Much of the country thinks that most of the residents of West Virginia are related and look like this.

Let them keep on thinking that - it's fine with us. Keeps out the riff-raff.

"They" already started invading the Eastern Panhandle of WV - it's often considered a suburb of DC. But as long as they adapt to our ways, we let them stay. However, no flag burning, big government, anti-gun, anti-rights and personal freedom, far left liberals need apply. When they come a-knocking we will send them out your way.

West Virginia, Texas and Montana have a lot in common and I think i know what it is.
Great folks and little tolerance for government bull do-do !

There is a folk lore legend that always haunted me. A soldier returned to his remote mountain home at the end of the civil war. No one recalls if he was Union or Confederate. There were both in WV. News of the war's end had not yet reached this isolated hollow. The locals hung the soldier because they believed him to be a deserter.
