It sure looks to me like a bunch of fig leaves, cherished as they may be. Rednecks get spoiled when subsidized. This could the anodyne that keeps them voting for mushy GOP when they might go for stark bible values candidates otherwise.
It’s all those flyover country bitter clingers on Valjar’s list. Make whitie bleed.
Now.... back to investigating Christie for closing a bridge
Not many of holder’s people in rural schools.
President Obama hates the white middle class, our children and our values.
He’s not even subtle.
Yet so few people realize that we have done a terrible job of messaging.
..making this sequester as painful and visible as possible..
sounds like Christies bridge debacle! - making things painful for the Mayor.
These are the slimes that want to tar and feather Christie?
If I remember correctly, Obama DID shut down traffic lanes out west to prevent people from being able to pull over and take pictures of Mount Rushmore...
I think there were more instances of things like this (open air parking lots closed) at places like George Washington's Mt. Vernon estate, etc.
And Romney just sat there and let Obama say those things unchallenged?

Example of Impact to Siskiyou County, CA, which has a population of only 45,000 with 1361.64 miles of county roads and 175 bridges to maintain over an area Of 6,300 square miles.
Current budget $10,000,000 a year, of which about $2.5 million comes from Secure Rural Schools when Congress authorizes it. (Keep in mind it takes about $1 million a mile to create a road.) About $6 million of this is salary and benefits, leaving about $4 million for equipment and materials. This is WITH SRS payments. Also keep in mind that without SRS payments, the bulk of money for roads comes from gas taxes and a formula for divvying that out across the state. Without SRS payments, it is estimated that half of the road Dept. personnel will need to be laid off.
Even with SRS, you are talking very inadequate funding to the point of threatening public health and safety.

With demonizing comments like yours, it is no wonder there is a growing divide between rural and urban, with animosity steadily growing.
“Demonizing” comments? Huh? What bizarro world have I stepped into? If truth demonizes, then you are embracing a demon, friend.
Yeah you’ve demonstrated very well that’s where the racket is! Should there be a racket at all? I think not. We can debate exit strategies but an exit will need to happen if we want to see more overall blessings.
The more crippling factor here, methinks, is the tunnel visioned mind set that comes when looking to Washington for every! single! blessed! thing!
Let the question come before your dazed mind. If Washington stopped this, how else could we raise money to bring blessings to the area?
It might take a while to puzzle through it with unused brain cells.
Well, with cities fully infested with baby-killing, disease-ridden child molesters, packofiles, whores and all the other types of democRATs...why would any self-respecting normal person even consider living there?
Basically, what happened to good ole rural redneck derring do. You’re letting Washington enervate it (to use a city slicker word).
I can not just say I would hope, but I can say God PROMISED it. Let go of the Washington teat — even simply get READY to let go of it — and God Himself will open vistas you never would have dreamed of. God is not telling you to plunge into a blind abyss if your faith is weak. ASK for a sign — as long as you are sincere, you’ll get it.
True, there are worse things than having enemies like that.
Still our stout rednecks shouldn’t be standing in self glorification. They should give glory squarely to God.
