Thinkin' Outloud

I find it particularly interesting that in the midst of our recession, that will probably manifest into a depression like few could imagine, that our Saudi and other oil “friends” are tightening the screws of the vice that our heads are in. It is obviously an intentional attack upon our society.

Surely with our economy drastically slowed, most Americans are using less fuel. With current prices all of us have cut back and our airlines will pretty much collapse. What is interesting is that this “crisis” didn’t rear its ugly head until our economy was on the path of devistation. How could this not be orchestrated?

Granted, China is fueling demand for oil. But as our demand has decreased due to the economy, that demand is pretty much offset. I cannot see one justification for the current squeeze play that is being put upon us except that it weakens our ability to fight the terrorism that stems from the bowels of the Saudi and Mid-east anti- American society.

The good in the mix is that Americans are fluid and innovative. We can evolve from oil dependency more quickly than any nation in the world. But we need and deserve time. We may suffer, and we may demand fairness at any cost from our oil producing “friends” including the threat of leveling the decadent Dubai in the worst case. The Arabs and the rest of the oil extortionists need to heed to America’s need to economically stabilize or realize that they are committing a virtual act of war against us

If this same scenario happened 5 years ago when our economy was booming, I could have possibly stomached it, but not now.

In closing, let the oil rich, self proclaimed good guy Arabs step up to help with the world’s disasters instead of the proven good ol’ US of A as they are in the position to do so and we no longer are. If they don’t step up to bat, we can exploit their selfishness by simply exposing the truth to the world in the media (but remember that our government has let these Arab folks buy one third of this media). If they step up and show compassion to non-Muslim nations and assume the United State’s roll of rescuing nations after typhoons, tidal waves, and earthquakes we will have some good thoughts. If they don’t, and continue to build another indoor snow skiing resort or building skyscraper luxury buildings 3 times the height of the empire state building, as they are now, and let our economy collapse, we will see a real selfish side of our “friends” who’s countrymen bombed our world trade center.

Simply put, I am tired of this crap. I love America and I want us all to see the world as it really is.

It is the responsibility of each person, and especially the judges and politicians in each state, to assure that each state’s own wishes take precedents over any federal laws. For instance, if our state votes in a 75 mile per hour speed limit, no benefits to illegal aliens, legalized marijuana, or a ban on gay marriage, the wishes of our state’s people should be enforced without federal interference as the constitution grants the states such rights.

Our forefathers experienced tyranny and the quest for power and control by the federal government and realized that the one last defense against such abuses was to leave final power in the hands of the state except in extreme cases such as national defense. Our only check on the federal power mongers is to demand and accept no less than the respect for our state’s autonomy and right to self rule.

By this I mean that if any conflict exists between our state laws, especially if voted in by our state’s men and women, our courts and our elected officials should be required to stand for our rights as so sworn to do or be impeached, jailed or both. For instance, I read that the Feds arrested medical marijuana patients and swept them to a federal prison for years even though they were given the right to use it by our voters. Our elected officials should immediately demand the release of these folks or all federal taxes collected in the state should be withheld from the feds until they comply. Jailing anyone for legal activity by the feds is the most blatant and arrogant abuse of power that can be demonstrated and cannot be tolerated.

Every statesman and true American should take any action to put the feds back in their place that is permitted under the constitution including calling upon the formation of a citizen’s militia in the worst case. After all, we all know that our federal government and our political system is rife with corruption and power hungry self righteous crooked politicians on the take from one PAC or the next and they flaunt it in our faces as they believe we are helpless-----and we are unless we stand up as a state united.

Any oath of office in our state should require and stress the full understanding of our dominance over the federal bureaucracy and a promise to take any measures necessary to enforce that policy for the good of our state’s citizenry and for the good and survival of our democracy.

Obama and his wife hate America. Why not just put it in the open and say it like it is. If it quacks like a duck---you know!

Not only did he belong to that lunatic’s parish and let him marry him and baptize his children, apparently, he and his wife have admitted their dislike of America.

We all heard Obama’s wife clearly state that because her husband is running for president that “this is the first time that I am proud of America”. Surely she meant that from her vile America-hating heart. I for one would love to hear her and he elaborate on that statement as to all of the apparently many reasons she should have contempt for our beloved nation. I would assume much of her feelings are pretty much in line with her reverend friend’s.

I also wonder if she and her husband will go back to America hating if he doesn’t win. I could see them hating the Clintons for their ruthlessness in winning if Hillary does in fact get the nomination against the popular vote, but that is a problem with his own political party, not with our country.

All you blind Obama lovers should be asking yourselves why you don’t demand he and his wife explain her one statement in full before you commit to a man like this to lead our country. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t stand Hillary at all as she is a lying, power hungry, bottom of the barrel human being.

I would suggest you Dems seriously consider voting for McCain as he at least loves America and has some integrity left, which Hillary doesn’t. And there is a lot of truth in that joke going around right now---That I bet $1000 a democrat will win the white house this election, because Obama, Clinton, and McCain are all democrats and the only ones running.
