It is Feb 18th today, right now as I write this. At ACVDN we love a local Amherst County story and Ned Kable's birthday has given us one. Ned is the Chairman of the Amherst County Democratic Party, dedicated and hard working and giving of his time to help others. We could probably get away with celebrating Ned any day but his birthday is perfect.
As you read thru the messages he got from friends you will learn Ned lived in Massachusetts before relocating to beautiful Amherst County. In Massachusetts the skies opened and dumped about 10 feet of snow on the parade so far this year. Watch Ned closely, when he decides to pack up and get out of town it might be prudent to follow, or at least get ready for the coming snow·poc·a·lypse ( I'd like to trademark that word).
It appears Ned owns an old goat, senior goat, but that's enough from me.
Read Ned's birthday greetings and drop us a line at ACVDN if you would like to add a thought. At the bottom of the post you can email us. Once again Happy Birthday Ned. You know what this means? Ned was practically born on Valentines Day.

ACVDN Shouting at Ya, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr. Chairman
Call Yourselves Regressives or Backward, That is What You Are.
YOU ARE NOT CONSERVATIVES
America's 10 Poorest States:
1.- Mississippi. Voting for: Romney
2.- Arkansas. Voting for: Romney
3.- Tennessee. Voting for: Romney
4.- West_Virginia. Voting for: Romney
5.- Louisiana. Voting for: Romney
6.- Montana. Voting for: Romney
7.- South_Carolina. Voting for: Romney
8.- Kentucky. Voting for: Romney
9.- Alabama. Voting for: Romney
10.- North_Carolina. Voting for Romney
Not a surprise. And Red States receive the most Federal Aid.
States receiving the most federal funding per tax dollar paid
1. New Mexico: $2.63
2. West Virginia: $2.57
3. Mississippi: $2.47
4. District of Colombia: $2.41
5. Hawaii: $2.38
6. Alabama: $2.03
7. Alaska: $1.93
8. Montana: $1.92
9. South Carolina: $1.92.....
Conservatives hate the Federal Government with one hand while holding out the other when it comes to social programs!
The education system in Alabama is dismal. The people are intolerant and poor. Most of the people who are on welfare are Republican, not Democrat, just because more people in the state are Republican. The state always votes 60 percent Republican in every single election. This trait is shared with Amherst County.
Alabama is No. 6 in the nation, receives $2.03 in federal funding for every $1 of taxes paid. What is conservative about that? Alabama is a welfare state. Alabama ranks 47th out of 50 for the worst scores in Math and Science.
Don't lump everyone in Alabama together, there are a lot of Democrats there who are fighting for change just like here in conservative (regressive) backwoods Amherst County. Good luck to my fellow democrats who live in Alabama. My heart goes out to the progressive people who live in Alabama. They must put up with some incredibly moronic folks in the course of a day.
So the most conservative states are also the poorest and most uneducated? What does that mean?
At some point, we in the media will stop using the word "conservative" when the word that should be used is "regressive".
The so-called "conservatives" might not like it but it fits their mode of operation. Then the public may be able to understand what those so-called "conservatives" are really all about. Until that happens, we are merely allowing those "pretend" conservatives to hide in plain sight.
What does the word "balanced" mean to you? Does it mean that along with the truth, we have to tell people the right wing lies? ACVDN refuses to buy into that trip.
Alabama also the poorest, least educated, one of the top divorce states, one of the top child out of wedlock states, one of the top
welfare states? Such things go hand in hand with conservatism and republican voting red states. Are you beginning to see why these people should be called regressives?
Republicans in Congress would like to take us to the same place as Alabama, uneducated, pregnant , unemployed & uninsured, so keep voting for conservative republicans it won't take long to make that quick journey to the bottom. Bob Goodlatte is sure he can make it happen, he works to regress society every single day.
Change the word conservative to backward or regressive every time it appears and you will be on the road understanding what makes the republican mind tick.
Both MS and AL are net TAKERS, and receive more in Federal tax transfers than they pay. AL gets approx. $24 Billion, and MS $22 Billion annually. So much for Conservative "self reliance." And "freedom from the Nanny State!" Regressives are free riders living off the blue states who pay far more than they recieve from the federal government.
Calling a state a conservative state , that's a very polite way of saying states with the least aware people in the entire country.
If anyone tells you the Blue States aren't charitiable remind them we are propping up the conservative Red States with our taxes.
A true conservative would support conservation of natural resources and they don't. They don't support science as it gets in the way of their ignorance about life, health, nature and relationships. They don't change as they continue to fly their Confederate war flags and wish to form their own country that excludes people who are in any way different from them.
And the more conservative the worse the economy, education, divorce rates, domestic abuse, crime, and the more thay take from the rest of the states to pay for all the welfare their conservative citizens live off of.
The most conservative state is the state of denial.
The second most conservative state is the state of confusion.
(Regressives / Conservatives) are always screaming spending cuts, so why not cut federal spending in each state to equal the amount of federal tax they collect from that state? Simple solution. That would save Billions.

It’s not just that some states are getting way more in return for their federal tax dollars, but the disproportionate amount of federal aid that some states receive allows them to keep their own taxes artificially low. When you hear conservatives bragging about low tax rates in states they run NOW You Will Know Why. The blue state taxpayers are propping them up.
Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, New Mexico, Maine—have exceptionally high poverty rates and thus receive disproportionately large shares of
federal dollars.
Through a variety of social programs, the federal government disburses hundreds of billions of dollars each year to maintain a “safety net” intended to help the neediest among us. Consider, for example, the percentage of each state’s residents who get “food stamps” through the federal government’s SNAP program. These poor states are red, they vote republican and proudly proclaim that they are conservatives. What they really are is regressives, backward states.
Dominated by Republican voters who profess their distaste for the federal government and its social programs, these are the very states that rank highest on the dependency scale, they are republican states.
Who really benefits from government spending? If you listen to Rush Limbaugh, you might think it was those blue states, packed with damn hippie socialist liberals, sipping their lattes and providing free abortions for bored, horny teenagers. Check closer and you learn the truth.
Truth is something you will never get from an oxy-moron dope head like Rush.
As it turns out, it is red states that are overwhelmingly the Welfare Queen States. Yes, that's right. Red States — the ones governed by folks who think government is too big and spending needs to be cut — are a net drain on the economy, taking in more federal spending than they pay out in federal taxes. They talk a good game, but stick Blue States with the bill. There are few things more fun than exposing republican hypocrisy.
Which states are moochers or freeloaders and which are getting fleeced. Now You Know. The GOP has been lying to you for a long time, wake up.
Conservative in the south means you are a confederate secessionist still longing for the good old days when blacks and women knew their place, Mexicans and Native Americans were hunted or shipped out to reservations, gays stayed in the closet and Asians built railroads and white men voted. These are the good times the so called conservatives want to return to when they scream, "I want my Country back".
Thanks for reading. See you when we debunk the next issue.
