I am yankee born and raised. I moved to Texas in 1998. I have loved every minute of it! Texas is a proud state but not unlike many states if you were born there. I was taught the history of my birth state as well. Maybe that should be the pre-requisite for one when he or she moves to a new state.

The state I am transplanted from is by map, a blue state. It wasn't always and really isn't to this day. The people were hoodwinked by the democraps promising jobs to a people who were going through very hard times. They made good on those promises by bringing business into the state. It was at a cost to the people. Unbeknownst to the people, the politicians brought in only the type of business that supported their liberal views. An influx of flatlanders (big city folk that have never done a hard days labor) from surrounding states were encouraged to move there (If you haven't seen the movie, Funny Farm with Chevy Chase, check it out not too far off the mark). The native population have been trying to vote them out ever since but they are out numbered. The proud people of that state have generations that go way back in history are now leaving. It's unfortunate but they are a much wiser and they are less trusting of the government.

Be careful not to broad stroke a label as to make any newcomer feel unwelcome. Texas hospitality is unparalleled in any other state I've lived in outside my native state. I felt very welcomed and I intend to welcome any newcomer that may find a home here regardless of where they hailed from. As it's been said, "I wasn't born in Texas but I got here as fast as I could." If I find out any newcomer has been influenced by liberal views, then I will do my best to persuade them to crossover from the dark side into the light.
