President Nixon was a weasel, there isn't a lot of disagreement on that. He was paranoid, he lacked charisma, he endorsed a break in because he had to know what his opponent was planning. He lied about the break in. No one died. However, Mr. Nixon lied about the cover up, and in the end, he did the right thing and resigned his presidency in order to advance the common good. He was pardoned by President Ford, thereby guaranteeing the election of the second worse president in the history of the United States of America.
In retrospect, the pardon was the right thing. It allowed the nation to start putting the hot mess behind us. The msm was ever vigilant. In fact, it was the msm that brought the entire sordid business to light. They didn't stop digging, even without a 24 hour news cycle, they kept the nation- even the world- focused on what amounted to a petty break in. A presidency was brought down and the media rejoiced at its new found power. They were a force to be reckoned with. Earlier, they had flexed their muscle with the war in Vietnam-making it a nightly feature on the evening news, and souring the fight in the American people. The war was lost and the msm was one of the factors.
Nixon was generally vilified by all and sundry, mocked, ridiculed, and cast a side. He became a punch line.
Fast forward to 2008 and a wholly unqualified individual who ran for president. He was unvetted by the now adoring media. He was adulated, adored, and held to no known standard. His origin of birth was made an issue by team Hillary, who until the sudden rise of Obama was the presumptive nominee. Yes, you read that right. Hillary Clinton, the person whose sole qualification for president, or for that matter, Secretary of State- was in looking the other way while her husband inserted a cigar into the vagina of an unpaid intern-was the person responsible for questions being raised regarding Barack Soetoro/Obama's place of birth. She is the original birther. The media yawned.
After all, Richard Milhouse Nixon was responsible for four men breaking into a hotel room at the Watergate Hotel and looking for information about the plans of the DNC. The horror.
This same yawning media has zero interest in what happened in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. Yes, the anniversary of the worst attack on United States Soil in over fifty years, was not the reason for the attack. Mrs. Clinton has no idea what the reason for the attack was, and as she so eloquently screeched at a congressional hearing, " At this point, what difference does it make?"
The msm yawned. Four people were murdered, help was requested and denied, one of those murdered people was drug through the streets, sodomized, tortured, beaten, and disfigured and Secretary Clinton would like to know what difference it makes now.
B.O. did his usual transparent administration thing and had no knowledge of any of the events. In fact, while our brave men were being murdered, Mr. Obama claims that he went to bed early in order to get a good night's sleep for the next morning's fund raiser.
Before he allowed these four men to be murdered, B.O. had had a hand in the deaths of hundreds of others. He had tried to create a gun violence crisis south of the border by allowing hundreds of untraced guns to flow into Mexico. In his usual transparent manner he has covered the entire event with an executive order. How transparent is that? With very few exceptions, the msm has yawned.
Next up in the scandal meter is the tapping of the phones that the self same media uses. Another big yawn. After that there was the matter of the IRS denying hundreds of applications to Tea Party and Libertarian organizations that could have made a huge difference in the 2012 elections. Another big media yawn.
In fact, using the IRS as a weapon was something that Mr. Nixon had done, and was one of the most hotly reported items for weeks on end. When Obama did it? Huge yawn from the msm.
So in the grand scheme of things, at least Mr. Nixon had the decency to resign and spare our great Republic from any more of his mistakes. Obama will have to be impeached and drug screaming from the Oval office.
The sooner the better. Think about it. You'll thank me later.

Empathy? That is so Yesterday
I enjoy tooling around the internet, reading the various articles that Yahoo puts out defending B.O. on a daily basis. Some of those invariably mention food stamps, and I almost always go straight to the comment section of those. Guilty as charged.
While there, I will read from many, many lucky people who have never ever in their lives been dependent on assistance. That must be the case, as they are very draconian in their allowances for what people should be able to buy with a food stamp.
If a person has paid into the system their entire working life, and then the time comes that they are down sized from their job, I think that they should be able to use the system that they were forced to support. Is there a line of people monitoring your purchases if you receive unemployment? No. Because you paid into the system and you are simply getting some of your money back from it.
How is the food stamp program any different if you have paid into it? Now understand, I am not talking about the professional moochers, illegals, and various other miscreants who have made government assistance a lifestyle.
