Okay, then why aren't you going to Mexico instead of the southern U.S.?

Perfectly TRUE. Just look at the prisons. They didn't end up there because they were behaving.

PC-types just don't like to look at truth in the face, because they want to believe in some kind of utopia that doesn't exist, and never will. And worse, they want to make sure anyone with a different opinion is shut up.

Discussing whether or not the South is a bad place, is to me, a matter of opinion. And I think Northerners are hypocrits by choosing to live down here while hating it so much.
As others have pointed out, immigrants to the South from the Northern states [esp the Northeast & West Coast] is already showing results. The fact that Virginia and North Carolina voted Democratic is an example. Also all the transplants in the large cities of the South [Atlanta\ Houston\ Dallas] are strongly influencing the way people think & why the Republican party is basically dead in the large cities & university towns in the South.

The change is in & the old way of the South is dying finally [it can't come faster].

Excellent point. As more people move south, those states become more liberal and therefore worth living in. Virginia and North Carolina are excellent examples.

Frankly I wouldn't live there because of the lousy climate, their unique view of history, and the fact that they seem to have just a general dislike of folks with 'book larnin', but if some of the rest of you would move down there and do some civilizing, I might come for a visit.

While they probably shouldn't be treated as a reflection of notherners as a whole, your emotionally-charged comments and child-like view of the world--particularly, of the south--have, if anything, underlined that even simple-minded people and others of inferior quality sometimes find the initiative in themselves to move to better places. Whether intentionally or not, you've done a fair job of painting northerners as rude and belligerent, but not intelligent and insightful.

Do you honestly believe Republicans in the South acknowledge or praise Abraham Lincoln? Southerners became Republican when the GOP became racist and are anything but a reflection of President Lincoln.

I grew up in the northeast and now live in the south, moved here in the early 1990's.

I love it here. Not only is it wonderful, the people and culture are wonderful and I'm very proud to be living here. I never came down here with the intention of wanting it to be like the northeast, if that was the case I would have stayed up there. If you don't like it here, don't come down here. I promise you won't be missed.

In your post above you tell me that the Northern liberal way of doing things is more desirable and that you come down here to be apart of the enclaves in the South where a lot of transplants have relocated and left their liberal influence. Once again you are losing your own argument. Why do you think it is better to live in a state that is 25% Northern liberal transplant when you could otherwise live in a state like New York that is 80% the real deal?

You still aren't answering my question. I am really getting irritated with this hatred that is shown towards the South, when none of you seem to be able to answer my question directly with legitimate explanations for your hypocritical hateful arguments.


It makes me think that there is something else you don't want to admit to. Like perhaps, you like it better down here because there are more jobs and lower taxes. The socialist welfare states you have created in the great and mighty North obviously aren't working out too well, huh?

Let me also say this.....as I have said before, most of the world is very intolerant and racist. This is human nature. You talk about how you wish to colonize the South and change us. Well why don't you want to colonize the Middle East? Why don't you want to go and inforce your liberal viewpoints on the racist Japanese? What about the racism that exists in Latin America?

Racism exists everywhere. It is hateful for you to suggest you want to invade the South so you can change us. Well guess what, there are more of us down here than you, and you aren't changing us without a fight.

White people everywhere are getting fed up with this perverse, destructive liberalism that white liberals in Europe and in North America are trying to enforce on their respective populations. In Europe, the far right, anti-immigrant parties keep gaining more and more votes each election. The European leadership may appear liberal, but most of the European people have had enough of this diversity and multi-culturalism that is getting enforced on them through massive Third World immigration.

The same reaction is occuring in America. White people everywhere are starting to awake to what it is liberals are trying to do to this country. You see this with the Tea Parties going on everywhere. You saw this with the recent state elections that have gone on (sorry, but Virginia still appears to be a red state). You are seeing more and more anger being shown all over the internet. We have had enough.

Please tell me what it is that liberalsim wants to achieve that is so much better for the Southern U.S. and the rest of the Western world? Do you want your nice little lily white , cobble-stoned, artsy, coffee shop on every corner, towns to be recreated in the South? I have gone up North, and I agree that these types of areas are nice. But all of these ultra liberal artsy quaint towns just happen to always be 100% white for some odd reason.

So tell me what it is you want. Do you want to stay in your sheltered white communities while you enforce diversity on white Southerners who live in states that are 30 to 40 percent nonwhite? Would you like to examine (from a distance of course) what liberalism has done to parts of New York City and all of Detroit? These cities resemble the Third World more than anything else. Your liberal tolerant multicultural utopias that you invision always seem to work at the detriment of other white people around the country who don't make as much money and who are forced to live in areas that have high minority populations. Is it any surprise to you that we tend to be a bit more conservative or in other words , realistic, about our racial viewpoints?
