kelpdiver 2 #28 December 6, 2012 Quote As for the second part. The blue states continually contribute more in taxes than they get back while the red states get more than they contribute. Than means that the lazy freeloading blue states actually are the ones that support the hard working patriotic red states Texas is a notable exception...getting shafted even worse than California.

RonD1120 58 #29 December 6, 2012 I caught a sound byte on the radio this morning that commented on a recent survey of Republicans, 21% believe socialism is an OK thing. As a country we are screwed.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Even you avail yourself of socialist programs that provide you government handouts. Either you're an evil socialist - or like most people in the US, you are OK with our mix of capitalism, socialism, communism, democracy, representative government, constitutional republic and meritocracy.