I am talking about the hard working people who have lost their jobs because Obama is an idiot who didn't see the law of unintended consequences when it was staring him right in the face. He also didn't listen as people who actually know what they are talking about told him that his socialized medicine scheme wouldn't work.
I am talking about the people who have lost their jobs, had their hours cut, or simply cannot afford food in addition to all of the other expenses that B.O. has laid on their shoulders. You have to have a roof over your head. You have to have gasoline in your car to get back and forth to your job. Quite often that leaves food at the bottom of the list, and many people have run out of money before they get to that one. Are they supposed to go hungry? Or even if they are receiving help, are they supposed to adhere to a strict list of what they can and cannot buy with money that was forcibly taken from them and now they need back? Please.
I've read varying degrees of stupidity that cry out for changes in the food stamp program. They usually fall into one of several predictable categories.
The don't let them buy junk food or soda category. These gracious souls believe that any sort of non essential food stuff is a waste of (your) money and don't think that you should be able to buy it with the money that you had taken from you in case you ever needed it, and now need it.
The only let them buy nutritious foods that they make from scratch category. These big hearted folks are the ones who think that anything you buy shouldn't be prepackaged, ( good bye tuna helper) frozen, (adios frozen dinners), or premade. (Hello cooking everything from cakes to biscuits from flour and other ingredients. I hope you have access to a cook book)
And my personal favorite The meat, vegetables, whole grains only crowd. These are the ones who probably couldn't make a fried chicken from a regular chicken if their lives depended on it. It is very easy to be sanctimonious and self righteous when you've never been down on your luck, isn't it?
The next time you see someone who has to use foodstamps, try thanking God that you aren't in their shoes. Be grateful that you don't need any assistance right now. Because you never know, with B.O.'s depression, you could be next. Think about it. You'll thank me later.

McCain=Romney=Christie. Enough Already!!
The msm has been writing about Chris Christie with breathless abandon. Ann Coulter, a woman with an opinion I used to respect, has been writing about Christie with an almost giddy worshipful tone that is off putting. She also endorsed Romney. Ick.
I think Christie has done good things for New Jersey. He has made them financially solvent again by reigning in the stranglehold that those unions had on his state. They can keep him.
He also put him ham like arms around B.O. and tacitly endorsed him in the last election. He knew what he was doing, because lo and behold! New Jersey got a butt ton of money to rebuild things that should have been covered by private insurances. Good for New Jersey, they can keep him.
While I want my President to have some experience in running a government organization, this is one governor that I'll take a pass on. He's a blowhard. He may be what they expect in New Jersey, but in reality he is an uncouth jerk who is too used to yelling his opponent down. I don't want a delicate flower with genteel manners (see Romney,Mitt) or a guy who is one sandwich shy of a picnic (see McCain, John) I would like someone who won't embarrass me. (see, Obama/Soetoro, Barack/Barry)
I know the right person is out there. They just have to throw themselves into the meat grinder of politics and understand that they are running against not just the Democrat but the msm as well. I don't think that I would want to do that. It's not that I wouldn't want to help our Republic, but look at what happened to Herman Cain.
He is a decent, intelligent great man with wonderful ideas. He was ground into political sausage. I just don't think I would want my entire life under a microscope like that, would you?
So anyway, I am hoping for the next great conservative to step out and shine. I am also hoping that the cheating that put B.O. in the oval office is removed by then. There's a reason democrats like the saying 'vote early and often' and I hope that they are caught and punished for it someday.
Pray for our country and her leaders. You'll thank me later. Ps Happy Birthday Ken!

John Huntsman is a Righteous Weenie
In the last election, I found myself voting for the number two position on the ticket, Paul Ryan. He is an awesome man, a wonderful human being and an all around decent conservative. I'm not a fan of Mitt Romney's and much like McCain, he was only the nominee because he outlasted the other, better candidates, and the GOP establishment decreed it was his "turn". They have almost lost me. I consider myself a conservative independent now. Much like President Reagan thought of the democratic party, I'm not leaving the GOP, it's leaving me.
I don't quite understand the Libertarian Party either. They seem to just want to be left alone and they have some quirky views on some things that I can't reconcile myself to support. I understand their opinions about the war on drugs. It's mostly an abject failure, common sense is not applied anywhere that I can see in this particular war.
