Confederate Flag

lol the fuck are you talking about? the south doesn't get any more money than any other part of the country.

Holy wrong, batman. Those "shitheads" wanted to keep slaves for a reason. They needed them for at least a comparable representation to northern states in the lower house (our House of Representatives), and like it or not, slavery was an INCREDIBLY profitable industry for the South. Also, lol at, "...the people who ACTUALLY started this country saw the obvious flaw in that." Our country was established using the Constitution that we created during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, in which there were SOUTHERN DELEGATES AND PROPONENTS OF SLAVERY. It was during this convention that these men (and the fucking northern delegates) decided to bar the issue of slavery from debate for another 20 years. The men who started this country were literally swimming in the wealth generated from the use of slaves. I'm also from a rural part of Connecticut, but people like you who still find a way to be uneducated in a state founded on principles of education are the real disgrace, not the harmless idiots who like to fly a flag. Get learned, bitch.

well slavery had a role in it, but you guys tried to leave and in the long run we probably did you a favor. you guys wouldn't have lasted long on your own.

States receiving the most federal funding per tax dollar paid:

1. New Mexico: $2.63
2. West Virginia: $2.57
3. Mississippi: $2.47
4. District of Colombia: $2.41
5. Hawaii: $2.38
6. Alabama: $2.03
7. Alaska: $1.93
8. Montana: $1.92
9. South Carolina: $1.92
10. Maine: $1.78

Contrary to popular belief, those who make the most noise noise complaining about Federal spending and the programs said spending support, are in fact the same people who collect those Federal dollars and who coincidentally don’t want to give up the programs. Their states; the RED ones… receive more per dollar, than they give,as a recent New York Times article documents–even as fiscally conservative lawmakers complain about deficit spending–their constituents don’t want to give up the Social Security checks, Medicare benefits, and earned income tax credits that provide a safety net for the struggling middle class.”


The secret is not so secret after all, many Red states are really parasites and gold-diggers when it comes to collecting Federal dollars even though they are the most vociferous about government spending.MotherJones.com posts some wonderful maps that highlight these bloodsucking states who want you to believe that they are really against expanding the government spending that they crow about. Empty vessels really do make the most noise.

MotherJones adds…”Of the 22 states that went to McCain in 2008, 86 percent received more federal spending than they paid in taxes in 2010. In contrast, 55 percent of the states that went to Obama received more federal spending than they paid in taxes. Republican states, on average, received $1.46 in federal spending for every tax dollar paid; Democratic states, on average, received $1.16.”

Candidate Ron Paul has said that he is happy to see natural disaster victims go without federal help, as was done in his days 100 years ago; (when he was alive, this author believes he is in fact a zombie, thereby void of human feelings) something that many conservatives echo…until they are the victims of a Tornado, flood, or hurricane and consequently become the unwilling, kicking and screaming (wink wink) recipients of FEMA assistance.

It is also not a secret that when Republicans are in office; Reagan, Bush Sr., Bush jr…they spend the most and run up the most debt, blowing cash like drunken sailors, sabotaging America’s economy, knowing that when the Democrats hold office, the cry from the Republicans would change to be a deafening one to reduce federal spending. They are nothing but hypocrites and downright liars.

Conservatives have been well known for voting against their own interest and unknown to them, if they are successful in voting-in their conservative political figures, the first programs to be cut or whittled down are the same ones that these conservative states depend on to feed their citizenry. Apparently conservative voters have not yet connected the dots to figure out that Democratic states who are paying more and getting back less are in fact the ones responsible for supporting the real welfare states…the Red states.

In other words the Republican and Conservative citizenry owe their very existence to the Democrats they pretend to hate so much… the Democrats who put food on their Conservative tables and who keep the roof over their Republican heads.

This reminds me of the old saying, ‘Be careful what you wish for’ and I for one would have loved my hard earned taxes to go to some more deserving Blue states. But the good book says we should be charitably to the least of us and their actions do show they are the least of us, especially when it comes to their willingness to hate others in one way or another–for one religious reason or another–and their gullibility and nearsightedness while listening to and believing the lies of their Republican politicians, who tout that a fictitious ‘freedom’ is worth depriving women, immigrants and the downtrodden of the dignity and respect they deserve.

Zzz droppin knowledge up thur^

Cool copy paste skizzz... hahahahahah, pretty sure that's all you do.. And it's a fucking flag, calm yourself people.

its the flag of traitors.

Actually they receded because the federal government wanted to end slavery. A bulk of the south's economy relied on free human labor whereas the north was more technologically advanced so they didn't care of it was abolished.

It's pathetic how ignorant some of you kids are.

Red states =/= the south... and only two of your top 10 states receiving federal funding are part of the south soooooo yeah...

I don't care about that I was implying all states do not get the same amount of federal money.

"The War of Northern Aggression"

youre the flag of traitors

This.

What does that have to do with this thread? If you look, I wasn't saying that every state gets an equal share of federal funding (obviously every state doesn't get an equal share of federal money, a five year old could tell you that), I was trying to refute Amadeus' point that states in the south freeload off the government.

What point are you trying to make? It only makes sense to get pissed when the federal government is threatening to set your economy back a hundred years... I'll let you in on a little secret, southerners back then would've used an alternative to slaves had a better one been provided. They didn't exist solely to oppress black people even at the cost of efficiency.

what exactly are you saying is cheaper than free labor?

And the very fact that the north had factories is a sign that they were more advanced.

But I'll say, the south was much more agriculturally reliant than the north. They needed that economy. Removing slavery would have dug into the money they made from that industry though, so of course they weren't happy.


It's just not the sole reason the civil war occurred.

Oh my god! finally some logic in this thread! THANK YOU!

Companies up north started outsourcing to other countries that provided goods at a cheaper price than the south could. And factory is a hell of a lot cheaper than slave labor if you have enough poor people willing to work for you.

I am NOT A FLAG!!!

I hope you are kidding, the term skinhead orriginated in england, it is not skynheads its skinhead in reference to the fact that SKINHEADS have shaved heads
