The natural disasters caused by global warming is the only thing holding the union together.

Just when I think the old south will secede again. A flood, fire, or dust boll comes along and the states realize they cannot go it alone.

It puts off the dilemma of outlaw states but does nothing to tame the hate, and the stupid.

1. There might come a time when even that isn't enough. nt

5. As the food belt moves north and we lose most of NYC and the se coastline,

poor Canada will look like a new frontier!

6. I read cannot find it now a government report on security threats from global warming.

The lowland ass holes will want to move north and inland away from the ocean. After 2000 and 2010 as far as I am concerned Florida can learn to swim.

2. Yep, because the red states are all on welfare.

They would fold like a cheap house of cards without the federal government's largesse.

3. Another attempt to divide the people into red and blue.

Prove your claim -- and do not use federal money being used to maintain federal land, personnel and facilities in 'red' states.

7. Are you kidding?

It's a well known fact that the Blue States subsidize the lazy, good-for-nothing Red State Leeches.

Are you sure you're on the right website? This one is for Democrats.

One of thousands of linx: http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2012/02/14/how_blue_america_subsidizes_red_america.html

8. Your chart had no sources whatsoever.

I am sure that doesn't bother you as long as it fits in with your meme. Speaking of leeches I notice you don't contribute to maintain this site. A guess you must be from a red state.

[bongbong]

9. LOL

Want more evidence? Here's thousands of links. Take your pick.

10. Every single one of those links includes federal money for federal personal and facilities.

In my state (AZ) 71% of the land is owned, managed and controlled by the federal government. This includes 19 Native American reservations, 7 National forests, 18 National monuments, 3 national parks, and several military bases. I guess that is part of your leech crowd, right?

Red states have more military retirees. They are eligible for federal military disability payments and pensions. They are leeches also, right. Native Americans take part in the Native American Health Program but they are leeches also, right? A lot of older people retire here and collect federal SS payments but they are just leeching off the rest of us, right?

I would love to know what you are leeching off of.

11. prove it

> Every single one of those links includes federal money for federal personal and facilities.

In the words of the gun-relgionoits, "PROVE IT!"

And your point is a Red Herring ANYWAY.

[former9thward]

12. People on Social Security are leeches according to you.

Members of the military getting disability payments or pensions are leeches according to you. Again, answer the question, what are you leeching off of? I think there are other websites you would enjoy more than this one.

[bongbong]

13. According

You gun-relgionists sure enjoy the Strawmen. Is that what you guys shoot at?

[former9thward]

14. It was your statement.

Now you have to live with it.

[bongbong]

16. A lie from you

I never said what you claimed I said, and your silly attempt to change the subject is ... well, just typical.

[former9thward]

17. A lie?

Your post: the lazy, good-for-nothing Red State Leeches.

[Fawke Em]

15. More like another chance to South Bash without admitting

that about 40 percent of us are liberal Democrats.

And, it's MUCH harder to be a liberal Democrat in the so-called "red states" than it is in the blue ones. We're made of a tougher jib.

4. Lincoln an old fashion Republican handled sucession well last time.

I expect the same again. Bayonets will work well holding it together again. I would be willing to volunteer in that same as my Great Great Grandfather. I would also be a real thorn in the side of the Confederacy.