But on the other hand, the social safety nets that we have in place do save many people. I have no problem with a person in dire straights using food stamps until they can manage to get back on their feet. Just don't make it a lifestyle, you know? Libertarians would have all of those things removed and rely on the social programs in place. I'm okay with that to a point, but I like the idea of a back up to the back up.
Enter John Huntsman. He ran in the last Presidential election and he was an outside chance at best. It has been revealed that his campaign was the one responsible for some clinton-esque leaks about two of his opponents. One of them was Herman Cain, the man that had my initial support to be president. When the initial mud began to be flung, I put the blame for that round of mud on team b.o. The last thing he would have wanted to run against was a successful black man, especially one that had managed to do it without suckling at the government teat.
Ironically, the msm that had years before told me that slick willie's serial indiscretions were of zero relevance to the job he was doing, just about broke their own legs and necks to breathlessly report every drop of mud that could be scraped up about Mr. Cain and or Speaker Gingrich. Disgusting. One of the debates even had the lack of taste to begin with the baseless mud that was being slung at Newt Gingrich. He did a wonderful job of dismantling that.
http://youtu.be/KxQTp07KS_k
Just a wonderful job.
So now there is evidence that Huntsman not only had his team leak the information-that is to say lies- about Herman Cain, they also released a ton of dirt about Mitch Daniels, the governor of Indiana at the time. It would seem that he would have carved away some of the share that Huntsman was clinging to, and it was decided that releasing the very personal information about Governor Daniels' divorce and marriage would remove his entrance into the presidential race. Let me repeat: John Huntsman is a righteous weenie.
Whatever happened to running on your own ideas, and hoping that people agreed with your opinions? The Clinton's raised personal destruction to a new level, and Huntsman just followed right through with it. Shame on him.
Because of that righteous weenie, we were left with Romney. And while Romney may be an excellent man, husband, father, and human being (and I believe he is) he was never ever going to win against b.o. The msm saw to that.
The Libertarian Party clings to Huntsman, and if they want to have a shred of integrity left, they will throw him to the wolves. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Obamacare Exempts Muslims But Not Catholics
I lost three weeks of my life which I will never see again. It's my own fault, I wasted it trying to make sense of socialized medicine by reading through the legislation known as obamacare from cover to cover. I read it all, but most of it doesn't make sense. Much like the moronic unfinished code that comprises the actual computer code that is obamacare-it is mostly gibberish. Did you know that muslims are exempted from obamacare? That's correct-you read that right.
The guy who had a book written for him claimed that if the winds ever turned against them-he would stand with the muslims. He wasn't lying. The religion of peace doesn't have to fork over a huge chunk of money that they don't have to buy inflated insurance for things that they don't need. And they don't have to pay a fine for it. Nice benefit for being a muslim, isn't it?
Of course, Catholic Schools, Hospitals and Universities are still required to provide abortifacients- but hey!-that's different! That is only forcing them to go against their core beliefs by providing access to abortions and abortion causing drugs. Why, that would be like forcing muslims to buy insurance. Hey! Wait a tick-isn't that a glaring double standard there?
I have asthma, so I'll not be holding my breath on this one, will I?
Further horror stories are being released about the nightmare of obamacare, and in a delicious bit of irony, the useless Senator from Indiana, Joe Connelly, aka obama's number one fan, has released the tidbit that his own son is losing his coverage thanks to obamacare. That my friend, is karma in action.
I gave my son the advice to pay the fine. Avoid obamacare like the plague, and it turns out that a leading consumer magazine has done the same thing. It is warning people not to even go to the website for obamacare, as it is plagued with problems that could become a problem for the computer that is visiting the site. Also, the hackers and other ne'er do wells are attacking the people who visit obamacare. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving.
Team obama knew that the site wasn't going to work three years ago. They new as little as three months before the big launch that the site was going to be a huge cluster hump and they did nothing to stop it. Not one thing. Just like in Benghazi, no?
Call your elected officials and demand that they pull the plug on socialized medicine. The scheme didn't work and we are trillions more poor because of it. Trillions. With a T.
I have suggested before that they stop obamacare and all of the cancelled insurance policies (that b.o. swore wouldn't happen) and all of the slashed hours (that b.o. swore wouldn't happen) and try it out on the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of our government. Let the politicians, their families, and their employees and their families try it out and work out the bugs. After five years or so, it should have the kinks worked out and it'll be ready for the rest of us. Think about it. You'll thank me later.

