North Carolina Becomes a Megastate



North Carolina according to the 2010 census is now the 10th most populous in the union. The Tar Heel state grew by 1.5 million people since 2000. But it wasn’t enough to take away a congressional seat from Minnesota; the difference was about 15,700 people. North Carolina will continue to have thirteen seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.


The socialist policies of the progressive north have flushed productive businesses and citizens from their utopian, collective cesspool into the warm embrace of the south. This could be considered one of the greatest migrations in American history; second only to the time of Horace Greeley.

The progressive’s mouths are watering. They see a voting bloc that will transform the very red South into a pinko blue. But the dynamics did not play out in this past election. Democrats have dominated the N.C. General Assembly over the past decade. They had their asses handed to them last November. It will be the first time Republicans had control of the House since 1999 and the Senate since 1898.

Maybe there is some hope for our northern transplants, and that they’re cognizant of the reasons why they left their home and came south. We can only hope that they will not bring change.
