Maryland, Tyranny is Thy Name

Maryland My Christmas Tree Look into this mirror and see yourself

“ Maryland Dream Act Passes In State Senate March 15, 2011 - The Maryland Senate has approved a controversial bill that would level the playing field for undocumented high school students when it comes to paying for their college education. The 28-19 vote on the Maryland Dream Act was mostly along party lines. ” “ Put the Maryland Dream Act to Referendum   June 14, 2011 Just as I supported voter referendums from the contentious gambling issue lawmakers grappled with for so long, I supported the effort to collect enough petition signatures in the coming weeks for the DREAM Act, as the bill is called, to be on the 2012 ballot. That way, voters across the state can say yes or no to a law that would cost Maryland millions just as we’re recovering from one of the worst economic crises in state and national history. Del. Joseph "Sonny" Minnick ” “ Md. ACLU questions Dream Act opponents’ petition drive June 10, 2011 - The petitioners’ website, mdpetitions.com, allows residents to print out and circulate their own copies of the petition. It automatically generates the residents’ information from voter records — after they provide their names, dates of birth and zip codes — to ensure that their signatures are not rejected due to technicalities or incorrect information. ”

The state used to have as its motto "America in Miniature."  It is that today more than ever. Using Maryland as a proxy state for all that's wrong with this nation only makes sense, as you'll see. It is the test kitchen for every toxic liberal concoction that comes along.  But, this willingness to trade freedom and responsibility for serfdom is recently arrived. Consider that... The State legislature once threatened to cut funds from the University of Maryland because of the series of Angela Davis type radicals it was hosting as lecturers.  In 1970 voters kicked Democrat Sen. Joe Tydings out of office for his sponsorship of the Firearms Registration and Licensing Act, which would have required the registration of firearms. The Maryland legislature met just every other year So what the hell happened?  Government happened. It became  the state's only industry (Wal-Mart is# 2), and people vote their pocket books, the hell with all. Now look at this crap.  The legislature rubber stamps any Liberal law that comes along.  There is no ballot initiative in Maryland. Only after legislation has passed can voters  petition to bring it to referendum.  And Democrats use all their resources to disqualify petition signatures. Elected officials are not subject to recall elections, period.  There are no accessible records of how legislators voted.  I suggest that this is as close to tyranny as you'll find in the USA.  Our problems today will be yours tomorrow. But we all have the solution, don't we? That's right; egg them. Or something.