I'm Racist? Not so Much.
Is there anyone who doesn't know how I feel about Obama? I cannot imagine that someone could peruse even two of my posts and not understand that I believe he is trying wholeheartedly to destroy our Republic. He doesn't think like an American. He doesn't act like an American, and until someone shows me differently, I agree with Sheriff Arpaio- he isn't an American.
But the reason for the introduction is that I am so very tired of those who would disagree with me simply attempting to dismiss me as a racist to belittle my opinion. Racist, much like homophobe, has become the go to word when a person of liberal persuasion is trying to shut down a conversation. This is political correctness run amok.
I don't care if you want to spend your life living and loving a person of the same sex. I don't want to see it, though. I surely don't want to support it with my taxes or subsidize it in any way. As soon as the Boy Scouts made their heinous decision, I pulled my sons from scouting. Luckily, my church is involved in a new program that will be much like scouting used to be. The membership is ballooning, and best of all, no more worries about homosexuals having access to my children.
When I voiced this opinion in no uncertain terms on facebook-I was "unfriended" by a lesbian that I knew. She is the friend of a friend, so to speak. She "married" some woman in Canada about five years ago, and that lasted about ten minutes. Then, without any sort of divorce or whatever it is that two homosexuals do when they decide to stop playing married, she moved on to the next one. My avowed belief that marriage takes one of each caught her by surprise I guess. You can read it in a post of mine- Another Lesbian writes me off. It's one of my favorites. But to get back to the point I was tenuously making, I'm not a homophobe. I don't believe that God made anyone homosexual. No more than he made them pedophiles. I do think that people take the wrong turn in life, that sometimes people make horrendous choices. I would put homosexuality on that list.
As for being racist? That accusation is a swing and a miss as well. I don't have a problem with any color of person, so long as they are honest, fair, and hard working. I would never invite someone to move into my home so that I could work twice as hard and give them half of my things. I won't do that with our borders, either. In four simple words: anchor babies, go home. But now that I have cleared the air with my anti-homosexual, anti-illegal alien rant, I'll call it a week. Think about what kind of nation and what kind of world you want to leave your children. You'll thank me later.

Thank You For Your Service, You May Go Home Now
John McCain brought Sarah Palin to the national front, and for that, I will be eternally grateful. Mrs. Palin is smart, witty, and a quick thinker who is able to box liberals into their own traps. I love her to pieces. John McCain, however, is another story. I am grateful for his service to our country. He needs to go home to the current wife and enjoy retirement. He lost my support most definitively when he called me a 'whacko bird' and now, I am just over him. He has been on the government teat for entirely too long. He is out of touch, out of ideas, and perhaps out of his mind. He moved faster than I have seen him move in years in an attempt to smear Senator Ted Cruz for having the audacity to fight. McCain doesn't get it. Perhaps he has been in the beltway for too long. Much like Lindsey Graham has. They don't get the idea that being a senator is not supposed to be a life's work. It is supposed to be a part time, short period time of your life. You shouldn't need to buy a house because you have been there for so long. When you do that, you lose touch with your constituents- you know, the people who sent you there and pay your salary.
There should be a litmus test- each and every elected official should be asked if they will sign themselves and their families up for obamacare. The ones who say 'no' or who dodge the question should be turned out, post haste.
The msm is trying to paint the last shutdown as a huge loss for conservatives. How is that even possible when B.O. simply wouldn't even consider any of the bills that were passed by the House. Of course, he didn't have to, because his enablers in the Senate were only too happy to oblige him. Reid, who once referred to Tea Party members as trolls, put himself firmly in sights to be replaced as the Senate majority leader.
I think that he should be impeached for not passing a budget in over five years. They only have a handful of jobs spelled out for them in the Constitution, and passing a budget is one of them. Giving B.O. cart blanche to spend his socialist heart out is not written into the Constitution.
2014 may well be the year of the RINO. Not in their having a run of victories, but in the majority of them being given their walking papers, their pink slips, being shown the door. It cannot come soon enough. Register to vote. Then, vote. Get involved on the local level to have more input on the National scene. It starts at home, as they say, and the sooner a ground swell of people begin to hold their elected officials to their higher standards, the sooner we can egin to fix all of the things that have been allowed to be broken. Get involved. You'll thank me later.
