I for one wish the radical red states would secede.
Except for Texas they collectively have no economy whatsoever. Texas has oil - otherwise it'd be bust.
The economy of Texas is one of the largest and most rapidly growing economies in the United States. As of 2011, Texas is home to six of the top 50 companies on the Fortune 500 list and 51 overall, (third most after New York and California).[9] The Texas economy is the second largest in the nation and the 15th largest in the world based on GDP (nominal) figures. As the largest exporter of goods in the United States, Texas currently[when?] grosses more than $100 billion a year in trade with other nations.

The red states get the lions share of the federal handouts.
If the blues states could get rid of the red states our economies would boom - especially because we could get rid of most of the wingnut lunatic and run our national economy without their B.S. stopping us.
It'd be great!

Here's a thought. Stop voting for politicians that send your money to them. What a novel idea, huh. I always laugh when I see you guys bitching about all your money going to the red states while at the same time you all keep voting to do it.
I never complain. I think we are our brother's keepers and our white southern christian brothers are in need of dental care, edumacation, sex realignment surgery, and electro shock therapy. I say we foot the bill

I can't help but laugh at what an imbecile the OP is. This idiot thinks that just because their side won, we should all completely unite under Obama. Well, guess what, half this country is going to treat Obama the same way the OPs side treated George W. Bush. This is what is comical, they think we should unite under their president, in spite of their actions while Bush was president.
I am no fan of Bush, but I have this to say, if you want us to unite behinde your president, quit acting like the fucking devisvie assholes you are when there is a Republican president. Life not a one way street, a sword does not only cut one way. Nobody forgets how your side compared George W. Bush to Hitler, made a sorry excuse for a documentary title Farenheit 9/11, wanted Bush tried as a war criminal...you know what, if you want socialism, get outta America and move to Europe, this country was NOT founded upon your socialist, collectivist utopia you want here.
You want unity, well next time a Republican is elected president, show some respect, until then...go fuck yourselves.
And I also completely agree with Syrenn, where is the link!!!!
You want Respect but show none.Reality check. An insurrection is a threat to the Union. Federal laws that regulate drugs and alcohol and other things are in a different ballpark
stop being an idiot
This thread has ZERO evidence of an armed insurrection. In fact the links are to a petition to be sent to Congress to ask to be allowed to peacefully leave the Union. Which is Constitutional and legal.
You'd be stealing the property of the United States of America.
What, you think we're just going to let you walk away stealing our land, our citizens and more?
Nah. You're staying. We are the British, and we won't let you leave without a fight.
At least with the original American war of independence, we were a fucking colony. You're trying to secede as fully established states, jeopardizing the safety and well being of the rest of us.

Florida has been thriving on Northern money for the past 50 years - and that's over.

The wife works at a grocery store, so you know that she has seen it all, and tonight she said to me that a lady may be calling in on her tommorrow, so I asked why ? She said that she (the lady) has "wic" (a government program for mothers with children who are poor), and that "wic" is very picky now about what can be purchased and what cannot be purchased with this "wic".
Ok so the lady brought two gallons of milk to the counter, and wic only allows the milk to be store labeled or store brand milk, and not the more expensive brand milk (in which I dis-agree with such a policy myself), because it should not matter what type of milk that a person is buying for their children, just as long as they don't exceed the amount of gallons that is alotted/allocated for them in the program. Anyway the store only had one gallon of store brand milk and the rest was the more expensive brand milk. The more expensive brand milk won't ring up on the wic voucher, so it cannot be bought/purchased even if the person wanted to buy it with the wic voucher. Ok so here my wife and this lady stands, and the lady says to my wife, well what do you want me to do, because I need two gallons of milk tonight, and my wife said the only thing that she could do is get a gallon of the store brand 2% milk, but the woman refused and said that her children won't drink that milk, and so my wife said that she can come back in the morning to get the other gallon when the truck gets there if she can or wants to, but the woman again refused and said, there is no way that I am coming back up here to get my milk when the truck gets here, I need it tonight.
My wife then figured that she wanted my wife to ring up the other gallon at the store brand price, and then let her go with it, but her boss said that my wife did the right thing by refusing any such notion in the situation, because the lady could have easily been an undecover agent for wic. Next the lady pulled out a piece of paper and wrote my wifes name tag down, as if my wife had done her wrong in the situation, when she didnot do her wrong, and was just doing what these programs say do. I got plenty of stories to tell from my wifes experiences in this type of work, and people would be amazed at what goes on.
Personally as I said before, the wic should except any type of milk that the mother is purchasing (nutrition is important for children), but not to exceed the amount of gallons as is allocated fo a single family.
I thought the dems were for nutrition and health for the kids, but it apears with the way this is set up, it is all about the money spent by the government in this situation, instead of truly being about the nutrition for the kids in such a situation. Can you believe this, but the woman was wrong for getting mad at my wife in the situation, and it just showed her ignorance in the situation. If they (the dems) will do this against children (hold back nutrition at the highest levels), then what will they do with the old when it comes to their health care and such ? Can we say death panels are on the way? I think we can safely say that it is true. I mean these are children they are denying nutritious milk to, and are forcing these mothers that are on the program, to buy the cheapest milk they can buy for their children or not have any milk at all. This woman should have been livid at the government, but she instead was mad at my wife for not cheating the government for her in the deal, and then she thinks she can cause my wife trouble for not doing so.. I feel sorry for people ya know...
You're damn right it's about the money spent. It's a valid and reasonable cost containment method. If the woman wants the more expensive brand label milk she can pay for it herself. If she needed it so badly then why didn't she? This is, after all, a free hand out for her and her family so I'm not sure what makes you think she deserves more than the basic when she isn't the one paying for it. Do I deserve to drive a Mercedes if all I can afford is a Ford?

Couldn't agree more.
