Cursed are the Peacemakers (S.C. Confederate Flag Demo)

On a cold morning in January, one lone demonstrator, is cursed from all sides, in the often heated debate regarding the symbolism and history behind this old flag.

@pmcclaren1 What would you like to discuss regarding the Morrill Tariff? By the way, I'm a Southerner, not a "Yankee."

[pmcclaren1]

anyone know anything about the Morrill Tariff? We can deal with facts. 

[pmcclaren1]

hey, galoon, or is that goon? Your yankee arrogance is duly noted. Let us stay with 'just the facts, ma'am.' Can you please educate me on the Morrill Tariff? Let us deal with the facts or is that out of your league? good luck

Listen to the filth comming form the woman who is calling the guy with the flag bad. She tells me that I would want anything top do with her world either. The answer is seperation.

question: charitable giving?  what state is number one and what state is number fifty?

@pmcclaren1 And what currency would any "foreigners" be bringing into the casinos at Vicksburg and Tunica after you secede? Yep, you guessed it, U.S. dollars, which would be converted into a new Mississippi "dollar" that would trade below the money that comes with "Monopoly."

@pmcclaren1 (con't) The real fun starts when the Mississippi river floods in your state and/or you get a hurricane and you have to beg the Federal government or other states and countries for funds and help to deal with the damage. Mississippi can't get out of poverty as it is; imagine what would happen when your state has to foot the bill for everything from highway maintenance to healthcare with slot machines, which you'd then have to pay import duties on.

@pmcclaren1 By all means, take Mississippi out of the Union--if there's one thing this country needs, it's comic relief. An independent Republic of Mississippi would be hilarious. You have no major cities. Your state is last in every category except casino income, which secession would probably put a dent in. Your only other source of income besides cotton (and you have a lot of competition here) would be taxing residents whose annual per capita income is $19,500 (51st in the nation). (cont)
