Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

the last figure I saw for Alabama was $1.96 received in government funds for every $1.00 sent...and we are not the biggest drain. While allowing secession would reduce the drain, there is a huge federal investment in the southern states...military bases, etc. Doesn't sound like a good trade to me.
Allow me to enhance correctly ... Alabama, (and all the other southern states) ... and as the heart of Dixie ... is still waging the Civil War, and behaves as if it should be theeee Big (FED) Govt ... so in this regard Alabama isn't a suckling off a govt that it thinks is righteously theirs.

Rand Paul is right but he forgot to mention the Libertarian party which he is NOT in, sucks just as bad