There should be a litmus test- each and every elected official should be asked if they will sign themselves and their families up for obamacare. The ones who say 'no' or who dodge the question should be turned out, post haste.
The msm is trying to paint the last shutdown as a huge loss for conservatives. How is that even possible when B.O. simply wouldn't even consider any of the bills that were passed by the House. Of course, he didn't have to, because his enablers in the Senate were only too happy to oblige him.

How to Avoid Obamacare
Nancy Pelosi wasn't kidding when she told me she would have to pass the law so that I could see what was in it. Turns out, it was a big fat giant turd sandwich. Ms. Pelosi lost the giant gavel two years later, and I would not be surprised if Harry Reid and his sparkling personality lose the Majority next year. He can be the minority speaker, and with any luck, his scowl will be featured less often then.
Theidiots, morons, socialists who wrote the gist of Obamacare have never spoken to a person who is licensed to sell insurance. They have never read a book about how insurance works, and they clearly have never taken a gander at how the real world works out here, away from the 'beltway.'
That is a good thing in the regard: the way that the penalty is collected from this abomination has no teeth. This "tax" can only be collected if you have a refund coming to you, and if you do not have a tax rebate coming to you, there is no way that the federal government can collect it. You read that correctly. The morons who wrote this crap didn't put any teeth in the penalty.
The way to avoid having to pay the penalty is simple-don't loan the government any of your money.
By that, I mean, if you are one of the fools who overpays your tax amount so that you can get a refund every year, you are dumb. Stop giving the feds an interest free loan. Redo you deductions so that you have no refund coming. This will do two things.
First, you will stop giving the government free use of your money ( it's not like they pay you interest) and two- if you are one of the millions who choose not to enroll in socialized medicine, they won't be able to penalize you. You read that right. The law does not provide for any way to collect the "tax" than to withhold it from your income tax rebate. If you do not have a rebate coming to you, then you have no way for them to take your money. They cannot access your bank accounts. They cannot put a lien on your property. They cannot do anything, legally, except take the money from any refund that you have coming to you. Don't set up your taxes so that you have a rebate. You'll thank me later.

Obama Puts the 'dic' in Dictator
When Barrack Hussein Obama appeared from no where the msm heralded him as if he were a Messiah. They overlooked the fact that he only got elected as a senator after his opponents sealed divorce records were "accidentally" released and he was drug through all of the muck that team b.o. could muster.
The msm had an absolute hissy fit at President Bush (the latter) and his lack of experience. They bemoaned his lack of time suckling the government teat, they told me he was a cowboy, stupid, and completely unprepared to defeat Al Gore-the man who invented the internet. Imagine their surprise when President Bush managed to win after as many shenanigans as politically possible failed to steal the election in Florida.
After President Bush, the msm was giddy at the thought of Mrs. Clinton becoming the first woman President-that is until the new Senator from Illinois threw his taqiyah into the ring. After all, B.O. had held the job of senator for almost two months before stepping into the national ring. That gave him almost as much experience as Hillary had before carpet bagging her way into the senate in New York State.
So there is Hillary-suddenly on the curb after considering herself a shoo in as the next democratic nominee. A deal was struck and Hillary agreed to be Secretary of State in exchange for allowing Obama to ascend to the office for which he was totally unprepared. While running against him, Hillary, in full Clinton mode released the information that Obama was not born in the United States, but was in fact born in Kenya. The media yawned. Never mind that there were signs in Kenya proudly announcing Obama's birthplace. Never mind that there was descriptive evidence- he had even put it in his biography when he worked at Harvard. Now, people who insist that he wasn't born here are derisively called 'birthers.' Well, birther I am, he wasn't born here.
But after Hillary waspaid off,brought on board as Secretary of State, B.O. went about the business of attempting to destroy our Republic from within. He refused to enforce our laws (borders, DOMA, etc) and he refused to submit his advisers for congressional review, instead, having 'czars' that require no congressional oversight, the way every single commander in chief has been required to do before B.O. The mysteries behind that Valerie Jarrett could fill a book. Much like the missing background on B.O.
