If It Works In California, It Can Work For The Rest Of America

You know, the older I become, I see more and more things that I never thought would come to  pass.

I never thought I would see General Motors about to go belly-up.

I never thought I would see modern-day American citizens holding Tea Parties.

I never thought I would see Congress pass a bill to draft young Americans into a Civilian Defense Force.

And I never thought I’d see that bastion of left-wing liberalism, California, finally wake up and smell the coffee.
And that I would hope that the rest of America would follow California’s lead.

Democrats REALLY Don’t Care For Citizen Involvement

By it’s basic definition, a public hearing is a forum where average citizens attend a session where lawmakers are about to decide on policies, upcoming legislation, etc.

 

The idea being that elected representatives can receive input from the general public.

 

At least that is the way it is supposed to work.

 

Unless, of course, the person running the session is a Democrat who does not care for the fact that the public is voicing their opposition a tax-increase proposal.

 

When something of this nature recently occurred in Iowa, Iowa House Speaker Pat Murphy ordered the citizens removed from the House chambers by the Iowa State Police!

 

So much for public input.

Senate Reverses Course On U.N. Global Taxes

This is why I get so frustrated with the media’s only focus being AIG and the stock market.
I know that the drive-by media doesn’t care about the future of America, but you would think that there would be some of them who care enough about their jobs to actually do them!

So here’s the latest.
While all we have heard about is the bonus scandal at AIG, the Senate voted down a long-standing amendment that would have prevented U.S. tax funds beign used to fund schemes of the United Nations.

With our economy in the shape it’s in, should we really be giving even more money away?
