Go Iceland!

Don't like what your government is doing?


Change it.



Iceland did.


Interesting how we never hear this sort of thing in the news.


I fully expect that my cell phone and internet service will be cut once I post this.



Can't let civil unrest brew after all.



Don't worry - I am sure Big Brother has a plan and is ready to take care of us all.

Nor is it the real "Small Government" groups advocating this stuff. It's the looney RIGHT trying to get in front of the parade with a Drum Major's baton.

Oh, I understand this about the source of those ridiculous off-party message when they pop up. The problem seems to be, there is no strong party leadership in either the Libertarian or Tea-Party shouting them down either. Which leads me to believe that those who are 'in charge' (to whatever degree that happens to be) are at least partially OK with courting the Right in order to see what sort of political favors it can win them.

It's the whole game of politics in general that disgusts me. Look, two or three senators banding together to get a canal built? Fine. But dozens of them claiming to represent a unified platform is just hog-wash; the only platform they are representing is the 're-elect me' platform and that rarely means the best service for their constituents.

And THIS would be the primary reason I am against many forms of big government (although I am not someone who goes so far as to say the Federal gov should be dissolved in favor of all-local, all-the-time; that way often leads to the wholesale trampling of civil rights and massive abuse of the have-nots by the haves.

If you are TJ lover, do you happen to listen to the Thomas Jefferson hour with Clay Jenkins? If you don't, you should. It's a lovely radio program and I think you would enjoy it!
