Sorry, but I'm calling this either satire or just a plain joke.
The supposed author is "Camembert." That's a French cheese.
OTOH, if this is real, then it's time to stock up on more ammo.

I don't understand...
Does this fellow mean that the more money I make, the less taxes I'll pay?
Oh Boy! I've gotta tell my bud Doc about this! He's constantly bitching about the close to 50% that he's having to puke up to pay for all those paintings and sculptures by government supported "artists." Maybe he's really due a big refund!

What good is more ammunition going to do you? You can't shoot at lib wackos indiscriminantly, even if it would be satisfying.
It would be fun, though, wouldn't it? Sorta like playing that old arcade game "Whack-A-Mole", except with DUers instead of moles (or is there a difference?) and guns instead of wimpy padded hammers.
(Sorry, I've been awake for 48 hours, and my imagination is getting uppity)
Best thing you can do is make sure lots of people read this stuff. The more exposure the lib whackos receive, the more power they'll lose. The more power they lose, the crazier they'll become. It's a wicked downward spiral that ends with the complete destruction of organized socialism in America.
Let's just make sure that conservatism isn't hijacked before then.

)Oh Goody I love how they speak of us poor idiots who own and run chicken houses. Well I have a ear full for them. My father owned Chicken Houses his whole life. He started out with 2. He raised four children. He provided everything we needed. He made dang sure we all went to college. He was pleased when my mother went to college. One daughter is now a physician. Another has her masters degree. He is now gone. He lived a good life. He was well loved. He hated welfare and lazy people. He died with 12 chicken houses,1000 acres of land and cattle and left a wonderful business to his family and a great place for his family to be free to hunt and fish and raise their children. And guess what He did all this without a dime of government help and when he died he was debt free. So shut your socialist yaps and leave use the heck alone. 
Plus might I add he was raised by a single mother after his father died when he was four in 1934. She made it throught the depression and did just fine without the government tit to suck off of.

Geez...I guess my uncle who retired from the FBI in the 50's, practiced law for a few years, then became a multimillionaire in the chicken business (started with his share of the family oil royalties) is just another Jethro.
Then there's another former chicken farmer I know, Carroll Shelby, but then he helped destroy the environment by building cars.

As a former radical liberal who has, over the years, seen the error of my ways and converted to a moderate conservative, I can only say that that is one of the funniest things I have ever read.
Many of my friends are still liberals.
They simply can't understand why people, all people, don't know why they won't accept that the Democrat/liberals know what is best for them, and they should be grateful for it.
Intellectual hubris of such depth is truly a wonderful thing to see.

"That diatribe can't be serious. It has to be satire."
If it's satire, the author is a high IQ. If not, the author is low IQ. A thin line between idiocy and genius.

Personally, I think the Blue regions should secede. And then the US should do the same the US did the last time that was tried. Follow it up with Reconstruction of the same order and policies toward the secessionist regions for the next 90 years.
After that period, we can see what economic output of the area is.

Well, much of the criticism of the Republican Party in that letter is spot on, but what they don't get is that both parties are about as bad. The Dems don't want to share the wealth. They want to share the poverty, and spread it around evenly, while leaving the super wealthy the way they are. Essentially, both parties want to eliminate the middle class. The Dems want to do it by taxing them to near poverty, and the Republicans want to do it by sending all of the middle class supporting industries to third world countries. Both parties are your enemies.
PS, That letter sounds like Communist propaganda to me.

Certainly there is a lot of hubris to assume that one knows best what is best for others. But, isn't that the sin of virtually all leaders?
I think the far more dangerous hubris is to assume people have no right to vote against their own interests.
Take away the profanity, hubris, contempt, and pettiness, and you get a couple of nice paragraphs describing the Bushahidin pretty accurately, IMO.
Also, let's face it, it is true that many blue states pay more to the union than get back from it, while the opposite is true for many red states. What's true is true.
Considering city folk to have weaker values is just as disparaging as considering country folk to have weaker minds. And frankly, homophobes, klansmen, fundamentalists, statists, and Enronists attacking liberals on "values" is straight out of Dr Goebbels's book or Kafka's novel.

