Nice State ya' got there

The State that gave us the start of the Civil War, Mark Thurmond, and euphemisms for international infidelity still keeps producing leaders of the highest caliber in low morality:

Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer has compared giving people government assistance to "feeding stray animals."...

"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better," Bauer said.

In South Carolina, 58 percent of students participate in the free and reduced-price lunch program.
