Your northern transplants sound a bit like the immigrants coming to America, live in enclaves of like immigrants who want everything they left in the old country, brought to their neck of the woods. Don’t speak, but a smattering of English, want an American education, but the Americans teaching their children must speak their motherland’s language, or at least understand it.

—Some FRiendly advice. Keep the little critter indoors at night, unless “city slicker” metrosexual dog is packing heat. Recommend a 45.—

We got him a .380 with a paw trigger but we won’t let him carry it in the house.

Seriously though, the night thing is very watched around here. He’s too big for them, but the Turkey Buzzards make my wife a bit nervous.

You are mistaking cliquish for clannish. Big difference. You can’t belong to the South unless you have roots here. We’re pretty set on that, but we’ll still be nice to you.

Also, you misunderstood. You were not mistaken for a Northerner. You were mistaken for a Yankee. Again, a big difference.

Them paw triggers are wonderful inventions. My dog is a crack shot, but I do wish he would quit bringing his kills home for me to clean.

Haha - maybe SC needs a border fence with a “legal” immigration process! Question #1 on the immigration questionnaire: Who did you vote for in 2008?

;-)

He is sort of a “city slicker” metrosexual dog anyway.

Now thats funny, I don’t care who ya are....

Welcome. Exactly...we all want roads and sewer and water if we can get it. We need decent schools but we don’t need schools that teach agendas. Here in NC we HAVE been infected with damnyankeeitis...its gotten in our schools and our governments.

But if enough folks like yourself emmigrate to counteract the Agenda 21/leftistfascist crowd, maybe we can preserve whats real and what this country is really about.

I am so with you on that. We don’t always share the same “tastes”. And, truth be told, a couple of them possum he brought home had tire marks on ‘em...

Just sayin’.

Good video! Yes, I knew these things, and we are on the cusp of revisiting most of this again in our country because these issues were not fully resolved at that time. Now, the “rich” are being burdened with the 80% that the South shouldered in those days. Gem! Bookmarking!

I actually got into a “huge” back and forth with the local liberal pitt bull on Topix. I shut the guy down. I actually caught him red handed tag teaming me with two different User names. Probably using IE for one and Firefox for the other.

I guess his bullying worked with wearing down some of the locals, but I just pressed on and he fully exposed his own ignorance in quantifiable and quotable ways. I think he expected me to back down, but he was obviously nowhere near as knowledgable as he claimed to be. He literally just stopped posting. Probably created another userid...

I don’t let those types get away with making BS comments without backing them up. He hadn’t gotten that before. Either that or he had found a way to effectively shout down people who took him on. My skin is very thick.

LOL, and thanks for the fun. btw .. there are classes that teach how to cook roadkill. Haven't been to one, but understand there is a roadkill cook off somewhere. I recommend you send your dog to one of those cooking classes, and make him cook his own meals. My dog has me too well trained. My dog sent me to cooking classes for training. I didn't learn a thing.

Thanks daisy for the compliment. May you make some Yankees very unhappy, cause latest I've heard is them Yankees are now pressing for a Happy Department, inside the government. Them Yankees never learn, well some of them Yankees never do.

I live in Georgia. On our small street(5 houses) we counted the number of firearms.... a grand total of 32. Not too shabby.

Slackers! I have that many in my safe alone!

You are right, there is the language thing. It took me forever to figure out what the eye on the stove was and how to crank the car.

That migration wasn't limited to white Yankees like me. The nation's African American population grew 1.7 million over the last decade — and 75 percent of that growth occurred in the South, according to William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution.

That proves nothing regarding migration. What if 75% of the black population lives in the South? Then one would expect a similar percentage of the growth. Or is Sothern blacks are more likely to procreate. Or if 80% of blacks live in the South and some move north resulting in an increase in black population in the north higher than its original percentage.
