And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A Texas think tank did a study that showed that Californians who move to Texas vote more conservatively than native Texans do by a margin of nearly 10%.
Elmo, do you have a link to that study? I'm *in* Texas, so that's good news, if true. Now if we could just get our local Leftists to move to California...or Venezuela.
It was longer ago than I remembered, and my memory wasn't very good on the details. But here's one link I found- https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/06/07/will-california-expats-turn-texas-blue-heres-the-surprising-polling-data/
and the nut quote from the transcript of the interview- "It’s just that, on the net, we generally get [30,000] to 40,000 more people coming here from California than we lose. So, is it a problem? Well, polling has suggested that it’s not. So, we have historic polling as well as poling we’ve done ourselves at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. It was a poll done 13 years ago by [the University of Texas at Austin] and the Texas Tribune showing that California [expatriates] are 57% to 27% conservative versus liberal."
Here's the article on the UT study- https://www.texastribune.org/2013/03/11/polling-center-californias-conservative-migration/
I think it sounds better sung when the word 'back' is left out. I always thought the Clampetts were from the Ozarks, between Turkey Ball Falls and Bugtussle.
Wikipedia says- "...the Clampetts, a poor, backwoods family from Silver Dollar City in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri..."
IMDb says- "Season 9's episode, The Clampetts Meet Robert Audubon Getty Crockett (1971), revealed that the Clampetts hail from Limestone, Tennessee, and not the Ozarks, as previously assumed. Granny is an ardent admirer of Daniel Boone and comes from 'Boone country'. Limestone is in northeast Tennessee, where Daniel Boone once lived."
I read that 50,000 per month are leaving the Land of Fruit and Nuts. Sadly, Idaho, Montana and Colorado are getting the bulk of the Cali-fornicators.

It's dated, but I hope this helps.
Thanks. I'll take a look at it. Hopefully it was, and still is, valid.
DeleteThey weren’t in Tennessee
ReplyDeleteRight! The Ozarks, Arkansas
DeleteGranny Moses was from Tennessee...
DeleteJed and Granny could pick off some blamtifa types, as I recall they could shoot the wings off a fly at 100 yards

If only they would...
ReplyDeleteBut I'm less annoyed by the Clampetts than I am with the Pelosis and Boxers...
Mr. Drysdale's family was from somewhere in Tennessee ( and Granny's family ran them out of the state).
ReplyDeleteRemove "back" and it's perfect! (Except they were from Arkansas.)
