I spent a little time in Maine last summer.
It's a very white state, but it didn't strike me as a bagger state.
I may be wrong, but I think this Douchebag will be gone this November.

Is that something inherently bad? I suppose you'd like to see an equal distribution across the country. Hell, I'd go for that. California would once again be tolerable if we could redistribute, say, 15- 20 million people. What's the crime rate in Maine?
The NAACP hasn't been worthy of its esteemed history for at least a couple decades IMHO. The recent Sterling awards says much about the NAACP.

Spent some of my misguided youth in the great state of Maine. Got a target on my back by the local PD. Probably the van and long hair and the early seventies. Had to work in a shoe factory at the end to earn enough gas money to leave. So you can tell it's been awhile all the factories are gone so they tell me.
I can tell ya one thing about the locals, the dudes hated long hairs outsiders. The chicks not so much! All in all had a great time and enjoyed the experiences. But like most everywhere I've been in the US, country folk are clannish set in their ways.

The chicks always like guys from elsewhere, the guys not so much. Do tell me you had flowers on your van?

Yes, the presence of 'baggers is inherently bad. Personally, I believe they are an embarrassment to the human race and should be treated as such. However, I believe he was stating that Maine did NOT, in his opinion, appear to be a haven for those fools.
So, when did you start advocating for forced relocation, Brent? Sounds very Stalinistic of you to suggest such a thing.

Sounds like your example is painting with an overly broad brush. The Sterling deal was and is the local LA chapter and the now fired presidents actions. To brand the whole organization as not worthy of "its esteemed history" by one chapter is wrong.
Humble you're not.
