39. The south is still fighting The Civil War but now it's an economic civil war and
they're winning this time because we are letting them win. The south, almost to a state, gets more money back from the federal government than they put in year after year. Without those federal welfare dollars those southern states wouldn't have the money to subsidize the new auto plants they sought from foreign manufacturers.

Next year when the budget comes up for a vote, cut the fucking federal tax redistribution welfare program to the south and let's see how well these traitorous, anti-American southern senators and their constituents do.

They want to play hardball. It's time they get beaned. But Reid and the Democrats don't sound like they have the balls to do anything of the sort. And PE Obama sounds as if he actually believes he can work with these people. I hope he has his eyes opened by all of this or he's in for a rude awakening.
