What do you consider a RED STATE? North Carolina Red? Democratic governor and Democratic Legislature. Florida Red?

Why do bigoted people like you care where people move to? Are you afraid?

I bring many skills to the workforce, and my recent move has benefited the state that I moved to.

You need to brush up on your reading skills - I did not use the L word once.

Why is it only on C-D forums do Southerners hate Yankees? I never get that in real life. But all the time in the forums.

no no, you spelled the word right, you just used the wrong word. just get off the thread. I am looking for people who have relocated, and you are hijacking. it's tired.

If I had to guess, I'd guess that the minority of those expatting to a red state are not liberal or are retirees going there for the weather.

The baby boomers are retiring yanno, and their bones ache from building this country which many of us take for granted..

We bow down and worship you Barbie who have moved from a tax-insane state to the South to enjoy a more profitable lifestyle, yet still vote in a way to increase our tax burden - thank-you. It just makes no sense.

Hello? If you are in Chapel Hill that area is one of the most liberal areas in NC.

The OP likes to incite flame wars, beware. He is an amateur. I would say young, possibly not in years, but definitely in maturity.
