Looks like the joke is on you, I don't live in Oklahoma I live in the Socialist Republic of Washington. I've been trying to sell my house here since two weeks after Comrade Obama won the election and our own socialist governor won her election as I knew I could not live under the tax burden of both a socialist President and Governor. Of course Obama and his policies have destroyed the country so badly I can't even get a beautiful house sold in over 400 days despite it being listed way under value. I chose Oklahoma as my future home because it is populated by strong pro-American conservatives who know the value of hard work and if states decided to secede from the Union because of Obama's Marxist take over I figured the exodus would start in the Texas/Oklahoma area and I wanted to make sure I was living on the right side of the battle lines.

You are correct dcgirl, studies have shown that conservatives/republicans give far more to charity than liberals/dems and I'm sure mika knows that. I'm sure the left wouldn't mind these charitable gifts except that most charity given by the right goes through their churches which offends the left, they can't even take a hand out without complaining about it.

Mika also states that "right-wingers" tend to be selfish in their personal and political lives, well news flash to mika; if someone earns their money they do not have to give any of it away, call it greedy if you want, but when you earn it you also earn the right to decide what to do with it including.....oh no I can't believe I'm going to say this.....KEEP IT. I wouldn't blame anyone for not giving a penny to charity as we already have enough of our money stolen by government so it can be redistributed to the very leeches who call us greedy for wanting to keep what we have earned.

I had to give you a thumbs up JB because obviously you upset some lib with your idea and they gave you a drive-by thumbs down giving you a zero score.....see they even take from producers on a message board. ;o)

Those of us who are hard working conservatives would of course love your idea because we know we are the producers and if we didn't have to pay for the welfare left we would all see our lives and wallets improve substantially. The left of course are lazy and dependant on stealing the fruits of our hard labor. They blame everything on the rich, but if you spoke to them off the record they would admit that they know that the rich and middle class pay for their very existence for without our subsidizing them they would either die.....or worse, have to actually work to support themselves.

Sounds like a reasonable requirement to me Paul, I'm going to start voting for it here in Washington too......when it stops at my house, stops at all of the stores I go to and works on my schedule. If only we had a system that worked like that.....oh yeah we do, cars. Now if we could only get those mass transit riders to subsidize our car usage the way we are forced to subsidize their bus and train tickets.

"Those of us who earn the most, owe the most. It's the American way. " -------------------------

No it is not the American way it is the progressive socialist way. The progressive tax system we use was made to take any burden of paying taxes away from the poor and force it almost entirely on the rich and middle class so that the socialist, who call themselves democrats, could use class warfare against the rich for the poor's (lazy) votes. If we had a fair tax system, a flat tax, where everyone shared the same burden by percentage of their income then the poor would stop voting for every social service under the sun because for once in their lives they would actually be forced to help pay for the services they think they are ENTITLED to. The poor who vote democrat are socialist progressive leeches and the democrats are their elected thieves to steal from the conservative producers in this country.

Sorry mikatollah but the Chinese don't like outsiders which is why they built the Great Wall of China to prevent invasion. Alabama represents real Americans who love freedom (freedom and democracy didn't agree with the Chinese at Tiananmen Square), but California represents fellow commies so CA would be a natural fit for China and we're not using it and it's resources anyway, unless you count the dissemination of anti-American Progressivism and immorality as resources, so let them have it.

Is there such a thing as a mass transit system or light rail system that isn't a progressive scam? Here in The Socialist Republic of Washington the mass transit system is subsidized by car tab fees and with our gas tax. Interesting isn't it how people who choose the freedom of using our cars to get around are the ones forced to subsidize bus fare for bus riders that get their own lanes on the highway that we car drivers also pay for and for every light rail users ticket? If these leftist want their mass transit systems then make their ticket prices to ride reflect the cost that it takes to run the system rather than forcing the cost onto those of us who don't use it. More socialism/redistribution from the left which is why these leeches always vote YES for new proposals for these mass transit boondoggles.

"Slate’s Jacob Weisberg came unhinged on Friday and gave the country the finger.

“Down with the People!” he screams from Bill Gates lap. As Jacob sees it, we the people are demanding two mutually exclusive things: premium government services and tax cuts, and when we can’t have what we want, we become unruly children." -------------------------------------------- I'm not surprised to see such a BS point being made from someone from Slate. WE do not want premium government services, WE want smaller government and the tax cuts that would come from the shrinking of Big Government. Of course I am speaking as a conservative which means I am self reliant and want government out of my life. I'm sure I don't speak for the left who do want the premium government services from their big nanny government since these progressive leeches are not the ones stuck with the bill.

If this guy is considered the "go to guy" for the lame stream media and for those wonderful law abiding rappers then it is obvious he is an enemy of the United States and anything he says may as well be from Bin Laden himself. These are the people our media embrace, enemies of the US, so we can dismiss anything this guy has to say just as we've learned to ignore our propagandist media.

"Is the U.S. swine flu epidemic over?"

There never was a swine flu epidemic so there couldn't be an end to something that never existed just like we can't fix man-made global warming because it doesn't exist. The whole swine flu thing was most likely invented to create a crisis that the government could use for its political agenda. In my opinion Comrade Obama needed to get the pharmaceutical companies on board with his socialist health care plan so they cooked up a fake crisis to sell tons of swine flu vaccine for the drug companies in exchange for their sudden support for socialized medicine. Too bad for Obama that the left-wing media blackout on the contents of his health care take-over didn't include Fox News because in the end we the people did get the truth and his plan didn't last long in the sunlight.
