John Sullivan is an empty suit, a party hack who votes "the party line" every time upon command. He has nothing but contempt for the conservative Republican principles of limited constitutional government, separation of powers, checks and balances, sound money, and prudential fiscal and monetary restraint.
By his shameful voting record Sullivan has demonstrated his support for the totalitarian doctrines of preventative war (aggressive invasion of nations without formal Congressional declaration as mandated by the United States Constitution and condemned at the Nuremberg Tribunals after WWII), indefinite imprisonment, rendition, torture of people alleged to be "suspects" (an undefined and nebulous category), and assassination of American citizens without charge, arrest, trial, or conviction in a court of law.
He has voted for every tyrannical piece of legislation which comes across his desk, from the USA Patriot Act (which has gutted the Fourth and Fifth Amendment protection of privacy and due process), the draconian TSA with their invasive porn-scanners and sexual abusive groping of passengers at the nation's airports, and the recent 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) authorizing the military to arrest and detain indefinitely American citizens without charge or legal counsel.
Sullivan has voted for TARP and every other Wall Street big bank bailout/subsidy, voted for every increase in the National Debt ceiling, every piece of elite special-interest class legislation that enhances the corporatist welfare-warfare state enabled by the Federal Reserve banking cartel.
In 1944, in the midst of World War II, the heroic conservative journalist John T. Flynn wrote:
“The test of fascism is not one’s rage against the Italian and German war lords. The test is how many of the essential principles of fascism do you accept and to what extent are you prepared to apply those fascist ideas to American social and economic life? When you can put your finger on the men or the groups that urge for America the debt-supported state, the autarchial corporative state, the state bent on the socialization of investment and the bureaucratic government of industry and society, the establishment of the institution of militarism as the great glamorous public-works project of the nation and the institution of imperialism under which it proposes to regulate and rule the world and, along with this, proposes to alter the forms of our government to approach as closely as possible the unrestrained, absolute government. Then you will know you have located the authentic fascist.”
Look no farther than John Sullivan. You will have found your authentic fascist and the shame of Oklahoma.

Oakland, California's Anthony Gregory is one of the brightest, most prescient young writers today analyzing the "Occupy" phenomena across the planet:

DemocracyNow.org Reports:
"Obama Tops GOP Candidates in Wall Street Donations"
New figures show President Obama continues to pull in huge donations from the financial sector, with more money from Wall Street this year than all other Republican presidential candidates combined. According to the Washington Post, Obama has raised a total of $15.6 million from banks and other financial firms, with nearly $12 million of that going to the Democratic National Committee. Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney has raised less than half that much from Wall Street, around $7.5 million. A top banking executive and Obama fundraiser told the Washington Post that reports of Wall Street antagonism toward Obama "are exaggerated and overblown ... [but] it probably helps from a political perspective if he’s not seen as a Wall Street guy."

This is more confirmation of the details outlined in Charles Gasparino's 2010 book, Bought and Paid For: The Unholy Alliance Between Barack Obama and Wall Street.

Actions have consequences. The serious consequences described in this informative article are a result of what observers have long described as "the Iron Laws of Drug Prohitition."
http://www.dpft.org/dangerous.htm
Effects of prohibition:
* Deprives user of ready knowledge of purity.
* Deprives user of ready knowledge of dose.
* Makes drugs more available.
* Promotes feelings of stress and isolation that lead to heavier drug use.
* Places the drug supply under the control of dealers.
* Diverts resources from treatment and prevention.
* Employs scare tactics and exaggerations that undermine the credibility of authorities and of drug education.
* Prison sentences do more damage to the user and to society than the drug itself.
* The Iron Law of Prohibition means more potent drugs.
* Marijuana is not available as a less dangerous substitute.
* Destroys cooperation and research.
* Blurs the danger of alcohol.
These phenomena are consistent with what occurred during alcohol prohibition in the early 20th Century if we analyze the effects of prohibition on consumption, production, and distribution of alcohol:

Occupy Wall Street? Tulsans, the crony corporatist chickens (and their apologists) roost in your own backyard.
In downtown Tulsa, the BOK Tower is headquarters for crony corporatist/Obama campaign donation bundler, billionaire George Kaiser. Kaiser is chairman of BOK Financial Corporation, and the largest investor in the corrupt/scandal-ridden Solyndra "green energy" scam.
Within a brief walking distance from the BOK Tower is that repugnant rag, The Tulsa World, which is engineering a disinformation campaign on behalf of its billionaire neighbor Kaiser.
For both supporters and opponents of the “Occupy” protests who seek more incisive background in understanding what has been really going on behind-the-scenes with these corporate and financial elites, Google these four items below:
“In a Relationship, and It’s Complicated,” by Anthony Gregory
“Wall Street, Banks, and American Foreign Policy,” by Murray N. Rothbard
“Marx’s Tea Party,” by Anthony Gregory
"The Evil 1%," by Lew Rockwell
All four articles “name names,” are forthright, direct, and pull no punches.
