    If red states had to support themselves without any federal money, they would be failed states on the level of Somalia within a decade. They already suck with federal money.

      And this is why the U.S. government would start a civil war if the West and Northeast tried to secede. The fascists hate us, but like abusers they think they own us, and most importantly they need our money.

    because you’re not going to be welcomed if you’re going to bring that Communist, Islamic atmosphere with you. We’re not going to deal with it. I’m telling you right now… “They are going to try and overwhelm us…We have got to fight back.”

    Yep, doesn’t get much more racist, Chumpish, stupid and cultish that that shit…

    Oh, and Christian, of course.

    What job has he ever had that wasn’t funded by taxpayers? He was a football coach at public colleges and is now a Senator. And he lost to Vanderbilt.

    I know someone who just drove from LA to Atlanta, taking pictures of his happy trip from state to state and sharing them online. But nothing from Alabama. When asked he said, “Less spoken of Alabama, the better.”
