The South has supported virtually nobody but faith-based Republicans for as long as I can remember. How do you like your anti-environment attitudes now? Let me guess... America hasn't prayed enough for rain. If we all just turned to Jeebus, our problems would be solved.
Me! Me! Me! Me! It's all about Me! I have a Christright to a McMansion and the 2 acres of watered and manicured lawn that it sits on. God gave me a Chevy Suburban to drive myself 30 miles to and from work every day - it's a nice big vehicle and if I get in an accident with somebody who is driving an ordinary car, that person is either dead or disfigured, but that's okay because, obviously, that person was a lesser in the eyes of God. Puh-raise tha Lord!
There is no free lunch, people. Driving that SUV all over the place has consequences beyond the price-per-gallon at the gas station. Living 30 miles from your workplace has consequences.
Last I heard, the South and the Southwest have designs on the water of the Great Lakes. Fantastic! Let's destroy the Great Lakes and the economies of the upper midwest so assholes in Las Vegas and Atlanta can play golf.
Oh, wait, I forgot - Jeebus is coming back any day now, so nothing is really important anyway. Fuck the South. You deserve to lie in the beds that you made for yourselves, but you had no right to drag the rest of us down with you.
