Why didn't I see that from the start? All this shit is about nothing more than "drill baby, drill."

the oil, the Kocks, for instance, own a trifecta of extractive interests petroleum, timber (Georgia-Pacific) and several mega-ranching outfits... and then there's hard rock mining).

The folks meed to be routed from our country, like nationalizing thier industrial interests and personally banished from doing business here. That along with their paid shills.

The Feds gave BP lots of drilling permits...in the Gulf...after the Gulf disaster.
the Feds happily let Shell drill away in the Arctic, despite Shell's horrifying history of environmental degradation.

You get down to state level, and there is much more citizen involvement, protesting that is going to happen.

Now you just gave up your right to ask for taxpayer dollars to rebuild after disaster strikes.

If the Ugly dysfunctional BIG Gubmint has a military base in your state we need to close that base, remove all military equipment and discharge any residents from the American military. (start your own military with YOUR tax-payer dollars) Then we need to begin treaty negotiations to see if any products your (country) produces can be sold in America. We can sell you military equipment made by the evil, big-gubmint United States of America!

If there is a state-wide disaster you will need to activate your state-police and your own state-funded national guard...Uncle Sam needs to use his taxpayer money to continue coddling those Cadillac-driving welfare queens!

You don't get to ride down a one-lane road of anti-government rhetoric... until you want BIG-GOVERNMENT'S bail-outs.

You want it, you take it and leave the USA. become your own goober country. If you want to sell your products in America, you need to negotiate trade agreements with America.

Go ahead and live your bigoted hate-filled dream life of a "free country": Outlaw queers, make the bible your history, science, and general trades training manual. You will continue to give lip-service to God's law and make God's Law the law of Goober-Nevada, Goober-Texas, Goober Louisiana, Goober New Mexico, what have you.

You will no longer have representatives in the US Capitol since you no longer belong to the USA! Your pulpit would have to be through representatives to the UN...But then, your type HATES the UN! So, go it alone you fucking morans.

Now your racist, bigoted, hate-filled right-wing hate groups can be correctly labelled foreign terrorists and a real threat to America. Maybe NOW America will take these gun-totin' Palin-loving, drooling goobers seriously and destroy them like bin laden.