It is only true to a point that the more money you make the more taxes you pay as a percentage of your income. Once you reach the level of the top one percent, or thereabouts, there are ways of avoiding income taxes not available to the middle class. The super wealthy often brag about how little in income taxes they paid last year. I know someone like that, personally. This guy's family, when he was a kid, had a full time limo driver, butler, etc. Now he's in his 80s, but back in the 1970s I remember his son telling me what a good time he had talking about years when he worked it out so he paid nothing in income tax. This guy "retired" from a cushy sinecure when he was 40 years old. Hardly paid anything in income tax since then. Belongs to an exclusive country club, and has really enjoyed himself. I wouldn't mind that, except that the middle class pays half their income away in taxes and this guy used to brag about paying practically nothing in income tax. That's why we need a flat tax, or even better to switch to a national sales tax. There is no way to get around paying your proper share of taxes that way.
Personally, I believe that if the Federal Government did only what it was Constitutionally authorized to do, we wouldn't need anyone to pay any income tax, flat or otherwise. The government could support itself with a modest tax on imports only. But, short of that ever happening, I would like to see an elimination of income tax to be replaced with a national sales tax. The reason this never gets off the ground is because people like the guy I described above donate big time to Republican reelection campaigns, and they like the present tax system just fine.

A worthless statistic. Some of these red states, such as Montana, have a lotta highway to pay for because of the size of the states, with a small population. In Montana’s case, they also have big National Parks to maintain.
What is the breakdown by red and blue county ?
And the real issue isn’t red and blue states, it’s red and blue cultures.
My guess is that some of these hotbeds of blue tax-payers are cities that grew on the backs, vision, and initiative of red-value types a hundred years ago. Then after the city grew large and prospered, it attracted blue-value ne’er-do-wells who flocked in for handouts, and then the city’s population was predominantly blue. Now you have blue states crowing about how they’re feeding the red states, whereas in reality it is still the red culture feeding everybody. Just my guess.

I'd like to see Madison and Milwaukee do this here in WI... hard to eat when the farmers hate you.
As to what you were saying about tearning down bush signs and the like in Madison, very true. Around campus you can run into any number of liberal signs, posters, sidewalk chalk etc. But once you even attempt to do any of these things on a more conservative side... people vandalize it immediately. My friends and I did an expiriment on this one night freshman year, we chalked some pro bush, pro going into Iraq messages; nothing really inflamitory or vulgar or anything, just a flipflop of the usual reteric we see on the sidewalk. By morning all of those messages had been edited into much more vulgar and inflamitory messages, which were erased by noon.
End result, Madison is about free speech and expression... as long as you are liberal.

Ahh, reminds me of Columbia U:
It IS hate speech when you're a Minuteman and say we need to enforce immigration laws.
It is NOT hate speech when students slur a black Minuteman with the N-word!

Can you imagine the tantrums they will throw if the Democrats don't win control of the House or Senate on Nov. 7??
I pray that by some miracle, the Republicans will retain control of both chambers of Congress. Besides the obvious benefit to we gun owners, the ensuing leftist/Democrat/socialist meltdowns we would see on TV would truly be a spectacle to behold!

Yeah, desperation has a unique stench all it's own..."hey, let's break out the old canards about how they all hate us real 'Murricans...maybe that'll work!"
It's silly, isn't it?

The donkeys will succumb to the strategery of Karl Rove and then we'll hear the leftwing commies whining and crying about how the black midget lesbian transvestite Jew convicted copkiller vote was suppressed and the evil right wing conspiracy and all manner of other BS reasons for why they lost.
They'll never consider that maybe the reason they lost is because they alienated half the frickin country before the voting even began. Run a 1000m race and give the other guy a 950m head start and *** do you expect to happen?