So now there is a judge in Alabama who must have nothing to lose. He has allowed the case against B.O.'s eligibility to move forward, even including the mountains of evidence assembled by Sheriff Arpaio's cold case posse. The mountain of evidence that the msm has collectively ignored/yawned over. Picture Kevin Bacon's character in Animal House as he assures everyone that 'all is well' and you pretty much have the picture of what the msm has been doing in relation to their boy, b.o.
The government shutdown is owned 100% lock stock and barrel by B.O. and Harry Reid. These two unprepossessing fools have not managed to pass a budget in over five years, and yet they continue to attempt to blame the politicians who are right of center as the problem. Riiiight.
Over the past weekend, b.o. has denied veterans from World War II the right to visit the memorial that was built to honor their great sacrifice. Keep in mind, this is an open memorial requiring little if any resources to maintain. That's right-b.o. spent more money to close it down to our veterans than it would have cost to keep it open. What.a.tool.
This also hasn't stopped him from shutting down the amber alert system that we use to find missing or endangered children quicker. He has kept the yeti's 'let's move' site up and running, because that is much more important than finding lost or stolen children. What.a.tool.
In another burst of obamaisms, he has put what is coming to be known as "barry-cades" around other government sites, cordoned off the Mount Rushmore site, and at one point, he even refused to let states spend their own money to keep their parks open. He has relented on the Grand Canyon, allowing the great state of Arizona (hi Momma!) to maintain that park. Why is the federal government even involved in these parks??
How about if we kick these parks back into state maintenance and do away with the Department of Parks all together? Of course, it will mean firing a bunch of over paid federal workers, but if the states can do it cheaper, what are we waiting for?
Obama needs to go. We don't need a dictator. If the Republicans don't get their acts together soon, they will be on the receiving end of a pink slip also. Do you hear us, John McCain? Ask Dick Lugar how that worked out for him. You'll thank me later.

And Yet the Sun Still Rises
As I am writing this, we are in day three of the government shut down. I do not know if we will still be in an apocalyptic, life altering, end of the world 15% government lay off when this makes it to being published. If we aren't still in that aforementioned shut down-I can only hope that it isn't because Boehner caved. I like to hope that he has been able to summon the testicular fortitude necessary to complete this shut down and rid us all of the onus that is socialized medicine. I read today that Boehner was in "secret" meetings that with Reid in an effort to maintain the subsidies that congress receives for their insurance. Of course it was leaked.
Reid's intention the entire time was to make Boehner look like a weasel.
I'm not saying that that is a difficult job, but Boehner is rather like Charlie Brown, expecting the football not to be pulled away. Sad.
Of course, the serial leaker from Reid's office will get off scott free. The ms is really hoping to whip up a case of indignation against Boehner and under cut his resolve. They have tried libeling the Tea Party. They have lied about the number of people who want socialized medicine, and finally that have broken the trust given to them (again) by lying about the number of people who are signing up for socialized medicine. In California alone- the msm reported over 5 million people signing up, when in fact, not even 50 thousand signed up. The people who even went to the site was only 645,000. How can you mistake five million for six hundred thousand? They were lying, plain and simple. They were looking to see how bad it would be. It's bad, very very bad.
So now that the moments of hysteria have faded, I can only hope-looking into the future- that we have begun to wash the stink of socialism off of us. I hope that Boehner has stood firm and forced B.O. into giving way on the only thing he has accomplished in six years.
It must be because of all that thought he gives to jobs, she said sarcastically.
Consider what the impact has been on you during this shutdown. Have you lost power? Have you had to cut back on breathing, eating or sleeping? Has the sun still risen, the birds still sung? How about the wind? Not the hot air coming out of DC but the wind is still blowing. We'll all be fine.
I think perhaps B.O. ( who hypothetically was a "professor" at Harvard teaching Constitutional Law) will realize that he isn't the king of anything and that the other two branches of government have an equal say in how things are supposed to go.
Even though Harry Reid hasn't passed a budget in over five years ( and why isn't he facing impeachment for dereliction of duty??) we can still manage to thwart B.O. and his socialist toadies. Did you know that the majority of the "navigators" that have been hired to help you swallow socialized medicine are former ACORN workers who helped B.O. steal a couple of elections? Kinda makes you not want to trust them with your private information, doesn't it? Of course, with all of B.O.'s homeland security spying, it's not like they don't have it anyway.
Resist socialism. Resist tyranny. Stand strong and keep the pressure on our elected officials. You'll thank me later.
