Carpetbagger 

Carpetbaggers have a long history. The first Carpetbaggers came to the South from Yankee states after the Civil War to make a quick buck. Later Carpetbaggers moved to the South in the 1970s when the big 3 automakers in Detroit started to fail. Modern-day Carpetbaggers primarily move to 5 cities in Texas (El Paso, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas) to escape the wretched economic prospects of their home states (usually California and Yankee states). They will take jobs from Texans and are generally ungrateful bastards, frequently calling Texans rednecks and complaining about how it sucks here as compared to their squathole in Mexifornia or New England. If Texas sucks so much, then why are you here?
The most famous modern-day Carpetbagger is Joseph Stack, the guy who rammed his plane into the IRS building in Austin.

Get out of Texas, carpetbagger!

Colorado Carpetbagger 

Hundreds of thousands of people moved to Colorado, especially Denver and Colorado Springs, starting in 2014 for the legal weed and generous government benefits. Colorado

Carpetbaggers are entitled, obnoxious, pushy people throwing around their money in designer yoga pants while driving either a Subaru or a Mercedes-Benz.

These people paid premium rental prices so they could open and work in MJ dispensaries or grow centers starting in 2015 and totally drove housing prices through the roof. Colorado is now an state with "a very 'high' cost of living" and a burgeoning homeless problem to boot....Go away Colorado Carpetbagger.
Colorado Carpetbaggers come here, exploit this cool fun city , drive irresponsibly while overrunning the natives, and leaving them where natives can't afford to live here. They take advantage of the kind polite folks by making demands and then complain about the price later.

So Take your entitled Colorado Carpetbagger ass back to where you came from. Then Colorado Carpetbagger, get a real job where nobody subsides you and driving while you are stoned is illegal.

carpetbagger 

When northern people came to the south to take advantage of their poor situation when they were vulnerable. This was after the Civil War and people were upset about it.

There is a modern day version which does not occur too much. See example for more.
Hillary Clinton. She came to New York from out of state, not knowing much. Bill tried to be cool and get an office in Harlem, but not one person bought that and saw through his attempts to conceal his non-new yorker self. You can't just go to another place and act like you own it. Con artists are good at this, and that is how she won.

For years, and even today, (real) New Yorkers have held signs and had bumper stickers saying things such as "Hillary GO HOME"

It is commonly understood that Hillary Clinton is not a New Yorker. However, it is equally understood that as she changes her mind on issues in a matter of minutes or depending on the audience, that she may change who she is (for example: saying she is from New York to New Yorkers, when she really is not. She could learn some lessons from Obama (a real democrat) who is consistent and does not tell lies.

What made hillary a Carpetbagger?: she took advantage of New York and her fame and ran for Senator. She was elected after her strong opposition was diagnosed with prostate cancer and was forced to drop from the race. After she was elected, it was clear she had no real interest in New York, and she was going to simply use it to run for President down the line. She knew it was impossible to beat President Bush in 2004, so she waited until now, and here she is. If she was serious about New York, she would do more than vote for $1 million in Tax funds for the hippie Woodstock concert museum, but the majority of New York's fire and ambulance services are volunteer and don't have enough federal funding. This shows her lack of genuine interest in New York.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
