"Red States Feed at Federal Trough, Blue States Supply the Feed"

This headline is the latest in a line of condescension paraded by a disheartened Democrat party. If you wish to subject yourself to the screed, here it is:

Aside from the obvious arguments about high taxes and how they're levied, I have to wonder:

Since when are liberals suddenly against welfare?

Rush touched on this today, so I'm in great company. But recall how liberals have always been the party of confiscating money away from the producers and transferring the money to the non-producers...all in the name of "compassion", naturally. Well, the purveyors of anti-individual and pro-group thinking are now all of a sudden taking the opposite mindset.

Yes, now they finally see the light! It is now all of a sudden immoral to take money away from the producers (in this case, the blue states) and give it to the non-producers (in this case, the red states)! It was cool when middle-class citizens had the fruits of their labor confiscated to support crack whores in Philly who refused to work. But when rural states that happen to have moral values and love for family and tradition and country do not pay as much in taxes (because incomes are lower) as blue states (which never met taxes they didn't like), why that's just an abomination! But wait a minute...aren't liberals and Democrats supposed to be the champion of the lower-income families? I guess they are, as long as said families stay on the blue plantations!

There, ladies and gentlemen, is further proof that these idiots are coming unglued...they're now railing against the things they've always championed! Does that mean we've always been right, hmmmmmmmm?
