Daily Show Al Madrigal makes fool of Ashley Landess, Medicaid Expansion refusal

ashley landess against medicaid expansionAshley Landess spells it out well. No matter what the issue, or how helpful it may be to millions of Americans, even in her own state, we must above all hate and despise the United States Government. Hate it so profoundly that we will do everything in our power to destroy it in favor of states rights today, states rights tomorrow and states rights forever. They call that “ideology politics” rather than what it should be called,  unAmerican traitorous sedition.

What is the why of that? What is it about the Federal Government that so many Republican held states hate so much they are ready to fire on Ft Sumter?  You can get a whiff of it by just looking at this map to see the where of it.

Medicare Expansion refusal map

Though this map only concerns those states who refuse free Medicaid Expansion – with the exceptions of Maine, North Dakota, Arkansas and Wisconsin – it can be overlaid onto most any political issue or division. And what do all those state have in common? Being held by Republican governors and legislatures goes without saying, but the key is they are either from the Old Confederacy or bordering it, or they are states where no one lives, well other than a few stupid white people with guns. Oh and JESUS!!  Lots and lots of JESUS!
