Was just reading where a politico was spouting that Western Carolina is a conservative district and should be represented by a conservative in congress.
Horse hockey. There is a reason a Liberal is representing Western Carolina in congress you know. And that reason isn't that the area is any sort of conservative quite the opposite the area is very Liberal and individualistic.
To be fair, it is that individualism that can be misconstrued by those of weak minds and microscopic cognizant abilities.
It is always amusing to hear such drivel from those who do not live here or are new comers to the area.
With the exception of a cluster of troglodytes in the city of Charlotte (which has ever been out of touch with reality - they supported and comforted the British during the War for Independence ... the area's 'nickname' of "Hornet's Nest" was given to the area by Cornwallis as he hid in Charlotte from the surrounding area Scotsmen who had no love for him or the British and who forced him to flee to Yorktown - the rest they say is history), the area is steadfastly Liberal.
But the equally if not more so steadfastness of the individuality of the local native population (primarily Scots and Scots/Irish with some odd German and Native American thrown in), proves to be puzzling to those unfamiliar with the area - as evidenced by the spouting 'conservative' which prompted this post.
