Dixie dust

You know...there's something mighty fucked up about the South:
  • Seems it's Confederate Heritage Month...because enslaving human beings, trying to break up the United States of America, and more American deaths than any other military conflict in our history because of some lunatic notions about states' rights superseding basic human dignity are so, so much to be proud of.
  • Texas, South Carolina, and Tennessee have decided that they're not interested in free Medicaid and don't care if more of their people die because of a lack of healthcare.  How letting people die gibes with their "pro-life" views will take a more batshit insane mind than mine to explain.
  • North Carolina doesn't think the Constitutional protection of freedom from religion applies to their state, and eleven state representatives have sponsored a resolution saying they can sponsor their very own state religion.  Here's guessing it won't be Wicca. (Note: this resolution has since been withdrawn.)
  • In perhaps the creme de la creme of Southern (not) hospitality, Tennesse has passed a bill in both houses that ties a family's welfare assistance to the performance of their kids grades (substandard grades can lead to a 30% reduction in benefits).  Hey kid, I know you're only seven, but get a C on this test and your baby sister's going hungry next week! 
What kind of fucking animals are these people? 

The South is a pimple on the ass of the United States of America.

Peace,
