Random Thoughts

I've been thinking about the oil "spill", and I'm really frustrated. You have BP, which was one of the largest contributors to the Obama campaign, who is proving themselves to be brutally inept. Then you have Obama, who was supposed to be a leader, who is even more inept. Unless of course he's intentionally allowing the spill to continue going. With the revelations of the Dutch company which offered to help clean the spill days after the accident being denied, Louisiana's attempts to build barrier islands to protect the wetlands being denied and a total breakdown in leadership, I wonder if Obama is actually inept or if there is more. Perhaps he wants this to be a disaster so that he can call for the nationalization of the energy sector in the United States. He would understand that you need a disaster to do something like that in America. Americans won't stand for a government takeover of an industry unless there is a perception that the industry is corrupt. This is interesting because most Americans believe government is corrupt, yet we'll allow the corrupt government to take over a sector of the economy that is perceived to be corrupt.

Keyes on Immigration

I like his statement concerning Mexico's stance on people entering Mexico illegally: "They are really very perimitery when it comes to this question."

Puerto Rico, el Estado Cincuenta y Uno?

So I haven't been listening to the radio for a long time, and I just caught a piece of Glenn Beck talking today about a push by the "regime" as I heard Rush calling the Obama administration today to make Puerto Rico the 51st state. The way it would be done is by imposing a vote that would take the current status of the island (territory) off of the table. This would lead to independence or statehood. Consistently, the people of Puerto Rico have voted against both options. But, if the current status is off of the table, it will essentially push Puerto Rico into becoming a state, and very likely adding two Democrat Senators and 4-5 Democrat Representatives. If that happens, I think Texas seriously should consider splitting into 5 states, which it can do, adding 7-8 more Republican Senators.

Just for Stan

Here is an open post just so that Stanley Rosenthal can post his liberal tirades on my blog without being moderated for the next two weeks. Yer Welcome!

Call your Congressperson and Senators ASAP!

I heard about this on my way home from work on the Mark Levin Show. This treaty MUST be stopped. Please post this on your Facebook, YouTube and wherever you can to get as many people as possible bombarding our Representatives. We must not let our sovereignty be handed over to the international community or we will one day, as Ronald Reagan said: "...spend our sunset years telling our children, and our children’s children, what it once was like in America, when men were free.”
