102. It's Not Terrorism

Describing an economic boycott as akin to terrorism would be like your kid calling you a culinary terrorist because you served quinoa instead of French fries. Nothing terroristic about it. it’s not even a punishment for bad behavior. Instead it’s a withholding of a reward (which might in the alternative be directed toward generally, broadly good behavior like that exhibited by tolerant liberal places). By all means boycott the hell out of depraved hateful states, or at least use your discretionary funds to reward decent states. And in your concern for the welfare of the less fortunate in the evil states remember that they are already sucking the blood of the blue states through government transfers, of which they drain off more than they contribute. And also remember that due to senate and electoral college representation they have more than their fair share of political clout, and notice that nobody in the red states complains about political terrorism when they run roughshod over the desires of the majority of American citizens. Give me a break.
