Bernie Sanders:

was born and raised in Brooklyn
moved to Chicago to attend college
then moved to Georgia to participate in the Civil Rights Movement
then moved to Israel to work on a kibbutz
then moved to Vermont to become a professional politician

Carpetbagger, thy name is Bernie Sanders.

I'm a little self protective for health reasons, so I tend to be a little too quick to put people in time out, but if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to read here at all.
