Southern Discomfort: U.S. Army seeks removal of Lee, ‘Stonewall’ Jackson honors

[Gargamel]

It wont work, too many of the Confederate Red States of America depend on FEMA & Food Stamps too much. The first disaster such as a Tornado, Hurricane, or a missed EBT recharge would cause them to surrender without a shot being fired like the Italians do.

Several missed EBT recharges would be instant chaos in ANY state, Red or Blue....

Needs to happen.

Needs to happen.

It wont happen. There are too many GOP "friendly" companies out there that have a vested interest in producing the goods and sevices food stamp recipients purchase with those food stamps. I dont forsee them simply allowing their golden calf to be taken away by Republicans since the Republicans dont want to offend those companies which would stop giving "contributions" to them.

Despite saying things totally different to energize the voting base, the GOP LOVES the Food Stamps program.

...an unidentified official — not the commandant, Maj. Gen. Anthony A. Cucolo III — asked the administration why the college honors two generals who fought against the United States.

We fought against the north because the north sent troops to the south and attacked US, then waged a campaign of terrorism against a civilian population.

How long til we can secede?

Good work at ignoring the simple fact that when you compare sheer numbers, there are more total people on welfare in blue states than in red states. California alone has 34% of the countries welfare collectors living in it's borders, and it has more people on welfare than the bottom 30 states combined. Should we discuss New York, Illinois, Ohio? The top 5 blue states have over 80% of the nation's total welfare recipients.

Don't let facts get in the way of anything that jerk off has to say. He never consults any. He lives in his own la la obama land.

Pretty much, yep. I think a better title for the Civil War remains The War of Northern Aggression.

It wont happen.

Until there is a currency crisis or the inflation that comes as a result of preventing it means the benefits paid are worthless. One of those scenarios will happen, it is only a matter of time.

My mom graduated from Robert E Lee High School in Robert Lee Texas. True story….

The fucked up thing about a currency crisis in the US would be, what currency could supplant the dollar, if it failed? Would different currencies supplant it in certain regions? Surely they would just devalue it, like European countries used to do.

You would think that all you need is a valid alternative. Then again, these things tend to happen in unexpected ways. One thing is for sure, running up the public debt doesn't decrease the odds of it happening.

Thats is ONE way to look at it... counting one as one. The problem there is that a large population state is naturally going to have more. Kind of like how Texas Conservatives like to complain when any journalist points out that Texas leads the nation in the number of uninsured people, low wage workers, high school drop outs, unwed teen mothers, etc

The best way to look at it is what percentage of a states actual population is on welfare. I think we both can agree that Deep Red states the likes of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, West Virginia, South Carolina, etc., etc, etc..... Have a far higher percentage of residents on welfare than those top 5 blue states.

And yes... both Lee and Jackson were traitors that should have been tried for treason and hung.

There is none.... Just like there is no gold stored in Ft Knox.

Everyone will accept the US Dollar at face value no matter what happens because the alternative is unthinkable. Though it does provide good story cover for all the gold & silver companies to buy air time on rightie radio to sell their products and services.

No, that is just a good excuse for....
