More Proof Republicans Love Big Government

Part of an ongoing current conversation here at The Fold Blog.  Other entries can be found here, here, here, and here.

If I were a tough guy, macho Conservative Republican I would be really peeved knowing the states that get more tax money back than they pay in (welfare) are predominantly Red States.

Of course, if I were a tough guy, macho Conservative Republican I would never know that the party I vote for has done nothing they claim to stand for because I would be watching Fox News constantly, listening to Rush Limbaugh and Neal Boortz and the occasional Alex Jones video here and there and I would have no clue that Red States are the biggest moochers in the Union.  I would instead think only Democrats have created a system where people are reliant on government while True Super Patriots in Alabama and Mississippi hold the whole country together by constantly sticking it to the libs.

Now, how is such hypocrisy possible you might ask?  It's quite possible because the modern GOP is built around total fallacy.  It's a delusion where Reagan shrunk government, cut spending and reined in the deficit.  An alternative universe where Iraq had something to do with 9/11, George Bush never once told a lie, the economy was doing fine until January 2009, tax cuts never have to be offset or paid for, where Endless War is small government at its finest and where Bush deserves all credit for killing bin Laden (two years after he left office).  It's as if God is playing a horrible trick on humankind.
