re: South Carolina introduces bill that would allow secession over gun rights

There’s plenty of states that would be better off without the burdens of federal funding after the initial shock of the change, especially states in southeast and Midwest

I want to give South Carolina a big ol' Bear hug.
Id love to see more states do this.
We will be swift to follow our SC brothers again. Onward

All of you who make comments like this are nothing more than treasonous ideologues and idiots.
As much as conservatives talk about patriotism, the flag, democracy and freedom, they show little evidence of embracing those things. You're all like spoiled little brats who want to take their ball and go home.

BTW, it ain't happening. Even if it were possible you would fail. Your economies and infrastructure are so tied to the Federal government you'd be shite out of luck. Your healthcare costs would be staggering when ol' granny can't use her Medicare card at Spartanburg General Hospital. Companies would flee in big numbers. Dream on dumbasses.

There’s two types of welfare. The south gets the food stamps and section 8 en masses while the northeast gets the grants and research dollars.

The United States is 17 Trillion dollars in debt. California alone is responsible for over 5 trillion of that. So explain to me again how they are footing the bill for the rest of the country?

You are confusing terms and making up figures....but I’m sure it works with dim witted GOPers making ‘ Merica great again.......

om the individual mandate. That also doesn't show up on the federal books, but the net result is exactly the same as it would be if the government raised taxes on working people and cut a check to Aetna/Wellpoint.

The condition predates the individual mandate by about 35 - 50 years but nice spin...



And the individual mandate reductions in cost increases and actual premiums for those of us who were adequately insured before more than offsets the tax imposed on those who refused to provide themselves with adequate protection and inevitably wound up being a burden to the rest of us. Those of us responsible enough to be adequately insured are going to pay for those who have seen their premiums rise because they were too irresponsible to pay their way.....if you doubt this explain the number of debt collectors working in the medical field.....providers are either being paid by 5hose who can so so or they are going out of business.....

Hey if I remember my history, the south was making the country most of the money in 1860. Anyway, if the south succeeded now the north would freeze in the winter and lose most of their major military bases.

---

Yeah your memory is fuzzy......about 30% of the nations wealth and revenue came from the south......at the expense of slaves......had yankee manufacturers had no wages they’d have been infinitely wealthier than southern planters....as it was they were merely twice as wealthy......the south couldn’t even feed and educate itself.....we imported grain and sent our sons to Boston to educate them......all we have ever had was cheap, pliable labor

The southern cotton Farmers wanted to sell that cotton directly to England and France because the north was it tight cheap m*********** and didn't want to pay what it should have paid for it and that's the reason you had a civil war not because of black people

You don't understand patriotism. It has nothing to do with my government

I get blasted every time I say this. If anybody disagrees, all you have to do is ask them what started the war...it wasn't a big slave freedom invasion, the north blockaded the south so that cotton couldn't head for England. War is always about money, not freedoms.

If Mississippi, Florida, Alabama are next...something is fishy.
