newspaper reads more like a crime file. They devote an entire page every week to police reports. Nearly every other arrest is for meth or controlled Rx possession/sales. Counterfeiting, burglary, DUI, shootings, stabbings, rape and murder fill the balance. You would never expect the crime rate to be so high in this seemingly peaceful community.

Real estate is off the charts compared to upstate NY. Taxes are higher and the area is full of poisonous snakes. Nearly every job offered gives preference to the local tribe members. Food prices were just about as high as here. However, cigarettes were damn near free and like I said, the people are extremely friendly and helpful.

What was once a sleepy little town (20 years ago) is now infested with yuppies and LOTS of gays. We'll still visit in the winter, but for moving there permanently, fugetaboutit.

They don’t seem to understand that they fled the results of their own voting patterns. You se the same thing out West when Californians relocate. IDIOTS.

Reminds me of the story about the 4 college girls on a road trip:

One was from Idaho.

One was from Nebraska.

One was from North Carolina.

One was from New York.

They're driving off on this long road trip and a few hours along the girl from Idaho rolls down her window, reaches into her big purse and starts chucking potatoes out the window. The other girls say, "Girl, what are you doing?"

She replies, "Well, where I come from, we've got so many of these durn things, I just get sick of lookin' at 'em!"

Her friends reply, "OK then...."

They drive a littler further, and the girl from from Nebraska now rolls down her window, reaches into her big purse and starts chucking ears of corn out the window. The other girls say, "Girl, what are you doing?"

She replies, "Well, where I come from, we've got so many of these durn things, I just get sick of lookin' at 'em!"

Her friends reply, "OK then...."

Then they drive a littler further, and SUDDENLY the girl from North Carolina, rolls down her window, GRABS THE GIRL FROM NEW YORK, AND TRIES TO CHUCK HER OUT THE WINDOW.....
