Smafty Mac: Fighting the kakistocracy!!!

Sweet home Alabama?

There's a moral vacuum in Alabama recently, here are a few stories about that piece of shit state!:

The backwards ass state of Alabama is going to remove this little girls Medicaid, why?

who knows?

The story of Lauren Rainey, a 13 year old disabled girl from Mobile, Alabama has gone worldwide and it is still gaining momentum. She is tied to an oxygen machine 24 hours a day. With an artificial breathing tube, an enlarged heart, asthma, bone abnormalities and scoliosis, Alabama Medicaid is threatening to drastically reduce her nursing care.

For the last nine years, Alabama Medicaid has provided 13 year old Lauren Rainey with at least 10 hours a day of nursing care. Her mother, Laura Gordon said, "It started off with 24 hours and then they cut it down several times down to ten. We've had ten (hours) for a few years."

Now Medicaid is planning to reduce it further. With few answers from the State, Lauren's mother turned to NBC15 after receiving a letter from Medicaid stating the girl's care would be terminated. We spoke with Governor Bob Riley about Lauren's situation a few days after the initial story aired. "That particular person probably does not qualify for the program she's under now, but there is a myriad of other programs." he said, adding, "And I think if we had all taken the opportunity to sit down and explore all the other options we wouldn't even be having this conversation." When asked by reporter Bruce Mildwurf, "Do you know what those other programs are?" The Governor responded, "No, but I can find out and let you know."

The Governor said that in the second week of November - he has not yet followed up.

Don't give me this shit about the south being the "real America"

Apparently Alabama voters voted against a bill that would have removed segregation from it's constitution, why?

Because it might raise their taxes!

No wonder the team calls itself the “crimson” tide. Alabama surely must be the reddest state of all.




I refer to the political and cultural identity of a state as defined by its vote in the presidential race. Red means pro-Bush. More to the point, and to mince no words, red means claiming superior moral values and having that provincial declaration rendered hollow by behavior.




You’re not going to believe what else ’Bama did Nov. 2 while giving 63 percent of its vote and probably eight of 10 white votes to George W. Bush.




Perhaps you’re wondering why I invoke race. It’s because of what you’re not going to believe.




Jim Crow won an election in Alabama on Nov. 2, the recent one, a 21st century one.




Subject to an automatic recount Nov. 29 because of the closeness, Alabamians voted not to repeal sections of a state constitutional amendment approved by voters in 1956 to mandate racially segregated schools.




Like other Southern red states including Arkansas, Alabama chose in the overtly racist 1950s to pass a constitutional amendment presuming to interpose state constitutional law decreeing segregation. The foolhardy notion was to fend off federal court rulings requiring racial integration of schools. It was foolhardy because states can’t defy the federal government, considering that the Union won.




Arkansas repealed its pointless but symbolically destructive amendment — narrowly — in 1990. This year, the Alabama Legislature referred Amendment 2 to the voters to take out of the state’s constitution the three most egregious vestiges of racism in its segregation amendment. They were that schools must be segregated, that a poll tax had to be paid and that a right to an education at taxpayer expense did not exist for an Alabama child. (And you thought the purpose of a constitution was to grant, not void, rights.)




The idea of the latter was to make sure no lawyer, judge, outside agitator or godless liberal could ever say under constitutional imprimatur that Alabama bore any responsibility to its black children’s schooling.




Alabamians voted Nov. 2 on whether to repeal. With nearly 1.4 million votes cast, it appears that Amendment 2 failed by about 2,500 votes. The typical Alabama voter marked a ballot for Bush and segregation.

Both stories have something to do with raising Taxes and "BIG" Government!

How can anyone claim to be pro-life and sentence a little girl to death because those selfish fucks don't want to pay higher taxes? The UN should sanction Alabama, we in California should withdraw our money from supporting them!

These guys really piss me off!
