What Else Are We Going To Sell Out For?
Now that the Mainstream legislators are falling all over themselves to grab the 5 million for the implementation of a primary seat belt law, what’s next from the great spender Obama and the Mainstreamers? Ten Million for a gun ban, 20 million for implementing unlimited abortions, 15 million to shut down unhealthy fast food joints, 30 million to ban unsafe and animal abusing rodeos, 10 million to protect sea kittens, 20 million to shutdown Limbaugh and Hannity, and the list goes on? The states are so desperate for money, all sorts of federal blackmail schemes become possible.
When the recession started I thought - here is a chance to rein in government, and get a firm grip on spending. BUT NO, It is greed above all else, this and the lack of courage and integrity means selling out to big government, big business, and special interests. Are we to allow these groups to guide us to further spend what we do not have? Sell our souls for 5 miles of highway. That 5 million dollars in seat belt money this state is groveling for is worth about $6.00 per every person in our state. What a pittance your freedom is worth.

Blackmail for our own goods, services and freedom?
Of course.
What would you expect when government now employs more than 50% of the population?

Now we will be flooded with bananas-on-a-stick, like this, in the Porkulus bill.
