The Oklahoma legislature has voted to declare sovereignty under the 10^th Amendment to the Constitution.   This comes just weeks after Texas governor Rick Perry made the same declaration of his state’s right to secede.  Given our nation is no more as the result of northeast and west coast liberals, it is time that we wholeheartedly support the efforts of those who strive for economic freedom and individual liberty.  All I can say is that I am glad that Texas and Oklahoma have a lot of open space because they should expect a huge influx of people if they can pull this off.  I've got a call into Allied Van Lines today!

While common sense seems to prevail in the south central portion of America, the idiots in the nation of New England are at it again with Maine and New Hampshire getting ready to permit gay marriage. Mind you, this was done with legislative fiat without the vote of the people. My guess is if the people had their say so, which they won’t, they would do precisely what Californians did last year and defeat the nonsensical notion that marriage is anything other than the way God intended; between man and woman. 

The number of unemployed is up yet again. Guess this stimulus package is really working wonders on the economy.   Hey, at least the welfare rolls continue to grow which should ensure Democrats another good round of elections.   Did you ever wonder what our Congress would look like if only tax paying Americans were permitted to vote? 

Have you heard that 6 of the 9 new board members on Chrysler will either be government or union appointees? Considering liberals and unions have destroyed our schools, forced manufacturing overseas and undermined free enterprise I give the company six months to die a slow and miserable death under the guidance of the truly incompetent.  Ditto for GM which is really nothing more than a health care administrator that just so happens to make some cars on the side.  

Rather than throwing good money after bad what if the government were to give money only to those who paid taxes.   No more money to GM, AIG or ACORN. No more money to illegal aliens or terrorists. With 140 million tax payers, the government could give every one of them 100,000 dollars which equals about 14 trillion in total expenditure. Given the trillions already spent, this is actually doable.   Let Americans decide what to do with the money with the stipulation that at least 50% must go to paying down debt and 25% going to purchasing of products made in America. There’s no doubt in my mind this would result in the greatest period of economic growth since the days of Ronald Reagan.  

Of course this won’t happen because we all know that of the 140 million Americans that pay taxes most are conservative and government handouts are all about buying Democrat votes which come from the uneducated and uninformed.   So rather than get our nation on track, the liberals in Washington would rather have us wallow in economic misery just as long as they have their jobs…oh yes and their AIG backed pensions. 

Isn’t it amazing how common sense can fix everything? I think someone once wrote a book about it. Maybe it’s time for a 2009 version because it is greatly lacking inside the beltway.

According to a new Pew Research poll 88% of Democrats approve of the job Obama is doing while pretending to be president.   Only 27% of Republicans feel the same way.   The idiocy among Democrats should come as no surprise, because well…they are Democrats. Besides, being an idiot is a key indicator of being afflicted by liberalism.   

The significance of this margin is that it is the most polarized in the history of presidential polling coming in a day and age of a president who called for bipartisanship.   The hard and fast truth is that there was never any intention for bipartisanship other than shutting the other side up with Constitutional abuses such as the Fairness Doctrine and an all out assault on our right to defend ourselves from the very government that is usurping our rights on a daily basis. 

Obama’s bipartisan rhetoric is on par with Hugo Chavez airing Radio Free Venezuela.   The fact is that Obama has achieved failure faster than any president in history.   His administration is riddled with tax cheats who see the only salvation to our problems as government when the reality is that government is the cause of every problem facing us today.  

Without government interference in the housing market, our homes would be worth double their current value.   Without government interference and special interest union thuggery we would have no trade deficit and would still be a manufacturing behemoth.   Without government condoned child abuse our schools would actually be able to produce productive citizens.   Without government sanctioned racism, such as affirmative action,  there would be no racism in our nation. 

Is there anything the government does right? Sometimes we drop a bomb on a terrorist, but besides that they ride the short bus in everything they do.   If you don’t believe me, pay a visit to a housing project or VA Hospital.   Perhaps now is the time for government to back off but that is not part of the Obama template where greed and corruption are the norm. 

Making matters worse are those running Congress.   Nancy Pelosi is undoubtedly the most incompetent Speaker of the House in history.   Harry Reid clearly has this same distinction in the Senate. Yet Democrats don’t get it. They actually think that this caste of incompetent boobs is helping our nation.   Maybe when unemployment hits 10%, which it will, Democrats will start to wake up. 

According to Reuters the Obama administration has dropped the term “war on terror” from its lexicon. Secretary of State, Mrs. Bill Clinton said, "The (Obama) administration has stopped using the phrase and I think that speaks for itself. Obviously." Yes, obviously this caste of incompetent buffoons has not a clue that the greatest threat to freedom (aside from Obama) are Islamic fascists. This comes on the heels of Obama closing down Club Gitmo and seeking to bring our sworn enemy to the United States where they will undoubtedly be freed into a city near you. 

To put this in perspective, these actions would be like FDR saying that Hitler wasn’t such a bad fellow and freeing all the Nazis from post WWII tribunals. Perhaps the current administration doesn’t care about the slaughter of innocent Americans but I think there are more than a few of us true Americans out there that recognize the dangers posed by Islamic fascism which is precisely why we must win the war on terror at any cost.

This action comes on the heels of Obama demanding that Rick Wagonner, CEO of General Motors resign. Excuse me but what right does a sitting president have to abuse his power to this extent? This is kind of like Hugo Chavez marching his thugs into private industry in Venezuela and demanding a change in management. In fact it’s more than kind of like, it is exactly like. This action in and of itself shows that Obama is a Marxist, which I have been predicting were his true colors since day one of his campaign to overthrow freedom. 

What’s next? Obama doesn’t like what Fox News has to say so he fires all the talking heads and puts perky little Katie on the air for 24/7?   Maybe he doesn’t like the person running your business so he’ll fire you as well.   Anyone not seeing the dangerous precedent being set by these Un-American actions surely has an incurable case of liberal derangement syndrome.  

The only constant in the Obama administration is proving to be failure; be it on the economic front, on the policy front or on the paying your taxes on time front.   These people have to go at any cost. They actually make the war on terror look like a walk in the park. Let’s clarify, that would be the war on Islamic terror.   As Americans we are now fighting a war on economic terror that is being waged against us by our very own administration who seeks to undermine our nation at any cost.
