flipflopper

Now if you stay up with my blogs, you will notice that I joke and make outlandish statements occasionally. Now just like the rest of you, I though Rick Perry was off his rocker, but if you think about it, he might be absolutely right when he said that Texas should secede from the Union.

My liberal bias mind doesn’t always lean to the left, hence the name “FlipFlopper”, so just hear me out on this one.

What A Great State

A friend of mine and I were having a discussion about our nation and the lack of desire by the American People to make any drastic changes at a time when change is drastically needed. I will blog more about the conversation that lead up to my conclusion in my next post because I know your are chomping at the bit to ridicule my support for seceding from such a great nation.

Here is the point that friend made:

There are 2 parties running America, Republicans and Democrats. independents/libertarians can run for office, but will never get elected. Of the 300 something million people in America maybe 30 - 35 % of them care enough to try to change the way this country is ran.

Long story short, he pointed out that if America keeps going in the same direction, we are all going to be in a world of hurt before we realize it, and it really is already too late to be able to change the system. There is too much power, greed, and corruption involved.

So if there is no hope, why not start over? Why not live by a once great constitution? Why not change the election process? Why not look at the possibilities of undoing all of the wrongs while incorporating all of the rights?

Texas is a big state with 3 cities among top 10 cities in the United States. The environment is very diverse and Texas has a vast variety of natural resources.

We would not secede because Obama is screwing up, or because Bush drove this nation into the ground. No, we would seccede for the same reason’s our Four Fathers found “this” great nation. We would secede because there is a power that is greater than it’s people. We call it the American Government. If you honestly believe that America is for the people, by the people then you are only fooling yourself.

How is it possible that a President with a national popularity of 35% and less along with a congress of a 17% approval rating not get the boot? How can these people finish their terms? But we will try and kick a president out of office for doing something that you yourself have done.

So why not start over?

I can think of one thing, well actually I didn’t thing of it and it caught me off guard, and that is if Texas secedes, George W. could run for office. Scary… Thank you TopBreakingStories.

Oh… and by the way, if a Democrat hade even whispered the word “Secede” 2,4,6, or 8 years ago, he would have been thrown into a back alley, beat, and framed for murdering a prostitute.

Daryl Cagle’s Political Cartoons

1st 100 days

Why did Fox News not cover the live town hall speech that President Obama gave at  Arnold, MO’s town hall for his 100th day in office?

Now Fox being the un-biast news channel that they are, I assumed they would have played at least 5 minutes of the speech on live national television. I was watching the speach on CNN when I decided to see Fox New’s coverage of the speech. Unsuprisingly, there was no such coverage. However, there was a stuffy Right Winged Senator on the show jabbering about something, so I figured I would listen to what he had to say for a while. Obviously it must be more important than what the President of the United States of America has to say right? Well, I was right. While all of you were listening to some meaningless 100th day in office publicity stunt, I was learning that Obama’s first 100 days in office are already showing signs of all the horrible things the Clinton’s did while in office. Yes, Hillary was mentioned too. The Trillion Dollar spending, talks of downsizing the military, the blow jobs in the oval office… I’m not quite sure they mentioned the last one, but I figured if he is following so closely in Former President Clinton’s foot steps, might as well right?

Well anyway, I was at work so I had to shut off the show for a minute to get a cup of coffee. I work for the government by they way, so that’s pretty much what my day consists of, coffee and news. So I shut it off, go get my cup of coffee (I was rather liberal with the cream but kind of conservative on the sugar), and I go back to watch the rest of this history lesson that was being given on Fox News. Fortunately for me, I get back to my chair and realized that I had missed the rest of the lesson, but was lucky enough to see some guy standing in a pig pin with several large hogs talking about the swine flu. Now I’m not taking this swine flu thing lightly, but come on man… The President of the United States of America is giving a speech and Fox News  has some idiot standing in the middle of a pig pin while the news anchor at the studio can only talk about how she can actually hear the pigs snorting. She thought it was the greatest thing in the world. She was so amazed and humored that she could actually hear the nasty animals. So at this point, I realized that I am the idiot because I am the one watching this shit, so I promptly turned the channel back to CNN so that I could listen to how Obama is going to run this country like Clinton did so we can get back on our feet after 8 years of shame and embarrassment.

So while all you Fox News guys/gals want to sit around and Clinton Bash like you did the last 8 years, the rest of the educated, mindful people of America will listen to what the President of the United States is saying and come to our own conclusions about how he is running this government. We don’t need Bill 0′Reilly’s spin on things.
