RSS The Yankee Traitor

I moved to Brunswick County in the summer of 2006. One of my primary reasons for moving here was to live in the South and learn to enjoy the Southern lifestyle. But the influx of newcomers who refuse to accept the attitudes and manners of their adopted home are causing true Southern culture to be pushed aside. I'm alarmed by this development and plan to discuss the many issues involved in our new Civil War. As the Yankee Traitor, you know where I'm coming from, and I hope you let me know how you feel.
