"Hamilton is at least consistent in his disdain for Tea Partiers and Tenthers. States' rights? Bah!
It's evident from the posting on okhouse.gov Terrill has no problem with a state law against talking and texting. He just doesn't want it to be enforced at the national level. Maybe Hamilton is right though. Maybe there's no such thing as overreach.
It's just that I was reading on the Hosanna-Tabor case recently decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, a unanimous hand-slap to the government, prohibiting it from interfering in a church's determination of who will act as its ministers. Sounds kind of overreachy to me .. shh! Nothing to see here. Move along.
I was also musing about Ted Rall's last column. Seems that Ted believes the government is the ultimate arbiter of wealth and happiness, with consummate authority to create jobs, redistribute incomes, pay off mortgages, and give us all a lifetime supply of Chunky Monkey.
A couple of weeks ago Hamilton is shrieking about the possibility of rescinding the state income tax. Not enough money to fund the essential services. State capitol building is a dump. Need money to fix it, etc. What I don't understand, is if we are all a bunch of fat, dumb, lazy, sick people here in Oklahoma (this weeks UTW, page 16), how can we possibly be trusted to decide our own fate? Wouldn't it be better to just let Oklahoma be run from Washington? I would think that Hamilton would get behind abolishing the state income tax. Cut out the middle man, so to speak. No more fat salaries for useless state legislators, no more worrying about the dome at the state capitol building falling in. And surely the feds could fix our crappy roads. Because apparently we can't.
Maybe Uncle Sugah really can solve all our problems. And maybe if not for the obstructionist Republicans President Obama would have shipped our Chunky Monkey orders by now. It's just that the President still has a lot of overreaching to do in his fundamental transformation of America: rebuilding America's worldwide image, cooling the planet down, and making us buy health insurance. And he's still trying to quit smoking.
Let's be patient. He'll get to it."
