As a southerner, I am surrounded by "conservative" people who are collecting several checks from the government, who paid nowhere near what they are taking back out, who endlessly bitch about Obama and Democrats, who rag on some poor girl who works at WalMart 39 hours a week using a WIC card as an example of communism. I don't believe there is a system of government or economics that will tolerate that level of self-delusion for long. Our fundamental problem is that the postwar period was so provident for us that we have lost all touch with reality.
