(239 posts)farmers are some of Republicans staunchest supporters. I live in a very rural area - and they are all about the bible, guns, and freedumb. I appreciate what farmers do, but I truly don't understand why they get "insurance" in case their crops don't pan out. Wtf? Talk about unfair - I don't get insurance to cover my ass if my job doesn't pan out. And, farmers become farmers KNOWING the risks. I have a lot of acquaintances here that are farmers - they hate "niggers", they have anti-obama signs in their yards, they talk all day long about how Obama is trying to take their guns and make them biracial and homosexual (and of course, how against the bible that is), they call Obama "boy" - and they gobble up this damn WELFARE faster than their imagined cadillac driving welfare queens could ever do. It's absolutely infuriating! I say, since all the farmers I know (and have always known) are so "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps boy!" - let them suffer the consequences of things outside of their control - lose everything they have if that's how the cookie crumbles - handouts are handouts, and THEY are the welfare queens.
