      <![CDATA[The citizens of Tennessee DO NOT have to give away the farm to "appear" friendly to outsiders. It is OUR state and we have the right to protect its borders, its future and all that makes Tennessee work!<br>
<br>
It is not mean-spirited, rude or unfriendly to require outsiders to adapt to the Tennessee way of life and that is, integrity, strong-work ethic, respect for our flag and country and to learn English.<br>

      <![CDATA[ChrisAllen:  Having lived in California for many years I know what goes on there and I know what the taxes are (5% income and 9.5% sales and an inventory tax for businesses in February) and I know that San Fransisco is the most liberal city in America and I know that the state is broke and, like all blue states, having a hard time of it financially. I believe that Nashville Progressives would like to turn Nashville into San Fransisco.

"dismissing concerns as "self-loathing," isn't going to encourage that."<br>
<br>
I agree with much of your post. But I stand by my contention that there is a strain of self-loathing among some Southern liberals.

"FFF was referring to "Tea party conservatives,"<br>
<br>
And when did the left start accepting that there was any difference? It seems to me that since the Tea Party movement began, the left and its lackeys in the media have taken every opportunity to cast the most extreme tea partiers as the public face of all thing conservative.

Thanks for showing up to demonstrate that some on the left cannot open their mouths or sit down at a keyboard without making such incorrect and harmful comments. It was white conservatives who made the difference in electing Nashville's first black Vice Mayor.

      <![CDATA[I'm from Mississippi, which everyone expects to be more racist & intolerable to minorities, but to be honest, I've never heard/seen close to the amount of racism there as I have here. Nashville was trying to secure the deal for World Cup in a few years, but when you've got local radio sports stations & music stations making FUN of soccer on air, how does Nashville expect anything but a "No" vote?

      <![CDATA[Tea party conservatives in power don't want Tennessee to stay the way it is.  They want it the way it was, before the Civil Rights Law, before Reconstruction and even before the Civil War, if they get the chance. TN may be a beautiful state but it's people, the conservatives in power and the conservatives who put them there, are pretty ugly.

      <![CDATA[Tennesseans (of all political stripes) also don't want our votes to continue to be counted by flying monkeys. However, with the vote yesterday to postpone the implementation of the Tennessee Voter Confidence Act INDEFINITELY, the current stain of Republicans (s)elected by our unverifiable voting machines definitely do.
